SST

Mach-breaking aircraft

SST is an abbreviation with several meanings depending on context.

In aviation, it stands for supersonic transport—aircraft that fly faster than the speed of sound, like the Concorde.

In oceanography, SST means sea surface temperature, a key measurement in climate science: SST data helps predict hurricane intensity.

In technology, it can refer to solid-state technology or solid-state drives.
