Can the read speed in Raid 1 arrays be doubled?

I understand rather basically what a raid array is, raid 1 being when you mirror one drive(s) onto an other(s).
Since you then have two copies of all the files is there any way that a raid 1 arrays read speed can be doubled? Or is it already done in Raid 1?

Is there a raid array that may have 1 drive backed up onto 2 more drives with obviously three identical drives. Could corporations that need insanely fast read speeds or data protection but not write speeds use this?

also is there a raid mode that does mirror the drives but does it in a striping way, by writing different stripes at the same time, and then catching up in idle disk times, allowing faster write/read speeds and also great data protection?
if not some one should do it!
