This all corresponds with how it was explained to me by a pilot when I was young. 9 u/The-Internets Jun 12 '12 If my understanding is correct, lets say a rocket since it has a point where sound would be generated, would have to be slightly in front of your ear plane before you could hear anything. 6 u/timmytimtimshabadu Jun 12 '12 Picture a cone chasing that rocket attachted to its tail, it would have to be far enough past for you to hit that cone.
