NO BAKING BUFFET : BREAKING THE SOUND BARRIER...


A SONIC BOOM (IN AVIATION)
This is the loud noise (like thunder) produced by a supersonic aircraft which is flying faster than the speed of sound.
The speed of sound is 1 220km/h at sea level (760mph), it is commonly called Mach 1
When you are flying, your nice aircraft is creating a lot of air waves all around it, those waves are moving away when the aircraft flies (imagine a boat moving and see the wake in front of it…).
But if you want to go faster, those waves don’t have the time to move away so they combine into a large shock wave: the sonic boom.
This shock wave will move with the aircraft as long as it stays at the speed of sound of course, so it explains why you are able to hear it in a very large area…

MIRAGE F1 : "JE SUIS VENU TE DIRE QUE JE M'EN VAIS..."



Fox One, C'est fini !!!

This beauty will not fly anymore. After being removed from several French squadrons those last few years, the last of the F1 family (from Savoie's Recce squadron), is going for good as well...
Enjoy this amazing and moving tribute to those beautiful beasts (4 variants in the video : F1C, F1B, F1CT and F1CR) realized by the French Air Force (Armée de l'Air).

More stunning pictures from the Savoie's squadron and the "big day" at Mont-de Marsan : click here
