1. The more the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound, the smaller the value of $AD$, T.e. $v \sim 1/AD$.
</p>
<p>
2. If the aeroplane is travelling at sonic speed $v = s$, then $AD = AB = L$, in which case triangle
$ADB$ is equilateral, or
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
$$v = c \frac{AB}{AD} = c \frac{L}{AD} \; (1)$$
</p>
<p>
3. Let's define the elements of the triangle $ADB$
