the SSTcreatesa cone - shaped shock wave , called a Mach cone , that travels with the bow of the aircraft at supersonic speeds , and moves away from the sides of the cone at the speed of sound

the wings , which joined at their tipscould createegregious amounts of drag when transitioning to supersonic speeds
The gas releasedcreateda sonic boom and vapor cloud similar to a jet flying supersonic speeds
The jet , known as the A2 , uses two kinds of enginesto createefficient thrust at sub- and supersonic speeds ( up to Mach 5
