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.

Where are planes stored?
mainly at airports: a) at tiedowns b) hangers (also in lots (graveyards) of obsolite planes)
Can handicapped people fly planes?
Yes. I doubt if all of the athletes that took part in the Beijing handicaped Olympics walked there.
What is the main limitation of microwave transmission?
The main limitations to Microwave transmission is the fact that it needs line of sight and that it can be subject to interference such as planes passing over, or rain
HOW HAS Aircraft maintenance changed over time?
it has changed over time by having like.. bigger bombs and stronger ones :P and bigger planes that can fly faster
At what altitude does the planes landing gear go up?
well first, it dosent happen automatcally and second, air line pilots usually put it from around 50-300 feet
Some aircraft can fly faster than the speed of sound what is such speed called?
They are called Supersonic aircraft. Some aircraft can only do that. Some planes have reached even Hypersonic speeds.
Can hypersonic aircraft fly faster than bullets?
Bullets flies at the top speed of Mach 3 but almost Mach 4. There are some planes that can fly much faster than bullets but bullets used to fly faster than most planes(aircraft). Hypersonic aircraft can fly up to Mach 9. So yes, hypersonic aircraft can fly much faster than bullets. If these hypersonic planes can fly faster than bullets, they can fly alot faster than missiles. Missiles also flies around Mach 3 but hypersonic planes don't fly at that kind of speed. The top speed that hypersonic planes is nearly Mach 10(almost 10 times faster than the speed of sound).
What is the difference between planes and insects?
planes are bigger than insects. insects are smaller than planes.
Which aeroplain travels faster than sound?
Supersonic jet planes
Would hypersonic passenger planes have windows?
Well the A2 ,a hypersonic transporter in the research stage, does not have windows, it only has screens projecting what is going on outside, so my answer is no, but I guess it just depends on the plane.

Supersonic plane
Are jets planes?
Yes, jets are planes but jets are mostly known as supersonic planes.
What is the difference between lines of symmetry and planes of symmetry?
Lines of symmetry are 2 dimensional. Planes of symmetry are 3D.
What is the difference between airways and waterways?
Airways are for planes, waterways are for boats.
