Supersonic plane
The X-15
The first plane was the experimental Ball X-1.
The first such plane was the experimental Bell X-1.
The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. This means that light waves, carrying visual information, will reach your eyes before sound waves reach your ears. This is why you see the fighter plane first before hearing it.
If the unidentified he refers to Chuck Yeager, then it was the Bell X-1.
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
You would hear the sound after the plane has passed.
Because we can transport important people, goods or messages essecially quickly.
There was not a special name for the first flight that went faster than the speed of sound. However, when a plane does go faster than sound, it said to be traveling at supersonic speeds.
Sound travels faster in moist air
yes, the fastest plane in the world, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, can reach speeds of up to three times the speed of sound.
