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.

∙ 6y agoThere were two SST (SuperSonic Transport) planes that ran regular passenger services in the late 20th century.
- The British-French plane Concorde began flights in 1969. But noise restrictions and a fatal crash in 2000 eventually ended the use of the aircraft around 2003.
- The Soviet (Russian) plane was the Tupolev Tu-144, which began service in 1968 but was phased out in 1978 and used for cargo flights until 1983.

∙ 14y agoYes many planes can fly at the speed of the sound. Some can fly more than 3 times the speed of sound.

∙ 14y agoThe Concorde was the only commercial plane to go supersonic. The rest are mostly military jets.

∙ 13y agoSeveral airplanes have flown above the speed of sound. I think what you are looking for is "supersonic".

∙ 12y agoMany fighter planes exceed the speed of sound.
The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird for instance

∙ 12y agoyes we can travel faster then the speed of sound. We have actually traveled about 36 times the speed of sound in a manned vehicle, Apollo 10 capsule on re-entry to earth.

What do you break when you travel faster than the speed of sound?
The sound barrier
Do xrays travel at the speed of sound?
They travel much, much faster than that.
Can a sneeze travel faster than the speed of sound?
The speed of sound is faster then the amount of speed a sneeze can generate. The speed of sound travels 741mph while the information that is provided shows a sneeze can travel up to 100mph.
What is the answer to what is fatser than the speed of sound?
They are called ultra sonic. They travel faster than sound
What travels faster airplanes or speed of sound?
The speed of sound does not travel. In the event that an airplane's airspeed is below Mach-1, the speed of sound is faster than the speed of the airplane. On the occasion and at the moment when the true indicated airspeed of an airship or an airplane is in excess of Mach-1, the airplane is at that time traveling faster than the speed of sound.

What year did chuck fly faster than the speed of light?
He never did. But he was the first pilot to successfully travel faster than the speed of sound in 1947.

Can the starship Enterprise travel faster than the speed of sound?
Starship Enterprise is a ficticious starship. On the other hand, any interplanetary mission we use nowadays will travel faster than the speed of sound; otherwise it wouldn't be worth much.
What s faster then the speed of sound and light?
Speed of Light======================Answer #2:Many modern aircraft cruise at speeds greater than that of sound.The adjective used to describe such travel is "supersonic".
Can airplanes travel faster than sound?
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
Can the speed of sound travel faster than the speed of light?
No. Light in vacuum is roughly 880 thousand timesas fast as sound in air.
Why is it difficult to travel faster than the speed of sound?
It's really fast. 340mps is not slow buddy. Very few planes travel faster than that :D.
Why you see a distant event before you hear it?
Because the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound. Therefore, when the light from that event reaches your eyes, you see it. Then later, the sound from the event reaches your ears, and you hear it. Basically it's just because light travels faster than sound.
