Craig Breedlove became the 1st person to break the sound barrier in an automobile in 1998. At Lake Bonneville, Utah, he achieved a trap speed of over 760 MPH.
Unable to improve, it's completely wrong. 15/10/1997 Thrust SSC, LSR av speed 763 MPH. Breedloves speed was unconfirmed and even if reported correctly here is 2 MPH slower.
This all happened at Black Rock Desert in Nevada. Bonneville has taken a back seat to the new speed site in Nevada.
The first pilot to break the sound barrier is Charles Elwood Yeager Aka Chuck Yeager. This happened on October 14, 1947 at a speed of 662 miles per hour at an altitude of 40,000ft.
He broke the sound barrier October 14, 1947.
The Bell X-1. It is a bright orange plane that can be seen on exhibit in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.
Yes, easily. That is why most bullets make that characteristic "crack" as they're fired. That's the sound barrier being broken. Ever heard a whip being cracked before? It sounds exactly like a gunshot for the reason that it's the same thing happening. That is why so called "silencers" sound nothing like they do in the movies. They are not that "silent" at all because you cannot get rid of the sonic boom. However, some ammo is subsonic, meaning it is designed to go slower than the speed of sound. Subsonic ammo/rounds do not make the distinctive "whipcrack" sound as far as I know.
actually to pronounce it properly break it down like ka- wen-nio say it sound by sound
The first human invention to break the sound barrier was the Bell X-1, an experimental rocket-powered aircraft piloted by Chuck Yeager on October 14, 1947. This milestone marked the first time a manned aircraft had exceeded the speed of sound.
Probably the whip. The distinctive crack of a whip is made when the end of it breaks the sound barrier.
The first aircraft to break the sound barrier was the Bell X-1, which was piloted by Chuck Yeager on October 14, 1947. The successful flight marked a significant milestone in aviation history.
The first human invention to break the sound barrier was the Bell X-1 aircraft, piloted by Chuck Yeager on October 14, 1947. This marked the first controlled, powered flight faster than the speed of sound, a significant achievement in aviation history.
The first man made device to break the sound barrier is the whip. The first pilot to break the sound barrier was Chuck Yeager, flying a Bell X-1 at Mach 1 in October of 1947.
To the best of my knowledge, the sound barrier has never been broken by an automobile.
