Ahmed Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hello, I noticed that in some situations the sonic boom effect was triggered at abnormally low mach numbers. I did some investigation and found that it seems to be wrongly tied to ground speed instead of relative speed with the fluid (air). I attach a track with 97kt wind aloft 1) If flying with a tailwind at Mach 0.9 -> sonic boom wrongly triggered 2) If flying with a headwind at Mach 0.9 -> no sonic boom p.s. The 97kt limit on wind speeds aloft also seems a little bit arbitrary. Winds aloft in real life usually exceed 100kt and sometimes can exceed 200kt.
