Supersonic planes can significantly impact the environment through increased greenhouse gas emissions and noise pollution. Their engines typically produce more carbon dioxide and other pollutants per passenger compared to subsonic aircraft, contributing to climate change. Additionally, the sonic booms generated when flying faster than the speed of sound can disrupt wildlife and disturb communities near flight paths. Efforts are being made to develop quieter and more environmentally friendly supersonic technologies, but challenges remain.
Take the bird onto a supersonic plane and, while the plane is in flight, have the bird fly around inside the plane.
commonly it is a jet plane
Concorde
A supersonic plane is one that is flying faster than the speed of sound, or Mach 1. A hypersonic plane flies at a speed of Mach 5, so is much faster than a supersonic plane. Mach numbers are used for speeds greater than the speed of sound.
When a supersonic plane goes faster than the speed of sound, it creates a shockwave causing a sonic boom. The sound you hear after the plane has passed is the shockwave catching up to the aircraft. This can create the illusion that the plane has disappeared along with the sound.
Concorde
An airplane that travels faster than sound is called a supersonic aircraft.
Supersonic plane
The shock wave problem refers to the disturbance caused by a sudden release of energy, such as an explosion or supersonic aircraft. This can impact the surrounding environment by creating loud noise, damaging structures, and causing physical harm to living organisms.

If you are asking about the airplane, the Concorde was special because it was the only passenger plane that was supersonic.
You are possibly thinking of the Concorde, but it is no longer in service.
