They are called Supersonic aircraft. Some aircraft can only do that. Some planes have reached even Hypersonic speeds.
Yes, a sonic boom occurs when an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound. It is the sound associated with the shock waves created by an object traveling through the air at a speed faster than the speed of sound.
When an airplane goes faster than the speed of sound, it reaches the speed of sound barrier, called Mach 1. This can create a sonic boom, which is a loud noise caused by shock waves produced by the plane breaking the sound barrier. The aircraft is said to be supersonic when flying faster than the speed of sound.
The Concorde supersonic passenger jet was one of the few commercial aircraft that could travel faster than the speed of sound, at around Mach 2 (1,354 mph). Currently, military jets like the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor and the North American X-15 rocket-powered aircraft can also fly faster than the speed of sound.
Light travels much faster than the speed of sound. Some high-speed aircraft can travel faster than the speed of sound, reaching supersonic speeds. Particle accelerators can propel particles to speeds faster than the speed of sound.
Currently there are no regular vehicles that are faster than the speed of sound, although both the Concorde, and its Russian copy were faster than the speed of sound. There are plenty of military aircraft that are faster than the speed of sound. All spacecraft capable of reaching orbit are faster than the speed of sound. There have been two or three experimental vehicles, "cars", that have gone faster than the speed of sound as well.
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.
Captain Charles Yeager, flew the aircraft that was faster than sound.
Super sonic aircraft is aircraft that flies faster than the speed of sound.
Charles Yeager was the first person ever to pilot an aircraft beyond the speed of sound.

chuck yeager
the sound barrier
pilot an aircraft faster than the speed of sound
yes. that is below the speed of sound, and there are passenger planes that are supersonic (faster than the speed of sound)
