The Forward boom state was 5.9 feet (1.8 m) long and had the smallest diameter of the three, while the Mid-Boom State was 4.3 feet (1.3 m) long and the second largest in diameter. [3] The spike, made of composite materials , creates three small shock waves that travel parallel to each other all the way to the ground, producing less noise than ...
The boom was heard Sunday after the U.S. military dispatched six fighter jets to intercept an unresponsive business plane flying over restricted airspace. The Air Force gave the F-16s permission ...

The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is an American twin-engine, all-weather fighter aircraft designed by McDonnell Douglas (now part of Boeing).Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force (USAF) selected McDonnell Douglas's design in 1969 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter.
This F-5E was modified by NASA for a constant area beyond drag optimum to reduce the sonic boom. The NASA Shaped Sonic Boom Demonstration, also known as the Shaped Sonic Boom Experiment, was a two-year program that used a Northrop F-5E with a modified fuselage to demonstrate that the aircraft's shock wave, and accompanying sonic boom, can be shaped, and thereby reduced.
A sonic boom, a baffling plane crash and a family destroyed: Inside the Virginia tragedy that sparked a F-16 response. Joe Sommerlad. June 7, 2023 at 4:05 AM (Facebook/AP)
The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15E Strike Eagle is an American all-weather multirole strike fighter [5] derived from the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle.Intended for the Dual-Role Fighter (DRF) program (initially called Enhanced Tactical Fighter), the F-15E was designed in the 1980s for long-range, high-speed interdiction without relying on escort or electronic-warfare aircraft.
