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.

What is the difference between hypersonic supersonic planes?

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.


Why does a supersonic plane disappear when you hear its 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.
