On this day in 1947, Chuck Yeager, a World War II fighter pilot ace, became the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound breaking the elusive "Sound Barrier." His X-1 rocket plane was built by the Bell Aircraft Company to explore the possibility of supersonic flight. The X-1 was taken to an altitude of 25,000 feet by a B-29 bomber and released through the bomb bay rocketing to 40,000 feet and exceeding 662 miles per hour to achieve a speed greater than the speed of sound.
