Supersonic Flight

Objects moving faster than the speed of sound, which is approximately 768 miles per hour, moving four times faster than a racecar. This is called Supersonic flight, which also includes great speeds up to 5 times faster than the speed of sound.
Captain Charles E. was the first person to ever fly an aircraft at supersonic speed, faster than the speed of sound. An aircraft travelling through the air relies on the proportion of the velocity of the aircraft to the rate of sound through the air; this will create a reaction from the air molecules closely surrounding the aircraft.
This formula was named Mach by an aerodynamicist that was named after a physicist in the late 19th century called Ernst Mach; he mainly concentrated his findings on gas dynamics.
The most famous aircraft in the world, which was called the Concord, used supersonic flight. This aircraft was able to fly passengers at supersonic speeds, at twice the speed of sound; the Concord could travel from London the New York in less than 3 ½ hours. Unfortunately in 2003, the Concord aircraft stopped flying.
Most aircrafts seen today are military aircrafts; they are designed for combat so their structure is built to withstand supersonic speeds.
Supersonic flight is not just for aircrafts, but also objects such as bullets that are fired from a gun.

“Chuck” Yeager became the first person to ever fly an aircraft at supersonic speed, faster than the speed of sound. This aircraft was called Bell X-1 aircraft. An aircraft travelling through the air relies on the proportion of the velocity of the aircraft to the rate of sound through the air; this will create a reaction from the air molecules closely surrounding the aircraft. Bell X-1 aircraft was launched not from the ground but from the belly of a Boeing B-29 aircraft at an altitude of 43,000 feet. Its top speed of Mach 1.06 (1,127 km/h), the aircraft travelled faster than the speed of
