What else can I help you with?
How did the Concorde speed compare with the speed of sound?
The Concorde's cruising speed was over twice the speed of sound, around Mach 2 (more than 1,300 mph). The speed of sound at sea level is approximately 761 mph, so the Concorde flew significantly faster than the speed of sound.
Who was the first pilot to fly aircraft faster then the speed of sound?
Chuck Yeager flew at Mach 1.07 at Muroc Army Air Field on October 14, 1947.
Conconde flies faster than the speed of light?
Concorde is a commercial supersonic aircraft that can travel at speeds over twice the speed of sound, but it cannot fly faster than the speed of light. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, nothing with mass can reach or exceed the speed of light in a vacuum.
What is the name of the passenger airplane that fly's faster than the speed of sound?
Concorde, which is now retired, was the only commercial airliner that flew faster than the speed of sound.
What former commercial airplane flew faster than sound and how fast was it?
the Russian Concorde flew at a top speed of 1,490 mph
How fast can an airplane fly today?
Passenger airplanes fly at a speed ranging from 600 to 980 kph. Military aircrafts fly faster. The fastest military aircraft was the SR-71. It flew at a speed of Mach 3.5.
What former commercial airplane flew faster than sound?
The concord.
What kind of airplane did Jacqueline Cochran fly to become the first female pilot to travel at twice the speed of sound?
Jacqueline Cochran flew an F-86 Sabre fighter plane in 1953-becoming the first woman to fly faster than sound. She outdid herself in 1964 when she flew faster than twice the speed of sound. In total, it is believed that Cochran set more than 200 records during her career.
Has any one gone faster than the speed of sound?
Plenty of people have gone faster than the speed of sound by now. All astrounauts, most fighter pilots, all passengers who ever flew on the Concorde. One guy jumping from a balloon. One or two drivers of jet/rocket cars.
Can you travel faster than the speed of sound?
Yes, many but mostly military. The Concorde passenger plane even flew above the speed of sound. Chuck Yeager is the first person credited with flying faster than the speed of sound in 1947. A few kinds of airplanes travel faster than sound, such as the Concorde SST and supersonic fighter jets.
What is the fastest Aircraft and How fast is it?
Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. It flew a top speed of 1,807 mph.
What was the name of the plane that was in the first flight faster than the speed of sound?
On October 14th, 1947, Chuck Yeager became the first man to fly at Mach-1 (the speed of sound). He flew the Bell X-1 at a speed of approximately 350 Meters per second. Yeager's personal best speed was Mach-2.44 (almost 2 and a half times the speed of sound).
