Nothing with mass can ever fly close to the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s

= 299,792.458 km/s.

What is fastest the speed of light or the beat of a fly's wing?

The speed of light ! Nothing travels faster !


What is the sound when a plane flies faster than the speed of light?

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 is an aircraft that flies faster than the speed of sound called?

The type of aircraft that flies faster than the speed of the sound are called SuperSonic aircraft.There are many supersonic aircrafts. Nowadays there are also HyperSonicaircrafts. The maximum speed recorded is Mach 9.6 (9.6 times faster than the speed of sound) by X-43A.


What planes can fly the speed of sound?

Planes that can fly at the speed of sound, or transonic speeds (approximately 343 meters per second or 1,125 feet per second at sea level), include military jets like the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F/A-18 Hornet, as well as supersonic commercial aircraft like the Concorde, which was retired in 2003. Additionally, some experimental aircraft, such as the North American X-15, have also achieved supersonic speeds. Most commercial airliners typically operate below the speed of sound, but certain military and specialized aircraft are designed for supersonic flight.


If you could fly around the earth in less than 24 hours would you go back in time?

If you were travelling faster than the speed of light then yes, but if you were not travelling at light speed you would not. Travelling at light speed can take you around the world 7 times a second.

What is groundspeed of the aircraft?

Ground speed is the speed the aircraft has compared to the ground. This is usually different from air speed, which is the aircraft's speed compared to the surrounding air. Thus an aircraft with 400 kph air speed and 50 kph headwind has a ground speed of 350 kph. For fun: with light aircraft with very low stall speeds it's possible to fly backwards (compared to the ground) if they fly into a headwind that's stronger than their lowest stall speed. I.e. their ground speed is negative.


Some aircraft can fly faster than the speed of sound what is such speed called?

They are called Supersonic aircraft. Some aircraft can only do that. Some planes have reached even Hypersonic speeds.


Can you fly to the speed of light?

no. it is simply impossible to fly at the speed or light. the only thing in this galaxy that can move at the speed of light is light. othewise it is phisically and croneologically impossible.


What is the max altitude does the airplane fly?

It depends what aircraft and what speed you are going


The first pilot to fly an aircraft faster then the speed of sound?

Charles Yeager was the first person ever to pilot an aircraft beyond the speed of sound.


Who was the first to fly an aircraft faster than the speed of sound?

What the slowest speed for aircraft in Class D airspace?

I don't think there are limits to how slow an aircraft can fly in any airspace.


How do you fly the aircraft?

consider an aircraft wings are to move the high speed,it will make a pressure difference in upper & lower surface of the wing so the aircraft are flying


How fast can the stealth fly?

Fast enough to do the job. The actual maximum speed of all stealth aircraft is classified. Like any aircraft, the speed will depend on many factors.


How does a propeller driven aircraft fly?

The propeller pushes or pulls the aircraft forward, once sufficient forward speed is attained the wing can produce lift and the aircraft flies.


Can hypersonic aircraft fly faster than bullets?

Bullets flies at the top speed of Mach 3 but almost Mach 4. There are some planes that can fly much faster than bullets but bullets used to fly faster than most planes(aircraft). Hypersonic aircraft can fly up to Mach 9. So yes, hypersonic aircraft can fly much faster than bullets. If these hypersonic planes can fly faster than bullets, they can fly alot faster than missiles. Missiles also flies around Mach 3 but hypersonic planes don't fly at that kind of speed. The top speed that hypersonic planes is nearly Mach 10(almost 10 times faster than the speed of sound).
