Is it possible currently or theoretically to build a supersonic fighter jet from non-metallic composites?

Currently it's not entirely possible, although wings and a lot of the overall structure is already made of composites.
It is theoretically possible to build an entire craft w/o metal, but it is quite unlikely that it would happen.
Some parts are more beneficial than others to build out of composites, and some parts are outright difficult to build out of composites.
And believe it or not, but the military is actually concerned with cost. If metal is the obvious choice from engineering reasons, they wouldn't want to pay extra to get the part made from composites just because.

What is supersonic transit?
Supersonic Transportation is commercial flight by means of a supersonic vehicle. The Concorde was probably the most famous super sonic jet in history and flew commercial flights across the Atlantic. Its final flight was on November 26, 2003. Currently, there are no Super Sonic Transportation services available to the public.
Is chess in the olypmics?
No, but it is recognised as an olympic sport. The IOC acknowledges chess, so it could theoretically be allowed in to the olympics in the future, but it does not currently feature.
Who is Pokemon 0?
If there are Pokemon currently in exsistance, then there cannot be a 0 if there is already a 1,2,3 etc... But in the Pokemon universe theoretically Arceus is. It Created the universe.
How long can humans currently live on the moon?
Theoretically, with adequate supplies from Earth or grown onsite, humans could live on the moon indefinitely. Currently, though, there is no infrastructure for building or maintaining a moon colony so, technically, the answer is zero, though that may change soon.
What is present in core of a black hole?
Theoretically and mathematically(because it's impossible to physically measure), it would be infinitely dense and infinitely small. Sounds impossible but it's what we(scientific community) are guessing is currently true. What you want to know is termed a singularity and that is how they're currently defined.
What is the name of the aircraft that is a commercial aircraft and flies double the speed of sound?
You are propably looking for the Concorde or the Tupolev Tu-14. It should be noted, however, that none of these aircraft are in service today. Further, there are currently no supersonic aircraft in commercial service.
What is the second tv called?
The largest TV currently sold is the second biggest. The one currently in development is larger than that. The current largest consumer TV (not commercial display, as these are theoretically scalable to any size image) as of July 2012 is the 92" Mitsubishi DLP television. Sharp currently offers a 90" LED LCD TV for about $11,000.
Did Sunita Williams take the pictures from space of the earth in light darkness that is currently circulating?
If the pictures this question refers to are the day/night shots, the answer is no. These are satellite pictures but most of them have been enhanced and some of them are composites. As far as exhaustive investigation goes, Sunita Williams took none of these.
What has been moderised in the lacrosse stick?
The modern lacrosse stick has constantly evolved over the previous few decades. Currently, most heads are made of soft plastic with different amounts of flexibility. Shafts are made of many materials and composites, including zirconium, titanium, and aluminum.
Is grass knot good against Groudon?
Theoretically yes, since Groudon weighs the most out of any Pokemon in all of the currently games, and since the move Grass Knot's damage is affected by how much the pokemon weighs, then yes.
How fast do transatlantic airliners travel?
Most jet airliners currently used in transatlantic service have maximum speeds of approximately 568 mph, and are typically operated at cruising speeds of 530 to 540 mph. The supersonic Concorde airliner, used from 1976 to 2003, had a cruising speed of 1330 mph.
Is it possible to ride jet skis from Palm Beach Florida to the Bahamas?
It would be theoretically possible with enough gasoline. There are no natural barriers between the two, however, there are no jetskis currently on the market which could actually make the trip without refueling several times.
