Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium?

I don’t know how this works, but wouldn’t the exhaust of the jet be moving at or slower than the speed of sound relative to the other particles in the exhaust. Sure, compared to other particles it’s moving faster, but that doesn’t really matter if we’re only looking at the exhaust. It’s not doing anything differently, though the exhaust and outside particles will have to interact at the boundary.
