Super-Sonic Speed Achieved By Plane
Air Secretary Symington says the XS-1 research plane has flown much faster than sound at times. Capt. Charles E. Yeager is the only pilot to fly beyond the sonic wall, a wartime ace from Myra West Virginia. The speed of sound varies with temperature, about 163 mph at sea level and 662 mph at 67 below zero. At higher altitudes sound travels slower, aiding the XS-1 near space, while the Skyrocket flew in hotter air where the sound barrier is higher.
