Supersonic transports (SSTs) are aircraft designed to fly faster than the speed of sound, which is approximately 343 meters per second (about 1,125 kilometers per hour or 700 miles per hour) at sea level. The most famous example of a supersonic transport is the Concorde, which could cruise at speeds of around Mach 2.04 (about 1,354 miles per hour or 2,180 kilometers per hour).
