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.


Why have we been able to build supersonic aircraft but not supeersonic ships?

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.

Plane to fly faster than speed of sound?

Supersonic aircraft, such as the Concorde, were able to fly faster than the speed of sound. They achieved this by using advanced aerodynamic designs and powerful engines. However, due to high operating costs and noise concerns, supersonic commercial flights are currently limited.

What roll did AWACS play in the Falklands war?

AWACS was not used by the British forces as the British Government had scrapped the only ships able to carry an AWACS aircraft. Argentina had no AWACS capability.


How are you able to see the aircraft lights when the aircraft is flying at 40000 feet?

Because the aircraft lights are very powerful.. if you were not able to see the lights they have instruments to tell if other aircraft are nearby


What is top speed of nuclear powered destroyer ship?

The US Navy no longer has nuclear powered cruisers or destroyers. The only nuclear powered surface ships are aircraft carriers. In general, the nuclear powered cruisers/destroyers could achieve speeds in excess of 30 knots (34 Miles Per Hour). Aircraft carriers must be able to achieve the same speed in order for them to be able to launch and recover aircraft.
