Supersonic air craft.
How can you tell if a jet is flying faster than the speed of sound?
wait for the sonic boom
What is an aircraft that flies faster than the speed of sound called?
The type of aircraft that flies faster than the speed of the sound are called SuperSonic aircraft.There are many supersonic aircrafts. Nowadays there are also HyperSonicaircrafts. The maximum speed recorded is Mach 9.6 (9.6 times faster than the speed of sound) by X-43A.
Is it possible for humans to travel faster then the speed of sound?
Man can travel, and has travelled, faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound is also known as the sound barrier, and when an aircraft "breaks" it you won't hear it until it has passed by you. " It was in the X-15 that Chuck Yeager was credited with being the first man to break the sound barrier in level flight on 14 October 1947" (Wikipedia).
Can you go back in time if you flew around the world in concord?
The Concord only broke the SOUND barrier, as do many aircraft still flying today, which has no effect on Time. To break a TIME barrier (in theory anyway) you have to travel faster than the speed of light.
A large bang caused by an aircraft flying at or faster than the speed of sound?
Sonic Boom
What is a mach number in aeroplanes?
The mach number is the speed of an aircraft, expressed as a fraction of the speed of sound in the atmospheric conditions in which the aircraft is flying. An aircraft flying at mach 1 is flying at the speed of sound.
Who flew the aircraft that went faster than the speed of sound?
Captain Charles Yeager, flew the aircraft that was faster than sound.
Why are fighter jets so loud?
They have incredibly powerful engines. Most fighter jets are capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. An airplane traveling faster than the speed of sound will be seen before it is heard.
What vehicle is faster than sound?
Currently there are no regular vehicles that are faster than the speed of sound, although both the Concorde, and its Russian copy were faster than the speed of sound. There are plenty of military aircraft that are faster than the speed of sound. All spacecraft capable of reaching orbit are faster than the speed of sound. There have been two or three experimental vehicles, "cars", that have gone faster than the speed of sound as well.
Can an airplane go faster than its sound?
Yes, there are several military aircraft that can go 2x, 3x or even 4x the speed of sound such as the SR-71 Blackbird.the area a lot of planes capable of that
What travels faster than a sound?
Supersonic aircraft.
What is super sonic aircraft?
Super sonic aircraft is aircraft that flies faster than the speed of sound.
What is the loud sound that is caused by the shock wave when a plane flies faster than the speed of sound?
The term is "sonic boom" and occurs when the aircraft is flying faster than sound. The same type of sound occurs with very-high-speed projectiles and also is heard as the "crack" of a bullwhip (as the tip exceeds the speed of sound).
The first pilot to fly an aircraft faster then the speed of sound?
Charles Yeager was the first person ever to pilot an aircraft beyond the speed of sound.
What was Charles Yeager flying when he beat the speed of sound?
He as flying the The Bell X-1, a rocket engine-powered aircraft.
What is the popular name of the shockwave that occurs when an aircraft flies faster than the speed of sound?
the sound barrier
