Supersonic aircraft can achieve speeds greater than the speed of sound due to their streamlined designs and the relatively lower resistance of air compared to water. In contrast, supersonic ships face significant challenges, including immense hydrodynamic drag and shock waves created in water, which can lead to instability and structural integrity issues. Additionally, the energy required to overcome these forces in water is much greater, making it less feasible for ships to achieve and maintain supersonic speeds. Consequently, engineering solutions for supersonic ships remain complex and largely untested.
What else can I help you with?
Why have we been able to build supersonic aircraft but not supersonic ships?
Because water has a greater resistance than air, so a boat would need to be incredibly powerful to go supersonic, beyond the limits of current technology. The current water speed record is 'only' 345mph.
Why have you been able to create supersonic aircraft but not supersonic ships?
Becuast it's almost impossible to achive that speed in water because it's much denser than air. I assume your talking about water ships and not space ships.

Who has the most powerful ship?
The answer is the US Navy. The ships are aircraft carriers. They build them right here in Virginia.
Did the us navy build ships that were made from a metal the burned easy?
No, they did not build ships from substandard materials. There are ships made with light weight metals such as aluminum and fiberglass that are lower burn temperatures. And the metals on some aircraft were more volatile, but not dangerously so.
Did the Kriegsmarine use Italian aircraft and ships in the battle of the Atlantic?
Aircraft yes. Ships no.
How many fighter aircraft does the US Navy have?
The Air Force has Aircraft not Ships. The Navy has Ships.
Are navy ships military ships?
Of course, navy aircraft are military aircraft.
What was the Pearl Harbor used for?
Pearl Harbor is naval base on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaii build in 1911. It docks for ships and aircraft carriers.
Why is it more challenging to construct a supersonic ship compared to a supersonic airplane?
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.
Ships that transport aircraft and accommodate take-offs and landings?
aircraft carriers
Is a group of ships the same as a group of aircrafts?
You have a FLEET of ships, SQUADRON of aircraft
