I once heard of an aircraft in which the propellers tips actually broke the sound barrier, and the noise was SO loud that it actually make the pilots physically ill. Does anyone know the name of this aircraft?
There are many aircraft where the airflow over the prop tips can exceed Mach 1 ("break the [...]
Where are sound barriers?? give me some examples of where some sound barriers are!! even the most simplest places would help!! i cant think right!! i fell really stupid can anyone help me….??
The highways that pass through main neighbor hoods

i have a science fair project called the effect of different decibels on sound barriers. and i would like to know what items i can use as a sound barrier . Also i would like to know what instrument i can use to perform different decibels,
For sound attenuation, you want to have varying levels / [...]
I want to block the sight and sound of a freeway.
Pine trees. Russian olives.

I have some noisy neighbors and would like to know if I can use draperies as a sound barrier? I know they will not block all the sound, but this is the deal: my bedroom is technically a solarium, so the only thing between me and the rest of my apartment is a [...]
In the movie "The Right Stuff" when Chuck Yeager breaks the sound barrier, the light outside starts looking weird. Does this actually happen?
No . . . Unlike what Hollywood depicts, it looks just like you would see when you fly at subsonic, (slower then the speed of sound), speeds. Nothing changes in your outside [...]
If am object traveling faster than the speed of sound makes a sonic boom then if an object could travel faster than light would it make an equivelent "sonic flash" ? And if so is there and where is there evidence to support this. There is a sound berrier at like I think around 600 [...]
Excluding dives, has a piston-powered aircraft ever broke the sound barrier under it’s own power?
I know propellers will stall out before reaching Mach 1, but how about a ducted fan?
From an earlier question, i was informed most of the power from a turbofan is produced from the fan. So therefore it should be possible [...]
I heard a rumor that the P-47 could break the sound barrier in a dive
I am only level one so i can’t rate your answers but i would like to thank all of you who took the time to provide an answer to my question
I love it, "normally", "not officially"… How ’bout NO! [...]
Supposedly the guy that jumped from a balloon from over a 100 thousand feet broke the sound barrier falling at about 1100 feet per second about 1960; how come sky divers do not come close to that rate of falling?
It was Capt Joseph Kittenger that jumped from a balloon at 102,800 feet in 1960. He [...]
