∙ 12y agoWith modern technology, there are many planes that can travel faster than the speed of sound, including many fighter planes and a few airliners.
Any aircraft that flies faster than 1 Mach is faster than the speed of sound.
Almost all modern day fighters travel at speeds in excess of the speed of sound. That includes the Russian MIGS from mig17 on, French Mirage, All US fighters.
The planes which can fly at the speed of sound are SR-71, Mig-25, F-16, F-18, F-22, Sukhoi Su-47 and many others.

∙ 12y agoSuch aircraft are typically powered by jet engines. 'Supersonic' is the word that means 'faster than the speed of sound.' 'Supersonic jet aircraft' aptly names the type of aircraft that is posited in the question.
An airplane that travels faster than the speed of sound is commonly referred to as a supersonic airplane.

When an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound, it creates a sonic boom. This is a loud noise produced by the shock waves formed as the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound.
The speed of sound in a medium is influenced by factors like the density and elasticity of the medium. In general, sound travels faster in denser and more elastic materials. For example, sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases.
Light travels much faster than sound - about a million times faster. When an event happens at a distance, light reaches your eyes almost instantly, allowing you to see it first. Sound, on the other hand, travels much slower, taking some time to reach your ears, which is why you hear the event after seeing it.
The speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound. Light travels at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum, while sound travels at around 343 meters per second in the air.
The speed of sound generally increases with temperature and the elasticity of the medium through which it travels. In gases, sound travels faster at higher temperatures, while in solids and liquids, the speed of sound is influenced by factors like density and stiffness.

the sound travels at the speed of sound, but the gasses dont
Light is much faster then the speed of sound. Sound travels at a speed of about 768 Miles per hour, when light travels at a speed of 186,282 miles per SECOND.
No. Light travels much faster than sound.
No. Speed depends on how dense the material is that the sound travels through- it travels faster in dense water than in light air. The VOLUME of the sound has no bearing on the speed that it travels.
sound travels at a certain speed but jets go faster than sound waves

When an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound, it creates a sonic boom. This is a loud noise produced by the shock waves formed as the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound.
The denser the medium, the faster sound travels in it.
Light travels at approximately 3x108m/s whilst sound travels only at 343m/s. So which do you think is the faster one?
