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

Does a sonic boom occur at the moment when an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound?

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.


What happen when the aeroplane go faster than the speed of the 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.


Which aircraft is 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.


Can you List 3 things that is 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.


What vehicle is faster than 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.
