Supersonic planes travel faster than sound. There are a lot of them. Most modern fighter jets can do it, and there have even been commercial planes that could (eg Concorde, Tu-144).

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.


Can a sound be faster than a other sound?

yes, sound travels faster in liquids and solids than in gases e.g. faster in water than through air. The denser the solid, the faster the sound travels.

How many sonic booms does a plane make when it travels faster than the speed of sound?

When a plane travels faster than the speed of sound, it creates a single sonic boom, which occurs when it breaks through the sound barrier. However, as the plane continues to fly at supersonic speeds, it can produce multiple sonic booms depending on its flight path and altitude. Each sonic boom is a result of shock waves generated by the aircraft, which merge into a single boom as the plane passes through the sound barrier.


What is created when an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound?

When a plane travels near to or faster than the speed of sound then the air pressure near the plane's body reduces and due to aerodynamically design the pressure change shifts towards the tail .Due to low pressure the moisture and air around there contract instantly and forms a cloud and then that air expands rapidly created a loud burst (It can Break Glass).Here is your answer, It is SONIC BOOM.

Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?

Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
