Pony science Challenge: How mutch wingpower is needed for a Sonic Rainboom

[Julius]

Since she usually goes at around 16, if I remember correctly... I'll multiply that with the force of gravity pulling her down and add a bit of extra wing power since she'd be going faster than 16 with her fast flapping and... I...

Sleepy...

Sweet dreams everypony, I'll let you figure this one out (Even though I'm really interested in the subject of wings and flying, which of course includes this magnificent question). Good night! 

[Trixster]

My calculations
1WingPower = 19,5 MPH = 18,8 M/s (

)

Case 1:
(

&feature=player_embedded#!)
Sonic Rainboom = 1635.31 Meters Pr. Sec
Result: 86,9 Wing Power

Case 2:
(http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/04/physics-behind-sonic-rainboom.html)
Sonic Rainboom = 340 Meters Pr. Sec
Result: 18,1 Wing Power

In the episode "hurricane fluttershy" RD is measured to 16.5

well then one can wonder what is the right one... but mine is on case 2 as it seems Closest to the canon truth in velocity

[The Wandering Magus]

so is a sonic rainboom done at mach 1?  or faster?

[Julius]

That's impressive, I couldn't have done that myself (Not much of a physicist here).

I would have to go with case 2 as well. I did some calculations and, it seems to me that this is the right scenario.

so is a sonic rainboom done at mach 1?  or faster?

Seems like it's just around Mach 1 (According to google).

[The Wandering Magus]

total water-lifting ability measured in speed?  Seems an odd way to measure it.  And why would they call it "wing power"?

[Julius]

And why would they call it "wing power"?

Why not? 

[Trixster]

And why would they call it "wing power"?

Just so you could have something to ask about

[Julius]

Also, I personally like how it sounds... Wing Power. 

Think about it. Wing Force? Wing Speed? Flying Velocity? Aerial Movement Force (AMF)?

None of those sounds good to me.

[Trixster]

Indeed i think it was the best choise to call it wing power
then again... thing that they most likely held a meeting to determine the name.

[Julius]

Seems like it. I mean, it's only logical. If a name of something that involves every single Pegasus is to be determined, it's only fair they all took part in the choice.

[Trixster]

Indeed, im certain its also gonna be like that in here, if i know Travius right.
He listens to his group and will do his best to keep it running.

Yeah a sonic rainboom is essentially a sonic boom, except in Equestria some magical reactions happen so that there's a huge rainblowsion and a trail of rainbow follows you

Its an emp for electric devices and a magical surge for magically attuned unicorns

because "power" is already used as a term to describe a quantity equivalent to force multiplied by velocity, not simply velocity itself, and it is velocity alone which is being measured.  Given time, even Fluttershy can accelerate to a desired accelerative velocity; it's not only accelerative velocity which matters when attempting to create a vacuum effect to cause an antigravitational force on dihydrogen monoxide, one also needs to factor in many, many other aspects in order to be able to effectively calculate the ability for a single pegasus to lift a given amount of liquid of a certain temperature, pressure and volume, regardless of whether magic is being used or not.

[Trixster]

Well... i can only say one thing to this... I got wingpower of 0

[Julius]

Heh. I can say I have at least 6.3 Wingpower.

What do you mean I've no wings?

Well, I've gone Skydiving. That's close enough to having wings, for now. 

[Trixster]

Well I got lots of magic power...
i might not have full power since i dont have my horn, but i can still do magic!
