Only the very tip of it, that's the big whipping sound.
Yes.
Yes, fairly early in the ascent.
Mach 1 is the speed at which you break the sound barrier. The speed of sound, or Mach 1, at sea level and under "standard condition" is:1,116.4 ft/s340.3 m/s761.2 mph1,225.1 km/h
Chuck Yeager was a test pilot born in 1923. He is most famous for being the first pilot to break the sound barrier.
As a test pilot Chuck Yeager was the first man to break the sound barrier in level flight. He did this in the X-1 experimental aircraft. He had nothing directly to do with the NASA space program.
Technically speaking yes it can, because the definition of air force one is any air force plane that the president is in so for an example if a president decides to fly in an Air Force fighter jet like the F-15 his call sign would be air force one and it could break the sound barrier, but traditionally speaking the plane he flies daily can not break the sound barrier. The VC-25 (Boeing 747) the President typically flies is not supersonic within its normal flight envelope. That being said, a DC-8 once did break the sound barrier in a shallow dive as part of a controlled test, so it is theoretically possible for commercial airliners to break Mach 1, but strictly speaking a 747 is not a supersonic aircraft.

Only jet fighter planes break sound barrier now.
No helicopters can break the sound barrier. The fastest speed achieved be a helicopter is 249 mph.
Chuck Yeager flew the Bell X1 to break the sound barrier in 1947Chuck Yeager flew the Bell X1 to break the sound barrier
then you break the sound barrier. it doesn't matter what you break it with, it just booms... o.O
Concorde breaks the sound barrier at 2.02mach Super sonic aircraft break the sound barier. They used the plane x-1
Yes, depending on which aircraft you have but there is no indication that you have broken the sound barrier unfortunately.
NO
No
Yes
Most modern guns DO fire bullets that break the sound barrier. That is, their bullets travel faster than the speed of sound when they are fired.
