'''Supersonic''' is a term used to describe things which fly faster than the [[speed of sound]]. At 70 degrees Fahrenheit, for an object to fly faster than sound, it must travel 761 miles per hour.
American [[P-47 Thunderbolt]]s in World War II came close to supersonic speeds in a dive, but the first person to break the sound barrier in level flight was [[Charles Yeager|"Chuck" Yeager]] in the [[X-1]] experimental aircraft.
