Why does a length of Concorde plane increases during flight?
As the Concorde flies along at high speeds, the friction between the air and the surface of the plane heats it up. As it heats up, the surface expands - and the plane gets a little bit longer.
What is the sound when a plane flies faster than the speed of light?
As soon as the plane speeds up to go faster than sound, it may generate a 'sonic boom', which continues to sweep over the ground wherever the plane flies. Faster than that, there's no particular magic speed at which anything new suddenly magically happens. No aircraft, balloon, rocket ship, bullet, or anything else can fly faster than the speed of light.
Is the Concorde the fastest passenger plane?
simple answer, yes
What strange thing happens to the Concorde when it goes faster than the speed of sound?
Sound waves are like ripples in a pond that radiate around the object. An aeroplane travelling at sub-sonic speed will be travelling behind the sound that it has emitted. When the aeroplane reaches the exact speed of sound, the sound it is producing will accompany it on its journey.
If a pilot flies an airplane eastbound into a jet stream what will she experience?
A jet stream is a region of strong winds high in the atmosphere where planes fly. If she flies a plane into this region, the plane will be accelerated. This will allow her to either fly faster, or fly at the same speed using less fuel.

What passenger jet flies faster than the speed of sound?
There are none as of 2017. The only two plane types are now decommissioned. The British-French plane Concorde (20 built) flew from 1969 to 2003. The Soviet/Russian plane Tu-144 (16 built) flew from 1968 to 1978 and for cargo until 1983.
