Typhoon fighter jet creates sonic boom across the region

A sonic boom has been heard over various parts of the region after a typhoon jet flew over Leeds-Bradford airport.

A sonic boom is the sound associated with the shock waves created by an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound. Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding much like an explosion.

An unofficial twitter account which monitors activity at RAF Coningsby says it believes the bangs were caused by typhoon jets.
