Sound speed is 1235 km/h on 20C if speed is around that speed called sonic speed.

Below that Subsonic.

More then That Supersonic.

5 times more then that called hypersonic.

The formula to find the speed of sound in air is as follows:
v = 331m/s + 0.6m/s/C * T.
Here T=30deg.
v=350m/s or 1257 kmph almost equal to 1260kmph. can be said sonic.

Supersonic speed is the rate of travel of an object that exceeds the Speed of sound (Mach 1). For objects travelling in the dry air of a temperature of 20 C (68 F) at sea level, this speed is approximately 343.2 m/s, 1,125 ft/s, 768 mph, 667 knots, or 1,235 km/h.

Speeds greater than five times the speed of sound (Mach 5) are often referred to as hypersonic. Flight during which only some parts of the air surrounding an object, such as the ends of rotor blades, reach supersonic speeds is called transonic.

This occurs typically somewhere between Mach 0.8 and Mach 1.23.

Speed of aircraft:- A hypersonic speed exceeds 5 times the speed of sound, often stated as starting at speeds of Mach 5 and above. Supersonic speed is the speed of an aircraft that exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1).

Sonic speed is the speed of an object that is equal to the speed of sound (Mach 1). Subsonic speed is the speed of an aircraft that less than the speed of sound (Mach 1). For objects traveling in dry air at a temperature of 0 °C(32 °F) at sea level, this speed is approximately 344 m/s (1238.40 km/hr).
