Extract

There has been much discussion of late on the nature of the noise from aircraft travelling with velocities greater than that of sound. It is possible that these phenomena can largely be explained in terms of the Doppler effect. For a source of sound travelling with a velocity greater than that of sound relative to the observer, the Doppler effect takes a very interesting form. It is discussed mathematically in Ref. 1.
