An aircraft that flies faster than Mach 1- or about 770 miles an hour at sea level.
An airplane that travels faster than sound is called a supersonic aircraft.
Supersonic.
Constructing a supersonic ship is more challenging than a supersonic airplane because ships have to deal with water resistance, which is much greater than air resistance faced by airplanes. This makes it harder to achieve and maintain supersonic speeds in water compared to air.
It affects drag and supersonic flight characteristics, which is why supersonic aircraft generally have long noses.
The element that is used in the making of supersonic airplane wings is titanium. Titanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and the atomic number 22.
SST stands for Supersonic Transport, a type of airplane.
It is going faster than the speed of sound.
A soviet airplane model number. It was the 1st supersonic transport aircraft.

If you are asking about the airplane, the Concorde was special because it was the only passenger plane that was supersonic.
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.
