Breaking The Sound Barrier: Can Pilots Hear Sonic Booms?

The video explains the phenomenon of a Sonic boom, which occurs when an object travels faster than the speed of sound. It describes how sound waves form a Mach cone, leading to the loud boom heard on the ground. Inside the plane, passengers and crew do not hear the boom due to their position at the head of the Mach cone. The video also covers how sound travels through air and the internal sound dynamics within a supersonic aircraft, ensuring that sound levels remain unchanged for those on board.
