Sound Barrier
This phenomena only happens at the instant an aircraft breaks the sound barrier and it literally looks like the aircraft goes through a wall. I hope you find these pictures interesting.

F16 Falcons are extremely capable combat aircraft. Able to withstand a 9G turn, it's likely the pilot will fail before the airframe does.
The first F16 took to the skies late in 1976, delivery to combat squadrons followed in Jan 1979. The Falcon was one of the first to use the now standard fly-by-wire control system whereby no direct mechanical link is provided, instead the pilot's controls comunicate with F16 's electronics which in turn move the aircraft's flying surfaces. This system allows for a sidemounted control stick instead of the conventional between the knees joystick that came as standard with combat planes since the beginning. Far from being a gimmick this allows the pilot better control during the high-G manouvers the plane can fly. Just think what your arm would feel like 9 times heavier that it is now!
Combat radius is in excess of 500 miles for Falcons, and being an all weather multi-role fighter it can hit both ground and air targets under virtually all conditions even zero visibility.
To simplify and cut the cost of development and production of the Falcon, some existing and proven systems from other USAF aircraft were adapted for it's use. Parts used in the earlier F15 Eagle and the old swing wing F111 fighter bomber found a home in the aircraft.
Unusually for an American operational warplane the F16 Falcon has a single engine instead of two. While cutting the cost of the aircraft and also maintainance time it does always increase the chance of a 'dead stick landing', where an Eagle or Hornet etc could usually be able to limp home on their remaining engine. It's a fact though that the F16 has proven reliable in the field.
Production and operation of F16's is not limited to the USA. A consortium of European countries both help build the aircraft and fly them in their squadrons. Countries include Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands and Norway. Israel and Portugal also operate the plane.
F16 Falcons have seen action in the Gulf war where they were the most widely used plane, and also more recently over the former Yugoslavia.

One of today's commercial planes is the 737. The 737-900 is the newest one and most used today. This plane can seat 177 to 189 passengers and travel a maximum of 3,140 miles. The wing span is 112 feet 7 inches. The length is 138 ft 2 in. The 900’s height is 41 ft 2 in. The standard take off weight is 166,000 lbs. and with options it is 174,200 lbs. It uses the CFM56-7B engine. The 900's maximum fuel capacity is 6,875 gals. The 737-900 flies to many cities. Some are Boston, Singapore, Brussels, Sydney, Jeddah, and Denver. It goes to many other cities throughout the world also.
The India-based carrier currently operates a fleet of 43 Boeing Classic and Next-Generation 737-400/-700/-800/-900 airplanes. The airline has one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the world.
The airplane, a Jet Airways 737-800, has 7-inch video monitors mounted in the back of every seat in economy class and 9-inch video monitors mounted in the seat arms in business class. The system offers passengers audio and video on-demand movies, games and in-fight information.
"Our goal is to help our customers continue to succeed by providing technologies that add value to their operations and make flying more enjoyable for passengers," said Mark Jenkins, vice president and general manager of 737 Airplane Production.
To date three customers have ordered the in-seat video system option, which is manufactured by Panasonic and Thales.
In addition to the Panasonic eFx in-seat video system, the Jet Airways 737-800 also is equipped with 110-VAC power outlets throughout the cabin and gooseneck personal reading lights in business class.
"Jet Airways strives to provide service of the highest standard to our customers, both while on the ground and in flight," said Naresh Goyal, chairman of Jet Airways. "We are especially proud to be the first 737 operator both in India and the world to offer this service to its customers. We strongly believe that we are bringing innovative ideas and setting new standards in commercial aviation."
The Next-Generation 737 airplane family is the most technologically advanced single-aisle jet family on the market today. Known for its versatility, reliability, fuel efficiency and economical performance, the Next-Generation 737 models have been selected by leading full-service airlines and low-cost carriers throughout the world, and continue to be the company's best-selling airplane model.
Boeing 747
Another important commercial plane is the 747. The most powerful and newest one is the 747-400. Today the 747-400 carries more people and can fly farther than any other commercial plane. It can fly 420 passengers up to about about 8,300 miles. The 400 is a dual (two) pilot plane. The 747 has two levels. It is run by some of the most efficient engines and has great fuel efficiency. The 747 goes to many international jetports throughout the world.
Boeing 777
The 777 is another major commercial plane. It is one of the newest commercial planes. The purpose of the 777 was to help even out the sizes of the other commercial planes, like the 747 and the 737. The 777 is a twin-jet plane. The two major 777’s are the 777-200 and the 777-300. The 300 is the newest version. The 777’s can seat 305 to 328 passengers. it can also fly up to 5,680 miles. It was first delivered in May 1995. In 1998 a stretched version of the 777-300 is going to Hong Kong. It will be able to fly 368 to 394 passengers up to 6,200 miles. A new version of the 777-200 called the 777-200IGW was delivered in February 1997. It is able to carry the same number of passengers as the original 200, but can fly them up to 8,320 miles.
