In the 77 years since captain chuck yeager flew faster than the speed of sound, supersonic travel has transformed how we fly. these barrier breaking speeds may be hitting the commercial sector for the first time in decades. Piloting the bell xs 1 rocket powered research airplane, u.s. air force test pilot captain charles e. “chuck” yeager had just become the first man to exceed the speed of sound, ushering in the era of supersonic flight. The transition to supersonic flight was remarkably uneventful. after flying under power from the xlr 11 rocket engine for 20 seconds, yeager cut the power and glided down to the lakebed for a safe landing.
