A crosswind is the component of wind that is blowing across the runway making landings and takeoffs more difficult than if the wind were blowing straight down the runway, sometimes abbreviated X/WIND
There are three standard procedures used for executing a safe landing in a cross wind situation. These landings are called the Crab, De-Crab and Sideslip techniques.
If the crosswind landing is not executed safely, the aircraft may experience wingstrike, where a wing hits the runway.

The F-18 Hornet produced by McDonnell Douglas, is a supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable multirole fighter jet, designed to dogfight and attack ground targets. In service of US Navy, US Marine Corps and armies of a couple of other countries. The F-18 jet is used also by U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels

Term supersonic is used to define a speed that is over the speed of sound (Mach 1), that is 343 m/s (1,125 ft/s, 768 mph or 1,236 km/h)
Most modern fighter aircraft are supersonic, but there have been supersonic passenger aircraft, namely Concorde and the Tupolev Tu-144. Both these passenger aircraft and some modern fighters are also capable of supercruise, a condition of sustained supersonic flight without the use of an afterburner.
A wave traveling through a bull whip is also capable of achieving supersonic speed.

Sonic boom is the sound associated with the shock waves created by the supersonic flight of an aircraft. Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding much like an explosion.
