It’s supersonic! ?An advanced air-to-air photo technology test by @NASAAero produced the first-ever images of the interaction of shockwaves from two supersonic aircraft in flight.
This image features a pair of T-38s from the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, flying in formation at supersonic speeds — faster than the speed of sound. The T-38s are flying approximately 30 feet away from each other, with the trailing aircraft flying about 10 feet lower than the leading T-38. With exceptional clarity, the flow of the shock waves from both aircraft is seen, and for the first time, the interaction of the shocks can be seen in flight.
Originally monochromatic and shown here as a colorized composite, this image was captured during a supersonic flight series flown, in part, to better understand how shocks interact with aircraft plumes, as well as with each other.
The data from these flights will help us progress toward quiet supersonic research flights with the X-59’s Low-Boom Flight Demonstration and closer toward a major milestone in aviation.
