Variable-Geometry Wings
Supersonic waves are used in supersonic flights. They are also used in body scanning and used to detect faults in metal.
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.

The Tupolev Tu-144 holds the title for the first supersonic passenger flight, ahead of the Concorde. However, the Tu-144 also holds the dubious distinction of being the first to end supersonic passenger service, lasting only 55 flights.
