A Lockheed F-104 Starfighter supersonic jet plane is mounted on the side of the SKETCH Foundation Gallery of Air and Space Exhibits building at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, California, USA. The U.S. Air Force procured about 300 Starfighters following the F-104's initial flight in 1954. It was the first aircraft to fly at twice the speed of sound and set a world speed record of 1,404 mph in 1959. That was followed a year later by a world altitude record of 103,395 feet. The 1984 building that supports the plane is first major public work by acclaimed architect Frank Gehry.

The Concorde was a British–French turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner that was operated until 2003. It had a maximum speed over twice the speed of sound, at Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph or 2,180 km/h at cruise altitude), with seating for 92 to 128 passengers. First flown in 1969, Concorde entered service in 1976 and operated for 27 years.

When aircraft fly faster than the speed of sound, shockwaves travel away from the airplane, and are heard on the ground as a sonic boom. NASA are studying shockwaves to make sonic booms quieter, allowing supersonic flight over land.

Said to have flown at approximately twice the speed of sound, the trainer version of Britain's fastest all-weather jet fighter is on order for the Royal Air Force. It will be delivered with provision for a full weapon system so that it can also be used as an operational aircraft. Part of the weapon system, two firestreak guided missiles are shown on either side of the fuselage.

Specifically, is about a one hour flight at the speed of sound with the rocket aircraft SXC in about 100 kilometres hight. The trial will be pursued next year at the regional court in Magdeburg.

When asked about Airmen today, Yeager commented that troops today are the world’s best. He said they are well trained and good at their jobs. Yeager is the first and youngest military pilot to be inducted into the Aviation Hall of Fame. He is best known as the first pilot ever to fly faster than the speed of sound.

The X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology, or QueSST, wing assembly, is lifted by a crane and moved to another area of the manufacturing floor in preparation for wing skin installation. The aircraft is under construction at Lockheed Martin in Palmdale, California, and will fly for the first time in 2021. Currently, commercial planes aren't allowed to fly faster than the speed of sound over land because they would create sonic booms that are very loud and disruptive to humans and animals.

As tall as a 10 story building, this towering bank of vanes turns the air smoothly around one of the four corners of the world's largest wind tunnel. This tunnel which has a test section 40 feet high and 80 feet wide, is operated by the NACA's Ames Aeronautical Laboratory at Moffett Field, California. With a maxium air speed of 250 miles per hour, the 40 by 80 foot tunnel is proving very valuable in studying the low speed problems arising from new aircraft wing shapes designed for flight near or above the speed of sound. The tunnel structure covers eight acres and at the point shown in this ph
