It's a bird! It's a plane! It's this week's topic! Supersonic speed.

• Can we PLEASE give our good friend Joe Batwinis some love for that fantastic Adamsesque style intro? Please find him @Batwinis and please enjoy him at the brachiolope media network on Science... Sort Of with our other contributors for the series so far, Ben & Ryan!
• As with so many of these topics, a useful animation says so much more than we can. Please see this graphic showing us how outrunning your own soundwaves can cause a sonic boom.
• Finally, remember this? Way Cool.
