How fast can a supersonic plane fly?
The threshold for supersonic speed is 761 mph in a temperature like 70 degrees. Supersonic speed is any speed greater than the speed of sound (mach 1) and a speed five times the speed of sound (mach 5?) is referred to as hypersonic speed.
What is the difference between hypersonic supersonic planes?
A supersonic plane is one that is flying faster than the speed of sound, or Mach 1. A hypersonic plane flies at a speed of Mach 5, so is much faster than a supersonic plane. Mach numbers are used for speeds greater than the speed of sound.
Supersonic jets can travel faster than the speed of sound this is called Mach 1?
Close! Actually, Mach-1 is the speed of sound. anything above Mach-1 (Mach-(1-5)) is supersonic, all the way up to Mach-5, at which point an object is called "Hypersonic". Sometimes speeds above Mach-10 are referred to as "High-Hypersonic". So, a jet moving at Mach-1 wouldn't actually be traveling FASTER than sound, it would be traveling AS FAST as sound.
Does mach 0.5 correspond to supersonic speed?
One half the speed of sound. This is subsonic.
What is the word 5 times the speed of sound?
The word for 5 times the speed of sound is "supersonic."
What is one supersonic aircraft?
One supersonic aircraft is the F-15 Eagle. -Supersonic means it can fly faster than Mach 1, the speed of sound. Most fighter jets today are supersonic, in fact many fly more than twice the speed of sound.
Does a supersonic jet travel faster than sound?
Yes, a supersonic jet travels faster than the speed of sound, which is approximately 767 miles per hour at sea level. Supersonic jets can reach speeds up to Mach 2 or more, which is twice the speed of sound.
How fast does a supersonic plane go?
A supersonic plane travels faster than the speed of sound, which is approximately 343 meters per second (1,125 feet per second) at sea level and standard atmospheric conditions. Supersonic speeds typically range from Mach 1 (the speed of sound) to Mach 5, with many military jets and experimental aircraft exceeding these speeds. For example, the Concorde, a commercial supersonic airliner, cruised at around Mach 2.04, or about 1,354 miles per hour (2,180 kilometers per hour).
Some aircraft can fly faster than the speed of sound what is such speed called?
They are called Supersonic aircraft. Some aircraft can only do that. Some planes have reached even Hypersonic speeds.
What is the unit of the supersonic transit?
a mach
Which aeroplain travels faster than sound?
The Concorde was a commercial supersonic jet that traveled faster than the speed of sound. It had a top speed of around Mach 2, which is about 1,354 miles per hour.
How many miles per hour can supersonic fly?
Mach refers to the speed of sound in air. Typically about 750 mi/hr but it varies faster or slower with temperature from cold to hot respectively. Mach one is one times speed of sound. Mach 3 would be three times speed of sound.
