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.

What are the pigeon senses?

Pigeons possess several keen senses that aid in their navigation and survival. Their vision is highly developed, allowing them to see a broad spectrum of colors and detect polarized light, which helps them orient themselves during flight. Pigeons also have an acute sense of smell, enabling them to recognize familiar locations and food sources. Additionally, they can sense magnetic fields, which assists in long-distance navigation.
