With modern technology, there are many planes that can travel faster than the speed of sound, including many fighter planes and a few airliners.
Any aircraft that flies faster than 1 Mach is faster than the speed of sound.
Almost all modern day fighters travel at speeds in excess of the speed of sound. That includes the Russian MIGS from mig17 on, French Mirage, All US fighters.
The planes which can fly at the speed of sound are SR-71, Mig-25, F-16, F-18, F-22, Sukhoi Su-47 and many others.
