762mph at sea level.
The sound barrier
No helicopters can break the sound barrier. The fastest speed achieved be a helicopter is 249 mph.
No, most bullets however do break the sound barrier, at roughly 1100 fps is the speed of sound. Some of the smaller pistal rounds like the 9mm go about 900 fps to about 1050 fps. So there you have it not all bullets break the sound barrier.
"Breaking the sound barrier" means that you go faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound varies depending on various circumstances; in air, it is typically about 340 meters per second.
Yes it reached a speed of 763 MPH in Nevada in 1997. It had an F4 Phantom Jet engine.
No helicopters can break the sound barrier. The fastest speed achieved be a helicopter is 249 mph.

You break the sound barrier by moving at a speed that is faster than the speed that sound travels. In dry air, sound moves 768 mph which about 1 mile in 5 sec.
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.
No, most bullets however do break the sound barrier, at roughly 1100 fps is the speed of sound. Some of the smaller pistal rounds like the 9mm go about 900 fps to about 1050 fps. So there you have it not all bullets break the sound barrier.
Once you break the sound barrier you produce a "boom" as long as you are above the speed of sound. Regardless of the speed.

Because breaking the sound barrier requires exceeding the speed of sound. The speed of sound is approximately 761 miles per hour at seal level at an the air temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yes if you could manage to launch it at a high enough speed it could break the sound barrier.
"Breaking the sound barrier" means that you go faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound varies depending on various circumstances; in air, it is typically about 340 meters per second.
At 700mph( its' ability to go 600 plus 100 more pushing him) it already broke your speed of sound barrier of 660mph.
