Although they cannot be completely prevented, research suggests that with careful shaping of the vehicle, the nuisance due to the sonic booms may be reduced to the point that overland supersonic flight may become a feasible option.

This led to prohibition of routine supersonic flight overland. Sonic booms due to large supersonic aircraft can be particularly loud and startling, tend to awaken people, and may cause minor damage to some structures. The crack of a supersonic bullet passing overhead or the crack of a bullwhip are examples of a sonic boom in miniature. Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding similar to an explosion or a thunderclap to the human ear. Conical shockwave with its hyperbola-shaped ground contact zone in yellowĪ sonic boom is a sound associated with shock waves created when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound.

Mach cone angle NASA data showing N-wave signature. Observers hear nothing until the shock wave, on the edges of the cone, crosses their location. A sonic boom produced by an aircraft moving at M=2.92, calculated from the cone angle of 20 degrees.

Since the source is moving faster than the sound waves it creates, it leads the advancing wavefront. The sound source is travelling at 1.4 times the speed of sound (Mach 1.4).
