no, not necessarily. the reason that the sound appears to be coming from way behind the jet is because light travels faster than sound. think of a firework show, the sound always comes after the flash depending on how far away you are. since the jet is far away, by the time the sound reaches you, the jet is already way out ahead of the sound. this might help.

What else can I help you with?
What was the flight faster then speed called?
There was not a special name for the first flight that went faster than the speed of sound. However, when a plane does go faster than sound, it said to be traveling at supersonic speeds.
How many times faster than the speed of sound can you travel?
No real limit, up to the speed of light. The Apollo astronauts traveled at ABOUT 32 times the speed of sound on their trip to the moon. That is the fastest yet.
What is the name of the plane that goes faster than the sound of speed?
The first such plane was the experimental Bell X-1.
What happens when Concorde plane flies faster than speed of sound?
its simple the sound barrier is broken :D
Is it possible for humans to travels faster than the speed of sound?
Yes they can do that. But they need a ultrasonic plane.
What was the flight faster then speed called?
There was not a special name for the first flight that went faster than the speed of sound. However, when a plane does go faster than sound, it said to be traveling at supersonic speeds.
What happens when the plane goes faster the speed of sound?
You would hear the sound after the plane has passed.
What is the top speed of a concord plane?
The Concord's speed was 1,176. Faster than the speed of sound
Was Concorde the only commercial plane that could go faster than the speed of sound?
No, the Tupolev Tu-144 was the only other commercial plane to date to fly faster then the speed of sound.
What was the name of the plane that flu faster thet the speed of sound?
Concorde
What is the sound barrier?
The sound barrier is the point at which an object traveling through air reaches the speed of sound, where it meets increasing resistance, often resulting in a sonic boom. Breaking the sound barrier was a significant milestone in aviation history, showing the ability to fly faster than the speed of sound.
Does sound go faster than an airplane?
Only if it's traveling at less than the speed of sound
How many times faster than the speed of sound can you travel?
No real limit, up to the speed of light. The Apollo astronauts traveled at ABOUT 32 times the speed of sound on their trip to the moon. That is the fastest yet.
What was the first plane to fly faster than the speed of sound was?
The X-15
What was the name of the plane that can fly faster than the speed of sound?
ultra sonic !!
Why you see the fighter plane first but hear the plane later?
The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. This means that light waves, carrying visual information, will reach your eyes before sound waves reach your ears. This is why you see the fighter plane first before hearing it.
Does sound travels faster downwind than upwind?
Sound travels faster downwind. The speed at which sound travels is relative to the medium it is moving through. When sound is traveling upwind, you subtract the wind speed from the speed of sound. When it is traveling down wind you add the wind speed.
