A supersonic plane travels faster than the speed of sound, which is approximately 343 meters per second (1,125 feet per second) at sea level and standard atmospheric conditions. Supersonic speeds typically range from Mach 1 (the speed of sound) to Mach 5, with many military jets and experimental aircraft exceeding these speeds. For example, the Concorde, a commercial supersonic airliner, cruised at around Mach 2.04, or about 1,354 miles per hour (2,180 kilometers per hour).

My bird can fly faster than any supersonic plan how can this be?

Take the bird onto a supersonic plane and, while the plane is in flight, have the bird fly around inside the plane.

How fast can you go around the world with the supersonic car?

Not possible without traveling over water.


How fast can a supersonic plane fly?

The threshold for supersonic speed is 761 mph in a temperature like 70 degrees. Supersonic speed is any speed greater than the speed of sound (mach 1) and a speed five times the speed of sound (mach 5?) is referred to as hypersonic speed.


What is a plane that flies very fast?

A plane that flies very fast is typically a supersonic aircraft, such as the Concorde or the Boeing X-43. Supersonic jets can exceed the speed of sound, traveling at speeds greater than 1,125 feet per second (Mach 1). The Concorde, for example, could cruise at speeds of around Mach 2, allowing it to significantly reduce travel time on transatlantic flights. Advances in technology are also leading to the development of new supersonic and hypersonic aircraft capable of even greater speeds.

What is the difference between hypersonic supersonic planes?

A supersonic plane is one that is flying faster than the speed of sound, or Mach 1. A hypersonic plane flies at a speed of Mach 5, so is much faster than a supersonic plane. Mach numbers are used for speeds greater than the speed of sound.

Why does a supersonic plane disappear when you hear its sound?

When a supersonic plane goes faster than the speed of sound, it creates a shockwave causing a sonic boom. The sound you hear after the plane has passed is the shockwave catching up to the aircraft. This can create the illusion that the plane has disappeared along with the sound.
