I thought that the sonic boom was behind the plane, since it breaks true the sound..., i dont think it's gonna effect it at all.
I must agree on the FPV part, sounds a lot more practical, if we set up a fpv whit 10km range, than we have a good 20km to accelerate on.
That would be cool...take a regular balsa high wing trainer like the Sig LT-40 or Seniorita and see how fast it can go before the wings rip off!!!
The waves build up on the leading edge and can cause all sorts of problems with the control surfaces. Worse than flutter

Crazy flyer/crasher :D
On a plane passing through you actually have two "sounds" which are very close together.
The first one is when the tip of the plane passes through the sound barrier and that is when you see the white "air" in front of the plane and then a second time at the end of the plane! Here is good video I just found discribing it! Btw. I just watched it after I wrote the text and I was right with the two sonic booms
When I was a kid F-4 Phantoms would fly over our house just above tree level. We lived near the Atlantic Ocean in Delaware. Every now and then, we'd hear a sonic boom from over the ocean. I LOVED it!

Just pointing out, i'm still not satisfied, other than that, great job on the video! you guys should get more inspired by that Scandinavian !

Oh to have a flight of F-4s go overhead at low altitude. Modern fighters are awesome, maneuverable and just fantastic but those F-4's made sound you wouldn't believe. They would rumble you off your feet, which was pretty funny because you could talk up to and past when they went by. I told my wife once as they were going by "Cover your ears". She didn't get "Why?" out. Bout a month later we were at another airshow when a flight of F-4's came by demo'ing with the air refueling wing at Forbes, I saw the jets coming, looked at her and she already had her ears covered.
She just married a dummy. She ain't no....

The national guard used to fly F-4s directly over my house in southern Delaware when I was a kid. They were LOW and the house is surrounded by woods. It so cool because I'd see them almost directly overhead before I heard them. Then......
That is how the Swept Wing Bombers are that fly near here. The plane is about 40 degrees leading its own sound wake. One of the 2 entry vector paths for the Lancer MOA is less than 3 miles West of me. The Lancer MOA is 20 miles south of me.
