ocr: SUPERSONIC AIRLINER - Supersonic aircraft fly faster than the speed ofsound. This creates a shock wave in the air around the aircraft. The plane is often dart-shaped: - sO that the wings remain inside the shock wave, allowing the pilot to stay in control. The wings do not produce high lift, so the takeoff andl landing speeds must be high.
