If you were on a plane going the speed of sound and walked from the back of the plane to the front, would you be walking faster than the speed of sound?

A few of above answer is right, this is all about reference point, in case you are considering observation from a stationery point outside to that plane then answer is YES as relative speed concept of Physics says that the speed will be Speed of plane + your Speed in same direction.

if you walk on a plane while is moving as fast as speed of light than the time on a plane is slower than the time on earth.and even you walk inside of plan while it's in speed of light your speed will remain same as the plain b cuz of gravitational force it create inside of the plane wont allow you to walk or run more than the plan speed.even in that speed your clock will start to work slow than the earth time.so technically

you are traveling to the future faster with the help of speed.

the speed relative to a body in earth will be the speed of plane + walking speed

yes your speed will be greater than the speed of the plane... it will be the speed of sound plus your speed walking towards the front..

Even you sit idle inside the plane, it can be consider like "moving" to the speed of sound. Hence "walking" wont change any much.

No ... it is impossible that a simple walk is faster than the speed of a sound.
