At this point in time scientists have only been able to accelerate particles to the speed of light, and there's still arguments about whether or not we've actually succeeded at even that. The speed of light is so incredibly fast that that anything moving that fast would be impossible to maneuver inside the atmosphere. It's entirely likely that the plane would be torn apart by the air resistance alone.
==========================
Answer #2:
The first answer above is far too optimistic and forgiving.
No particle has ever been accelerated to the speed of light. There are solid,
fundamental reasons why it's not possible, and every new stage of research
in Physics confirms them further.
It's not just a matter of "not yet" or "current technology" or "present state of
our knowledge". Nature simply doesn't allow it.
The passenger airplane that flies faster than the speed of sound is called the Concorde.

When an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound, it creates a sonic boom. This is a loud noise produced by the shock waves formed as the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound.
No known particles can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, according to the theory of special relativity. In a medium like water, particles such as neutrinos can travel faster than the speed of light in that medium, but not in a vacuum. In solids, sound waves can propagate faster than light as well.
No, according to the theory of relativity in physics, information cannot travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. This is because as an object with mass accelerates towards the speed of light, its energy increases towards infinity, making it impossible to exceed the speed of light.
The passenger airplane that flies faster than the speed of sound is called the Concorde.
It is going faster than the speed of sound.
Travelling faster than the speed of light is not possible, therefore no galaxies have travelled or are travelling faster than the speed of light.
* The speed of light in a vacuum, * The speed of sound,
The speed of knowledge/information travels faster than the speed of light.
When we discuss moving faster than the speed of light, we are really talking... The speed of a shadow is therefor not restricted to be less than the speed...
Nothing has ever gone 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.
No, not quite. We know that for sure, because nothingmoves faster than the speed of light.
