I was just wondering if anyone knew if there was any difference between an explosive decompression at sub-sonic speeds and an explosive decompression at supersonic speeds. Apart from the altitude difference (as supersonic aircraft fly higher than sub-sonic aircraft) would there be any real difference caused by travelling faster than the speed of sound?
