Piece Description

Last time on A Moment of Science we looked at how sonic booms are created by planes flying at supersonic speeds.  This time we'll look at how the size and altitude of a plane influence the intensity and duration of the sonic boom.  The sonic boom is a direct result of a change in the air-flow pattern around a plane's edges. . .
