Although Concorde and the Tu-144 were the first aircraft to carry commercial passengers at supersonic speeds, they were not the first or only commercial airliners to break the sound barrier. On 21 August 1961, a Douglas DC-8 broke the sound barrier at Mach 1.012, or 1,240 km/h (776.2 mph), while in a controlled dive through 41,088 feet (12,510 m).
The aim was to break the existing record, then make further attempts during which (the members of) the team hoped to reach speeds of up to 1,600 km/h (1,000 mph). The effort was originally run by Richard Noble who was the leader of the ThrustSSC project, however following funding issues in 2018, the team was bought by Ian Warhurst and renamed ...
After getting to altitude, Brandenburg opened up the test plane's throttles, accelerating to Mach 1.1, or about 845 mph (1,360 kph) -- faster than the speed at which sound travels.
The XB-1's flight, livestreamed from the Mojave Air & Space Port in California, made it the first civil supersonic jet made in the U.S. to break the sound barrier.
A sonic boom does not occur only at the moment an object crosses the sound barrier and neither is it heard in all directions emanating from the supersonic object. Rather, the boom is a continuous effect that occurs while the object is traveling at supersonic speeds and affects only observers that are positioned at a point that intersects a ...
At a speed of about 767 miles per hour, depending on temperature and humidity, a moving object will break the sound barrier. It was not until World War II, when aircraft started to reach the ...
This is the first time in history that a land vehicle has exceeded the speed of sound. The new records are as follows: Flying mile 1,227.985 km/h (763.035 mph) Flying kilometre 1,223.657 km/h (760.345 mph) In setting the record, the sound barrier was broken in both the north and south runs.
