It over stresses and would eventually break apart if it got fast enough. The equation for lift is lift= density of air * surface area of the wing* velocity^2. Lift is a force and all objects can only take a limited amount of force before they deform and weaken/fail.
If you look at the equation above, the speed of the aircraft has the biggest effect on the amount of lift. If you go too fast for the aircraft the wings will eventually have too much force on them that the joints that hold them to the body would fail causing the wings to fall off removing two of the most important components of flight. Lift and thrust resulting in the aircraft to fall out the sky. This will never be an issue on any airliner with the strict rules and regulations in-place to ensure this never occurs.
It depends on the type of aircraft and you might say the period of time it was built. During WW2, propellor aircraft could reach the speed of sound in a dive. Some aircraft would shake violently as the wings went through buffet as they were not designed for super-sonic flight. Also the propellor blade tips would vibrate and sometimes would lead to failure of the blade or engine mount. Most early jets would also buffet when it when through the sound barrier. Another possibility is that a part will break away due to buffet. This could be a flight control or a wing tip.

What is something that goes by fast?
life goes by too fast
What happens when the heart beats too fast?
When the heart beats too fast, blood no longer circulates effectively in the body.
How do you stop a plane in the air?
You can't stop in the air. If the plane goes too slowly, it loses the air friction that is holding it up, and it falls. You have to be on the ground to stop the plane.

Race car
What happens when a airplane is too high?
the engines won't get enough power and oxygen if you are too high, and the plane might stall since it will lose speed.
Can a plane fly too fast?
Yes it can. If you are going to fast suck as diving at beyond the max speed for that aircraft it will overstress and most likely begin to tear itself apart.

If lava cools too fast, whether it is mafic, felsic, or intermediate crystals fail to develop and volcanic glass forms.
