- jcampbell1 4y agoThat plane didn’t go supersonic. It is impossible for a propeller driven aircraft to go supersonic.
- Danieru 4y agoTo save others the click: that plane never reached super sonic. What makes the turboprop itself supersonic is the blades are traveling super sonic. Normal turboprops are limited by keeping their blade tips below super sonic to prevent booms and vibration. It is not special to go super sonic at the blade tips, this experimental plane only served to confirm that. So it is correct to say no turboprop plane has ever gone super sonic and the idea that boom is turboprop powered is wrong on its face.
