The first flight at faster than the speed of sound occurred on 14 October 1947. The aircraft was the Bell X-1 and the pilot was Captain Charles Yeager.
Sound travels fastest, and best through a solid. eg. steel
No!...Speed of light is the fastest speed possible, but now a new particle called lepton is more faster than light...rather it is has the fastest speed discovered till now.It travels in the same wave as light travels i.e tranverse waves.
Sound travels fastest in air at around 343 meters per second (m/s) at room temperature (around 20 degrees Celsius). However, the speed of sound in air can vary depending on the temperature and humidity of the air.
Speed of sound (M/Sec): Sea water at 0C: 1450 Sea water at 20C: 1522 Sea water at 30C: 1545 Butyl rubber/carbon (100/40): 1600 Neoprene: 1510 Neoprene/carbon (100/60): 1690 Rubber (natural): 1600 So, on the whole, sound is slightly faster in rubber
No real limit, up to the speed of light. The Apollo astronauts traveled at ABOUT 32 times the speed of sound on their trip to the moon. That is the fastest yet.

No. The fastest speed a tornado has peen known to travel is 73 mph, about 1/10 the speed of sound. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph, still less than half the speed of sound.
The speed of sound, it is different in different substances, but it is roughly equal to the speed of sound in rock.
The SR-71 is the fastest manned jet. Its fastest recored speed is Mach 3.3 (3.3 the speed of sound.)
According to the table the medium that sound travels at fastest speed is the electromagnetic waves.
Sound travels the fastest in solids. Solids being the most denser make sound travel fastest as compared to liquids and gases which have speed of sound relatively less than solids.
Mach 3.2 which is 3.2 X the speed of sound
There are different variations of Harriers in service, the fastest has a top speed of 735mph(.96mach) slower than the speed of sound.
A photon travels fastest through a medium, followed by sound, then electrons. Photons travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is faster than the speed of sound or electrons in a medium. Sound travels at a much slower speed than light, while electrons generally move at speeds that are significantly slower than both photons and sound waves.
Nope. The speed of sound is ABOUT 760 mph. Fastest human runner is 27.79 mph. Not even close.
The Railgun, it fires over double the speed of sound.
