There have been two already: the British-French Concorde, discontinued because it was an economic failure :

and
A Russian Tupolev144 ,shown briefly at Le Bourget airshow in Paris, where it crashed:

Thus yes, it is possible but Boeing Jumbo or Airbus A380 jets are a better business proposal.

What was the first living creature ever ejected from a supersonic aircraft?
A bear, in 1962. It was parachuted from 35,000 feet to a safe landing on earth.
An aircraft capable of flying 5 times faster than the speed of sound Mach 5?
Supersonic No. The fastest ever flown was mach 3.1 by the SR-71 Blackbird
Which was the first supersonic airliner?
The Tupolev Tu-144 (NATO reporting name: Charger) was the first supersonic transport aircraft (SST), constructed under the direction of the Soviet Tupolev design bureau headed by Alexei Tupolev. Some western observers nicknamed the plane Concordski (sometimes Konkordski), as the Tu-144 was very similar to Concorde. A prototype first flew on 31 December 1968 near Moscow, two months before Concorde. The Tu-144 first broke the sound barrier on 5 June 1969, and on 15 July 1969 it became the first commercial transport to exceed Mach 2, and the fastest commercial airliner ever.
What is the name of the first supersonic jetliner?
According to Wikipedia, the Tupolev Tu-144 (NATO reporting name: Charger) was the first supersonic transport aircraft (SST), constructed under the direction of the Soviet Tupolev design bureau headed by Alexei Tupolev (1925 - 2001). Western observers nicknamed the plane Concordski (sometimes Konkordski), sounding Russian yet still very close to the Concorde, to which the Tu-144 was visually similar. A prototype first flew on 31 December 1968 near Moscow, two months before Concorde. The Tu-144 first broke the sound barrier on 5 June 1969, and on 15 July 1969 it became the first commercial transport to exceed Mach 2, and the fastest commercial airliner ever.
Where can you find any commercial ever aired?
There is no place you can find every commercial ever aired.
How fast is a jet allowed to go?
As fast as it can. There are no speed limits in place for aircraft. However airlines limits speed for economic reasons. Also the way the engine is designed affects speed. The faster the engine is going, the hotter the engine will be. The turbines get the worst of this heat and if it gets to hot the turbine will fail. And the economic reason being the faster the aircraft, the more fuel you need. The Concorde was a supersonic aircraft. How ever it burned way to much fuel and that proved way to costly to operate the craft.
What is the first aircraft to visit Mercury?
Since aircraft do not, and in fact cannot, go into space then it should be obvious that no aircraft has ever been to Mercury, as yet.
Did Ray Charles ever have a license to fly an aircraft?
no
Has a navy aircraft carrier ever docked in Chicago?

What is the biggest sized engine to have ever been in an aircraft?
The biggest sized engine to have ever been in an aircraft is the GE90 series. Being the largest engine in aviation history, it was built by GE Aviation.
What does a supersonic mach break sound like?
The speed of sound is proportionally less and vary s according to altitude. when ever air craft exceeds the speed of sound it is defined as i mach. those air crafts capable of crossing sound speed is called supersonic.
Future enhancement for mobility management for global roaming in mobile networks?
Future enhancements are absolutly vital in maintaining a competative in a very crowded, ever changing mobile phone market. If you want precise details on what is in development then I cannot tell you for reasons of commercial-in-confidence.
