A question about concorde
I was asked this question by a friend and couldn't give an answer so I put it to the members of pprune
Concorde is capable of traveling faster than a bullet so, if someone was to stand at the back of a plane while traveling at the speed of sound and shot a bullet what would happen? Would it... shoot though the front of the plane or shoot through the back as the plane (which is travelling faster) overtakes the bullet |
It would make a hole in the cockpit door and possibly break something... (relative motion - to an outside observer, the effective velocity of the bullet is the velocity of the aircraft plus the velocity of bullet as it leaves the muzzle).
A more interesting question is how the gun got there in the first place... don't they make Concorde pax pass through metal detectors? :) |
If you stand in the isle of a plane and jump up in the air does the plane go wizzing out from underneath you and you get hit by the rear bulk heads. Same thing as the gun.
I think NOT! Trust me I tried it once hehehe :p :D :p :D :p :D :p :D |
