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.
