JackC 0 #5 May 5, 2003 How about this one? Thrust SSC breaking the sound barrier in the Black Rock desert. The shockwave extends about 150ft to each side of the nose. I went to a lecture given by the chief engineer. One picture was taken from a microlight. Apparently the shockwave gave the pilot some serious trouble as it passed. At supersonic speeds, the top 6-8 inches of the desert underneath the car is actually vapourised!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyboyblue 0 #6 May 5, 2003 that's peculiar how the light on the one with the trail has a path and stops at the front of the car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #11 May 6, 2003 I did a really cool lab last week for an aerospace engineering class. We ran a small Mach 2.2 wind tunnel, and used a flow visualization method (shadowgraph) to see the shockwaves on a sphere in the tunnel. I thought it was really cool.
