Question

An airplane approaches at an altitude of 10 km flying at 600 km/hr.

1. What would you hear, and when would you hear it, if the plane were "hypersonic", traveling three times the speed of sound, or "Mach 3"?  That's approximately the fastest military aircraft in routine service today.

note: To have higher speeds in the air takes considerably more energy.  For example, after two and half minutes of flight,  when the first-stage main engines of the Space X Falcon shut down,  it is 80 kilometers high and moving at Mach 10 on its way to Earth orbit. The Mach number depends on the temperature of the air.
