When planes exceed Mach 1 (the speed of sound, or about 767 miles per hour—1,234 kilometers/hour for those using the metric ...

Also, people in cities where the Concorde flew complained about noise, and as a result, the last time the plane flew was back in 2003. NASA’s new X59 supersonic jet is trying to fix the problem by ...

It was caused by air pressure waves combining to form a shock wave produced by the plane’s extreme speed. The X-59 is designed to hit speeds of 924mph, at an altitude of roughly 55,000ft.
