Controls At Supersonic Speeds...

[paikea]

My friend's dad had said something about supersonic jets and mentioned that once you break the sound barrier, all the controls are backwards (right is left, up is down etc.) I've never heard this before after every single program or online research I've done on fighters and any supersonic aircraft. Can someone (preferrably an actual pilot or someone who's job is to know this) please tell me if this is true or not?

anyone??

no, the controls do not reverse.

your friend's dad probably got this bogus info from that movie about chuck yeager (i can't remember what it's called).
