This first-ever picture of supersonic shock waves interacting midflight needed perfect timing and nerveless flying.
The image: It captures the moment two supersonic jets break the sound barrier at the same time. The shock waves are caused by rapid pressure changes when a plane flies faster than the speed of sound.
It was captured in black and white but is shown here as a colorized composite.Right on time: The images relied on three aircraft all being in exactly the right place at the right time. NASA flew a Beechcraft Super…
