Simultaneous output from sonar array using arduino

I am working on a project that records the elevation changes of a 1 foot wide section using sonar distance measurement. I have 10 HC-SR04 sensors arranged in a straight line over this 1 foot section. The

The issue I am having is that when I send an output from my sonar sensor, I must wait until the return signal is recorded before I can trigger the next sonar sensor to take a measurement. This is rather slow and decreases the sampling frequency significantly. I need each sonar sensor to take 1000 measurements per second for my project. Is

Is there a way to have the HC-SR04 sensors simultaneously output and listen for the return signal? I would want all 10 sensors to send a 40khz40 kHz pulse at the same time, and then when a return signal is recorded, another 40khz40 kHz pulse is sent out.

The average distance to the 1 foot wide section is about 11in11 inch. If the Arduino is limited and there are other control boards that can accomplish this, it would help a lot if you can point me in the right direction. Thank you.

The average distance to the 1 foot wide section is about 11in. If the Arduino is limited and there are other control boards that can accomplish this, it would help a lot if you can point me in the right direction. Thank you.
