The type of aircraft that flies faster than the speed of the sound are called SuperSonic aircraft.There are many supersonic aircrafts. Nowadays there are also HyperSonicaircrafts. The maximum speed recorded is Mach 9.6 (9.6 times faster than the speed of sound) by X-43A.

An aircraft that flies faster than the speed of sound is said to be?
Supersonic air craft.
What is the shock wave called if a jet flies faster than the speed of sound?
The shock wave is called SONIC BOOM.
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.
What is the name of the passenger that flies faster than the speed of sound?
the Concord

What is the popular name of the shockwave that occurs when an aircraft flies faster than the speed of sound?

An aircraft that flies faster than the speed of sound is said to be?

How often does a sonic boom occur?
It depends on how often the aircraft flies faster then sound. LOL
Who flew the aircraft that went faster than the speed of sound?
Captain Charles Yeager, flew the aircraft that was faster than sound.
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 strange thing happens to the Concorde when it flies faster than sound?
When the Concorde flies faster than sound, it experiences a shockwave known as a sonic boom. This causes a loud and distinctive noise to be heard on the ground as the aircraft passes overhead. The sonic boom is caused by the rapid displacement of air molecules as the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound.
What travels faster than a sound?
Supersonic aircraft.
Is the aeroplane Conrade faster than sound?
No, but the CONCORDE flies faster than sound
What is the loud sound that is caused by the shock wave when a plane flies faster than the speed of sound?
The term is "sonic boom" and occurs when the aircraft is flying faster than sound. The same type of sound occurs with very-high-speed projectiles and also is heard as the "crack" of a bullwhip (as the tip exceeds the speed of sound).
What is the shock wave called if a jet flies faster than the speed of sound?
The shock wave is called SONIC BOOM.
The first pilot to fly an aircraft faster then the speed of sound?
Charles Yeager was the first person ever to pilot an aircraft beyond the speed of sound.
