As soon as the plane speeds up to go faster than sound, it may generate a
'sonic boom', which continues to sweep over the ground wherever the plane
flies. Faster than that, there's no particular magic speed at which anything new
suddenly magically happens. No aircraft, balloon, rocket ship, bullet, or anything
else can fly faster than the speed of light.

What happens when Concorde plane flies faster than speed of sound?
its simple the sound barrier is broken :D
Why do you often see a plane before you hear it?
Light travels much faster than sound. Light goes 186,000 miles per second. Sound travels at about 720 miles an hour. The light reaches your eye long before the sound gets there.
Why can you hear a fire engine coming around a street corner before you can see it.?
There are two reasons why we can see a plane in the air before we hear it. The first reason is the fact that light moves faster than sound. Everything we see is the result of light reflecting off of an object and into our eyes, producing an image. Second, the plane might be too far. So, with that in mind, we might not even be able to hear the plane in the first place.
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 --------------------------/ \--------------------------------------------- /
What is the name of the passenger airplane that flies faster than the sound of speed?
The passenger airplane that flies faster than the speed of sound is called the Concorde.

Why you see the fighter plane first but hear the plane later?
The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. This means that light waves, carrying visual information, will reach your eyes before sound waves reach your ears. This is why you see the fighter plane first before hearing it.
Conconde flies faster than the speed of light?
Concorde is a commercial supersonic aircraft that can travel at speeds over twice the speed of sound, but it cannot fly faster than the speed of light. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, nothing with mass can reach or exceed the speed of light in a vacuum.
What happens when the plane goes faster the speed of sound?
You would hear the sound after the plane has passed.

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.
Is light faster than sound or is it the other away around?
Light is faster than sound.
Is the aeroplane Conrade faster than sound?
No, but the CONCORDE flies faster than sound
