Difference between Speed of sound and Supersonic aircraft

Speed of sound vs. Supersonic aircraft

The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium. A supersonic aircraft is an aircraft able to fly faster than the speed of sound (Mach number 1).

Similarities between Speed of sound and Supersonic aircraft

Speed of sound and Supersonic aircraft have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bell X-1, Mach number, NASA X-43, Sonic boom, Sound, Sound barrier, Supersonic speed.

Bell X-1

The Bell X-1 was a rocket engine–powered aircraft, designated originally as the XS-1, and was a joint National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics–U.S. Army Air Forces–U.S. Air Force supersonic research project built by Bell Aircraft.

Mach number

In fluid dynamics, the Mach number (M or Ma) is a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound.

NASA X-43

The X-43 was an experimental unmanned hypersonic aircraft with multiple planned scale variations meant to test various aspects of hypersonic flight.

Sonic boom

A sonic boom is the sound associated with the shock waves created whenever an object traveling through the air travels faster than the speed of sound.

Sound

In physics, sound is a vibration that typically propagates as an audible wave of pressure, through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid.

Sound barrier

The sound barrier or sonic barrier is a popular term for the sudden increase in aerodynamic drag and other effects experienced by an aircraft or other object when it approaches supersonic speed.

Supersonic speed

Supersonic travel is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1).

Speed of sound and Supersonic aircraft Comparison

Speed of sound has 128 relations, while Supersonic aircraft has 216. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 2.03% = 7 / (128 + 216).
