Which indivdual made the first supersonic flight in 1947?
chuck yeager
When and where did the first supersonic flight took place?
Chuck Yeager is credited with piloting the first supersonic flight on October 14, 1947, flying the experimental X-1 "Glamorous Glennis" achieving Mach 1 at an altitude of 45,000 feet over Edwards Air Force base.
Who flow the first supersonic?
Chuck Yeager did in 1947.
On October 14 1947 a US Air Force pilot made the first supersonic flight in a rocket powered airplane. What was the name of this famous test pilot?
General Chuck Yeager was the pilot of the Bell X-1, first aircraft to fly supersonic.
When was the first supersonic jet flight?
The first official record of a manned supersonic flight was Charles Yeager flying the Bell X-1 on October 14, 1947. There is a "plausible" claim that George Welch actually beat Yeager by two weeks in an XP-86 Sabre, but that run was not officially monitored so it isn't considered "official."
Chuck Yeagers contributions to flight?
Chuck Yeager made significant contributions to flight as a test pilot and the first person to break the sound barrier in 1947. His courage and skill paved the way for advancements in supersonic and hypersonic flight. Additionally, his work as a test pilot helped improve aircraft safety and performance, shaping the future of aviation.
Who made the first surpersonic flight in 1947?

What was the first manned supersonic airplane?
the first manned aircraft that was supersonic was a SR-71(a.k.a. black bird). the person who flew this plane was Joseph Willingham. this plane was made in area 51 in Arizona. this plane can reach speeds up to 4 mocks (4 times the speed of sound). Answer: This is is completely incorrect (even disregarding the "mocks" for Mach). The first aircraft to go supersonic (in level flight) was the Bell X-1, piloted by Chuck Yeager. This happened on 14 October 1947. George Welch claimed (not implausibly) to have exceeded Mach 1 (in a dive) while flying an XP-86 some 13 days (1 October) earlier. The first flight of the SR-71 did not take place until 22 December 1964 - 17 years after Chuck Yeager. (And the SR-71 was not made at Area 51 - they were built at Lockheed's Burbank factory).
