That depends on the jumbo jet. The Concord was capable of super-sonic speed, even though it was not considered to be a Jumbo Jet.
An L1011 or 747 cannot approach the speed of sound because of wing configuration. They are designed for economical air travel at sub-sonic speeds, and any attempts to approach the speed of sound would be disastrous. But if engineers designed a jumbo jet to travel at super-sonic speeds, it would be perfectly safe.

How can you tell if a jet is flying faster than the speed of sound?
wait for the sonic boom
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
Is there any object that is faster than sound?
Jet planes often fly faster than sound.
What is the shock wave called if a jet flies faster than the speed of sound?
The shock wave is called SONIC BOOM.
How fast is the speed of sound and is it possible foran object to go faster then the speed of sound?
The speed of sound varies a lot, depending on the material through which it passes, and (to a minor degree) the temperature. In air, the speed of sound is about 330 meters/second, but in solids, the speed of sound can be several times larger than that. And yes, it is possible for an object to go faster than the speed of sound. Certain jet plains do that regularly.
What is faster a fighter jet or sound?
A fighter jet can be faster than the speed of sound.
What type of jet travels faster than the speed of sound?
supersonic
Who broke the speed of sound in a jet?
We call them sonic booms. There are jets can fly faster than sound speed.
How f15 jet can go faster than sound?
Any modern jet fighter can go past the speed of sound.
Do you hear jets before you see them?
No, the speed of light ("seeing the jet") is massively faster than the speed of sound.. ("hear the jet")
How faster than sound is the f16 fighter jet?
It will fly approximately twice the speed of sound.
How can you tell if a jet is flying faster than the speed of sound?
wait for the sonic boom
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
Were to get sonic boom?
A sonic boom is caused by going faster than the speed of sound, so in a fast jet
Is there any object that is faster than sound?
Jet planes often fly faster than sound.
Why can the speed of sound not be broken?
It is not true that the speed of sound cannot be broken. In fact almost all fighter jet planes fly faster than the speed of sound.Its the speed of LIGHT that cannot be broken.
Charles elwood chuck yeager is the person who travels in a jet which is faster than speed of light is it true?
No. Yeager has travelled faster than sound, but no one has travelled faster than light yet
