Sure we all love to hear the ‘boom’ when a jet breaks the sound barrier but how much do you really know about the subject? What exactly is the ‘barrier’ jets have to pass through and how was it discovered? What is Mach one and where did the name come from?
Answer these and more interesting questions by watching this three-minute video explaining everything you need to know about breaking Mach and supersonic flight! Yes, there will be a test after so take notes!
