There was not a special name for the first flight that went faster than the speed of sound. However, when a plane does go faster than sound, it said to be traveling at supersonic speeds.
In faster-than-sound flight, a plane can experience a shockwave known as a sonic boom. This is caused when the plane reaches and exceeds the speed of sound, resulting in a sudden, loud noise like a thunderclap. It is a strange phenomenon that can be disruptive and alarming for those on the ground.
There are a number of claims concerning the first plane to fly faster than sound but some of these claims can not be verified or took place in circumstances which did not count as powered level flight. It is generally accepted that first flight faster than sound that could be officially documented was achieved by Chuck Yeager on October 14, 1947.
You would hear the sound after the plane has passed.
When a plane travels faster than the speed of sound, it creates a single sonic boom, which occurs when it breaks through the sound barrier. However, as the plane continues to fly at supersonic speeds, it can produce multiple sonic booms depending on its flight path and altitude. Each sonic boom is a result of shock waves generated by the aircraft, which merge into a single boom as the plane passes through the sound barrier.
No, the Tupolev Tu-144 was the only other commercial plane to date to fly faster then the speed of sound.
As an aircraft reaches the speed of sound, shock waves build up, creating increase in drag, loss of lift, and loss of control and a sonic explosion is heard.

Flight has a long I sound as in:I am a woman.My eye hurts. (sounds like long i sound)The plane landed on the island.
