Supersonic speed is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds the speed of sound. At the beginning of 20th century, the term supersonic was used as an adjective to describe sound whose frequency is above the range of normal human hearing. Speeds greater than five times the speed of sound are often referred to as hypersonic.

Why aircraft that travel at supersonic speeds cannot be heard on the ground?
The properties of air flow at supersonic speeds is different than for subsonic speeds. So the design of the shape of the airplane and the inlets for the engines have to be different in order for it to fly at supersonic speeds.
How can you use Supersonic in a sentence?
At this rate, we will reach supersonic speeds within seconds.
What is supersonic and hypersonic?
Supersonic and hypersonic are speeds. Supersonic means faster than the speed of sound, and hypersonic means very much faster.
What can't the harrier do?
The Harrier can't fly supersonic in level flight or fly long distances.
Can eruptions eject debris and gases at supersonic speeds?
Yes, it is true!!!
Is air resistance fluid friction?
At sub-sonic speeds, air resistance is fluid friction. At supersonic speeds, it is not.
A sentence with the word supersonic?
The Supersonic Transport, or SST has been discontinued due to ongoing mechanical problems. Modern Air-force fighter jets are capable of traveling at supersonic speeds.
What is supersonic waves?
That's a sonic boom. Sound waves are never supersonic in themselves, objects can be supersonic ... which causes a pressure wave (which moves at "sonic" speeds) and which can be heard (firing a gun will do it).
What is supersonic sound waves?
That's a sonic boom. Sound waves are never supersonic in themselves, objects can be supersonic ... which causes a pressure wave (which moves at "sonic" speeds) and which can be heard (firing a gun will do it).
What is so special about sonic?
Sonic is a skilled fighter, and can run at supersonic speeds.
Do aircrafts fly at supersonic speeds at air shows?
if you're at a good show, they do.
What has the author J Leith Potter written?
J. Leith Potter has written: 'New experimental investigations of friction drag and boundary layer transition on bodies of revolution at supersonic speeds' 'Friction drag and transition Reynolds number on bodies of revolution at supersonic speeds'
