Supersonic speed is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds the speed of sound. An object traveling in dry air at a temperature of 68-degrees F, at sea level, reaches supersonic speed at 768-miles per hour. Since the retirement of the Concorde, there are no supersonic passenger aircraft left in service. The speed of sound decreases somewhat with altitude, due to lower temperatures found there.

Are you under water at supersonic speed?
Speed has nothing to do with where you are. You can travel at supersonic speed pretty much anywhere if you have the right vehicle.
Is supersonic the same as the speed of sound?
Supersonic means "Faster than the speed of sound" so they are not the sme thing.
How fast can a supersonic plane fly?
The threshold for supersonic speed is 761 mph in a temperature like 70 degrees. Supersonic speed is any speed greater than the speed of sound (mach 1) and a speed five times the speed of sound (mach 5?) is referred to as hypersonic speed.
What is a supersonic bullet?
A supersonic bullet is a bullet that is faster than the speed of sound.
What is an example of supersonic sound?
No such thing as supersonic sound. Things can move with supersonic speed (fighter jets, ends of whips) making a shock wave, but the sound arrives at your ears at the speed of sound.
An aircraft that flies faster than the speed of sound is said to be?
Supersonic air craft.
What is supersonic and hypersonic?
Supersonic and hypersonic are speeds. Supersonic means faster than the speed of sound, and hypersonic means very much faster.
What's difference between subsonic and supersonic?
The main difference is the speed of the object in relation to the speed of sound. Subsonic refers to speeds slower than the speed of sound, while supersonic refers to speeds faster than the speed of sound. In the case of supersonic speeds, objects are traveling faster than the speed at which sound waves propagate in the medium.
What is one supersonic aircraft?
One supersonic aircraft is the F-15 Eagle. -Supersonic means it can fly faster than Mach 1, the speed of sound. Most fighter jets today are supersonic, in fact many fly more than twice the speed of sound.
What happens when an airplane's speed is supersonic?
It is going faster than the speed of sound.
What part of speech is supersonic?
The word supersonic is an adjective. It refers to something being greater than the speed of sound.
Which is the first commercial aircraft with supersonic speed?
The Concorde was .
