Can a jet fighter fire its canons while flying faster than the speed of sound?

yes u can but if you are going fast enough you can catch up to your bullets

How can you tell if a jet is flying faster than the speed of sound?
wait for the sonic boom
Is light faster than sound or sound is faster than light?
Light is faster than sound
Has any one gone faster than the speed of sound?
Plenty of people have gone faster than the speed of sound by now. All astrounauts, most fighter pilots, all passengers who ever flew on the Concorde. One guy jumping from a balloon. One or two drivers of jet/rocket cars.
An aircraft capable of flying 5 times faster than the speed of sound Mach 5?
Supersonic No. The fastest ever flown was mach 3.1 by the SR-71 Blackbird
Can you travel faster than the speed of sound?
Yes, many but mostly military. The Concorde passenger plane even flew above the speed of sound. Chuck Yeager is the first person credited with flying faster than the speed of sound in 1947. A few kinds of airplanes travel faster than sound, such as the Concorde SST and supersonic fighter jets.
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 is faster a fighter jet or sound?
A fighter jet can be faster than the speed of sound.
How faster than sound is the f16 fighter jet?
It will fly approximately twice the speed of sound.
Have people ever traveld at the speed of sound?
Yes, often. Fighter jets go faster than sound.
How f15 jet can go faster than sound?
Any modern jet fighter can go past the speed of sound.
Why you see the fighter plane first but hear the plane later?
Because it is travelling faster than the speed of sound, the sound comes later. However, if a fighter plane was slower than the speed of sound, you'd see the plane first.
How can you tell if a jet is flying faster than the speed of sound?

How do fighter pilots communicate when they break the speed of sound?
Fighter pilots don't use sound to communicate, they use radios, and radio waves travel far faster than any plane to date, so there is no trouble communicating.
A large bang caused by an aircraft flying at or faster than the speed of sound?
Sonic Boom
Two planes are flying at the speed of sound Plane X is flying at an altitude of 6000 feet and plane Y is flying at an altitude of 15000 feet which is flying faster?
As altitude increases (to about 35,000 ft) air density, pressure and temperature all drop. As density decreases speed of sound increases, but with drop in pressure it drops; these two practically cancel each other out. As temperature drops, speed of sound drops. Thus at 15,000 ft the speed of sound is slower than at 6,000 ft so plane X is flying faster than plane Y.
What plane travels faster than sound?
Supersonic planes travel faster than sound. There are a lot of them. Most modern fighter jets can do it, and there have even been commercial planes that could (eg Concorde, Tu-144).
Stealth fighter jet speed?
While the question doesn't explicity state which stealth fighter, it's reasonable to assume that all modern day fighter jets have Mach capabilities. This means they are faster than the speed of sound.
