Great video just one question it might be a dumb question but what does the pilot hear while in the plane because they are in the object that is making the sonic boom.

[@OnTheShouldersofScience]

Good question! If the plane continues to make faster than sound, then no, the sound is behind them and will never catch up. If somehow the plane then slowed down very quickly after breaking the sound barrier, the sound would be able to reach them and they would hear the boom several seconds later
