Charles Yeager was the first person ever to pilot an aircraft beyond the speed of sound.
Chuck Yeager
It was referred to as breaking the sound barrier.
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.
Actually, transonic speed is not a speed faster than that of sound. Transonic speed is approx. Equal to the speed of sound, not faster.

No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
Electricity is faster than sound. The speed of electricity through a conductor is close to the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound through air.
He never did. But he was the first pilot to successfully travel faster than the speed of sound in 1947.
