Cool




I know that it is techically possible for this to happen.
I don't know whether this is a photoshop or not.

Hey Blob, can this be real?

I believe this effect is called the "Prandtl-Glauert Singularity", and occurs in aircraft at transonic speeds, (at near <> the speed of sound).
Superb photograph of the Tornado.

Hell I hope Pedro could write that without looking it up in a science handbook.

No expert but looks like it is breaking the sound barrier.
 
It doesn't even have to go that fast...just needs speed and high humidity.
 
I see much less dramatic versions of the Prandtl-Glauert condensation phenomenon when I'm on a commercial jet aircraft landing in a humid place (like Houston). But this picture is amazing.
