For decades, the sound barrier loomed as an impenetrable wall against manned flight that buffeted planes with shock waves as they approached the speed of sound. See more in Season 9, Episode 21, “Breaking The Sound Barrier.”

So it was like an american small winged 163
One does not become USAF Brig General by simply being the right age, at the right place at the right time. Chuck Yeager earned that through courage and skill and hard work!
You know who also traveled at the speed of sound? Aliens.–no I’m just kidding.
Cold air has nothing to do with the speed of sound being lower at higher altitudes. It is air pressure or the lower density of the air that does it. I wish people would understand their topics before putting out a video. Waaaiiiittt… did chapGPT write up the script for this ??
And to think Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier with a couple of broken ribs
What a freaking legend
About 30 years ago I got to sit in an X‑1 in the restoration shop at Castle AFB. What we never realize is this: look at a full side view of the plane, especially as a cutaway. You’ll see that the canopy gives ZERO direct forward view. When I sat on that thinly padded metal seat (about 1″ of just or horse hair covered in leather) all you could really see was the very small instrument cluster (it had airspeed, attitude, and altitude, and 4 gauges related to fuel) and the view “forward” was actually forward and upward. So when you flew this thing you had no side or forward view at all, just “up”. There really should have been a second seat for the HUGE brass ones it took to fly this thing.
Error: It was NOT the sound barrier that made the P‑38 lose control in a dive. It was a design that allowed air compression (at only @ .68 Mach) to lock up control surfaces. This problem was later solved. Wikipedia is your friend.
ya well maverick did mach 10.3 in top gun 3 so HA..beat that lol
My grandfather was a test pilot. They were a different breed of men from a different time.
maverick went faster
Chuck Yeager Day should be a national holiday
Everyone whose ever watched this video we are now brothers and sisters. Sadly I fear a dying type of person.
Ahh, I miss so much the History Channel I grew up with, total joke nowadays.
I will admit, I have watched this video 8×…
these guys had balls made of pure steel.
All thus is happening around rhe July 1947 so called Roswell incident
Copy that Xi Jinping? C’mon back.
The most noteworthy part of this video, is Chuck Yeager deferring to his backup as ‘the brains’ of the operation.
Truly competent, secure, effective men know, and deal with their limitations, while exploiting their strengths.
We now live in an age, where if you acknowledge a weakness, you’re quickly reminded that you needn’t shortchange yourself, and ‘nobody is better than you’.
That’s why so few men understand their strengths, and most are incapable of anything particularly worthwhile.
Ah the Maga times… When you could break the sound barrier while letting your nips fly.
It’s still amazing to consider the rate of scientific progress. 45 years from the first hesvier-than-air flight, to the first supersonic flight. Then a mere 21 more years from the first supersonic flight to the moon landing.
These men and women of this era where just out right awesome.
He went to a veterinarian to tape up his ribs.
🐛😎😁😡👹☹️✝️
They used pure alcohol and oxygen as fuel…
In 2016 I was an electrician on the building where they prepped and painted the F‑22, very secure buildings skunk work 🦨 and the first time I saw the Raptor it was awesome.
Good lord just imagine the technology we have today 🥲🥲
Please.
