When pilots get closer to the speed of sound it gets harder for the plane to fly. It could also depend on the how the pilot flees.

When you change the pitch of a sound what change in sound wave?
In sounds with higher pitches, the compressions that make up the sound are closer together; when the pitch is lower, they are farther apart. The wavelength of a sound, which is the distance from one compression to the next, is the speed of sound divided by the sound's frequency (pitch).
How does the speed of sound in steel compare with the speed of sound in air?
The speed of sound in steel is faster than the speed of sound in air.
How fast do sound waves travel through liquid?
The speed of sound is the fastest through a solid. You can calulate the speed by the formula distance and time. It is the fastest through a solid because the molecules are closer together than the other states of matter, so the reaction time is shorter.
What does high pressure do to sound?
The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.
How fast is the sound barrier?
I guess you refer to the speed of sound. The speed of sound depends on the material sounds goes through, as well as temperature, pressure, humidity, among others. For example, the speed of sound in air is around 350 meters/second; in some other materials it can be several times as fast.
Can a human travel at the speed of sound?
Sure. Air Force pilots do it fairly frequently.
How do fighter pilots communicate when they break the speed of sound?
Fighter pilots don't use sound to communicate, they use radios, and radio waves travel far faster than any plane to date, so there is no trouble communicating.
What is the effect of medium on the speed of sound?
Sound travels faster through denser media because their molecules are closer together.
What is the effect of the medium on the speed of sound?
Sound travels faster through denser media because their molecules are closer together.
When is speed of sound the greatest?
The speed of sound is greatest in solids, as the particles are closer together and can transmit vibrations faster. In general, the speed of sound increases with an increase in density and elasticity of the medium.
What is the speed of sound in concrete?
Between 3200 and 3600 m/s, the closer together the particles are in a substance are, the faster sound can travel through it. This is why these values are much higher than the 343 m/s, the speed of sound in air.
What do pilots use sound for?
usually there ears
Why does sound travel faster in metals than in air?
I believe it has to do with the fact that the atoms are closer together. The forces between the atoms probably also affect the speed of sound.
Why does speed of sound depend on temperature?
Cold air is denser than warm air, and sound travels faster through denser media (because their molecules are closer together).
Will sound travel faster in 58 degrees Celsius or 88 degrees Celsius?
58 degrees because it is closer to 69 degrees.
When you change the pitch of a sound what change in sound wave?
In sounds with higher pitches, the compressions that make up the sound are closer together; when the pitch is lower, they are farther apart. The wavelength of a sound, which is the distance from one compression to the next, is the speed of sound divided by the sound's frequency (pitch).
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?
The speed of sound in a solid is faster than the speed of sound in air.
