That depends on the jumbo jet. The Concord was capable of super-sonic speed, even though it was not considered to be a Jumbo Jet.
An L1011 or 747 cannot approach the speed of sound because of wing configuration. They are designed for economical air travel at sub-sonic speeds, and any attempts to approach the speed of sound would be disastrous. But if engineers designed a jumbo jet to travel at super-sonic speeds, it would be perfectly safe.
What else can I help you with?
Can a jet fighter fire its canons while flying faster than the speed of sound?
Yes, a jet fighter can fire its cannons while flying faster than the speed of sound. The bullets fired from the cannons can also travel faster than the speed of sound, effectively hitting the target even when the jet is flying at supersonic speeds.
How can you tell if a jet is flying faster than the speed of sound?
wait for the sonic boom
If the sound of a jet plane does not come from the part of the sky where the plane is seen does that mean the plane is traveling faster than the speed of sound?
no, not necessarily. the reason that the sound appears to be coming from way behind the jet is because light travels faster than sound. think of a firework show, the sound always comes after the flash depending on how far away you are. since the jet is far away, by the time the sound reaches you, the jet is already way out ahead of the sound. this might help. ---jet--> ) ) ) <---sound ) ) ) ) 0 \|/ | <----you --------------------------/ \--------------------------------------------- /
Is there any object that is faster than sound?
Jet planes often fly faster than sound.
What is the shock wave called if a jet flies faster than the speed of sound?
The shock wave is called SONIC BOOM.
What is faster a fighter jet or sound?
A fighter jet can be faster than the speed of sound.
What type of jet travels faster than the speed of sound?
supersonic
How f15 jet can go faster than sound?
Any modern jet fighter can go past the speed of sound.
Who broke the speed of sound in a jet?
We call them sonic booms. There are jets can fly faster than sound speed.
Can a jet fighter fire its canons while flying faster than the speed of sound?
Yes, a jet fighter can fire its cannons while flying faster than the speed of sound. The bullets fired from the cannons can also travel faster than the speed of sound, effectively hitting the target even when the jet is flying at supersonic speeds.
Which aeroplain travels faster than sound?
The Concorde was a commercial supersonic jet that traveled faster than the speed of sound. It had a top speed of around Mach 2, which is about 1,354 miles per hour.
How faster than sound is the f16 fighter jet?
It will fly approximately twice the speed of sound.

Does a supersonic jet travel faster than sound?
Yes, a supersonic jet travels faster than the speed of sound, which is approximately 767 miles per hour at sea level. Supersonic jets can reach speeds up to Mach 2 or more, which is twice the speed of sound.
Were to get sonic boom?
A sonic boom is caused by going faster than the speed of sound, so in a fast jet
Is there any object that is faster than sound?
