How fast must an airplane fly in order to produce a sonic boom?
An airplane must fly at speeds equal to or greater than the speed of sound, around 768 mph at sea level, to produce a sonic boom. This creates a shockwave caused by the sudden change in air pressure as the aircraft breaks the sound barrier.
Did Concorde break sound barrier?
Yes. The Concorde jet is the only passenger jet that has exceeded the Sound Barrier. The speed of the flight must exceed atleast 720 miles per hour and the Concorde can almost double that. Since there is a booming noise that is loud enough to shake houses, the Concorde is only allowed to fly over the ocean. It travels from New York to Europe, or vice versa.
What is the sound barrier?
The sound barrier is the point at which an object traveling through air reaches the speed of sound, where it meets increasing resistance, often resulting in a sonic boom. Breaking the sound barrier was a significant milestone in aviation history, showing the ability to fly faster than the speed of sound.
Does Superman run faster than sound?
Sound travels relatively slowly (less than 700 mph). Superman has been estimated to fly at speeds far above this. So, the answer to this question would be yes (hypothetically speaking, since Superman is, after all, a comic book character).
Why is breaking the sound barrier important?
Breaking the sound barrier was an important milestone because it meant that various technical challenges of flying at high speed had been mastered. The Bell X-1, like other aircraft would buffet greatly, malfunction or explode as they approached the sound barrier. The Bell X-1 was the first known aircraft able to successfully fly in level flight at Mach I which is term for the speed of sound. This achievement is considered by many to be the first step of the Space Age.
Which planes now break the sound barrier and how fast they fly?
Only jet fighter planes break sound barrier now.
Who was the first person to fly at speed great enough to break the sound barrier?
charles yeager
How can planes fly 596 mph when going to Europe and not break the sound barrier?
Because breaking the sound barrier requires exceeding the speed of sound. The speed of sound is approximately 761 miles per hour at seal level at an the air temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit.
What date did Chuck Yeager fly at the speed of sound?
The sound barrier was first broken on October 14th, 1947.
Are airplanes jets?
Yes, jets are airplanes but they are called supersonic airplanes.

Who was first person to fly fast than the speed of sound?
Captain (later colonel) Charles "Chuck" Yeager flew the Bell X-1 faster than the speed of sound to become the first pilot to do so. "Glamerous Glennis" rocketed past the sound barrier on 14 October, 1947.
How fast does the ironman suit fly?
It hints in the movie that it can fly Mach 1/ the speed of sound/ 800 mph.
Who is the first woman to fly beyond speed of sound?
On May 18th 1953, at Rogers Dry Lake, California, Jackie Cochran was the first woman to break the sound barrier flying a Canadair F-86 Sabre jet borrowed from the Royal Canadian Air Force
Could the spitfire ever exceed the speed of sound?
Drag on an airplane increases greatly the faster an airplane flies, and so you need massive amounts of power to over come the drag as you break through the sound barrier, so under its own power no a spitfire could not fly faster than the speed of sound
Who was the first pilot to fly an aircraft faster than the speed of light?
Chuck Yeager is the first person to fly faster than sound (breaking the sound barrier), or MACH 1, on October 14, 1947 during level flight at an altitude of 45,000 ft.
