would you be walking faster than the speed of sound?

Okay now you're messing with my head.....
Okay...scientifically, no....I think....but for the sake of humor, I'll just say yes and sprinkle some faerie dust and use my own wings for now.....

No. Depending on your walking speed, you would be going 3 miles per hour or so. The plane is going faster than the speed of the sound made by the air plane. And, while you are in the plane, you are going faster than the sound made by the airplane.

Yes, but because your "relative speed" to the plane would still seem like you were just walking inside the aircraft. Even if you walked from the front of the plane to the back of the plane, if it was going fast enough you would still be exceeding the speed of sound. With the fuselage around you, you really wouldn't sense it at all.

No, your actions inside the plane are not relative to the speed the plane is traveling. You would be walking the speed relative to moving objects inside the plane, considering your motion was counteracted by some sort of stabilization force (otherwise you would be glued to your seat).

If the plane you were on was going the speed of sound you'd be stuck to the back of the plane!!!!

yeah, besides the shown fact that the planes does not fly with the cost of sound, reason 0.ninety six Mach is the cost sound, airways fly with 0.87 Mach at maximum:) and yeah, u'd be seen swifter than the airplane from a attitude yet no longer from yet another

They are completely independant of each other.
The speed of the plane has nothing to do with the speed of a human being.
It just doesn't make scientific sense.

I thought you were going to ask a "fart" question. The answer is "relative". The same answer to the question,"If I'm driving at the speed of light and turn on my headlights, would they do anything?"

you WOULD be walking AND travelling the speed of sound...but IN the actual "walking motion" ? no you would not be WALKING faster than sound...capice?
