So do any blades on engines ever create sonic booms as they rotate at high speed? If so what happens to that?

Ghost,
How do you calculate that?

Does that mean that you would see the plane 30 mins before you heard the boom?

what is scary is a tornado at 500 feet doing 500 mph right on top of you!

Please excuse my ignorance on this matter but hear me out.
You state that at Mach 2 by the time you hear the boom the plane will be 761 miles away.
Now as far as I am aware Mach 2 is 1522 miles an hour at sealevel. Therefore for the plane to be 761 miles away it will have been travelling for 30 mins at mach 2
All this is assuming the plane goes overhead.

Having spoken to a jet pilot on this topic he claims that you are incorrect.
I have asked him to provide me with some proof to this and I will get back to you when I do.
