Chuck Yeager Breaking the Sound Barrier

- Chuck Yeager remained in the Air Force after the war, becoming a test pilot at Muroc Army Air Field (now Edwards Air Force Base). After Bell Aircraft test pilot "Slick" Goodlin demanded $150,000 ($1.6 million in 2015 dollars) to break the sound "barrier," the USAAF selected Yeager to fly the rocket-powered Bell XS-1 in a NACA program to research high-speed flight.
Yeager in front of the Bell X-1, which, as with all of the aircraft assigned to him, he named Glamorous Glennis (or some variation thereof), after his wife.
Such was the difficulty in this task that the answer to many of the inherent challenges were along the lines of "Yeager better have paid-up insurance."[21] Two nights before the scheduled date for the flight, Yeager broke two ribs when he fell from a horse. He was worried that the injury would remove him from the mission and reported that he went to a civilian doctor in nearby Rosamond, who taped his ribs.[22][Note 2] Yeager told only his wife, as well as friend and fellow project pilot Jack Ridley, about the accident. On the day of the flight, Yeager was in such pain that he could not seal the X-1's hatch by himself. Ridley rigged up a device, using the end of a broom handle as an extra lever, to allow Yeager to seal the hatch.
Yeager broke the sound barrier on October 14, 1947, flying the X-1 at Mach 1.07 at an altitude of 45,000 ft (13,700 m) over the Rogers Dry Lake in the Mojave Desert. Yeager was awarded the MacKay and Collier Trophies in 1948 for his mach-transcending flight, and the Harmon International Trophy in 1954. The X-1 he flew that day was later put on permanent display at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum.
Yeager went on to break many other speed and altitude records. He was also one of the first American pilots to fly a MiG-15, after its pilot, No Kum-sok, defected to South Korea.[27][28] Returning to Muroc, during the latter half of 1953, Yeager was involved with the USAF team that was working on the X-1A, an aircraft designed to surpass Mach 2 in level flight. That year, he flew a chase aircraft for the civilian pilot Jackie Cochran, a close friend, as she became the first woman to fly faster than sound.

Now you're flying up in heaven!! Rest in peace Mr Yeager
Nope. Dead. No afterlife. No heaven.
He should be put the rest with his broom handle. Whenever I visit the Smithsonian, I have to visit Glamorous Glennis. The first book I ever read was the account of this flight. A true hero.
@@zebunker ur parents and grandparents are rotting in hell
@@zebunker shut up

The Air Force was less than one month old when Yeager broke the sound barrier.
The man that helped chuck out and shook his hand was my greatgrandpa I never got a chance to meet him before he passed away so this is really cool to see :) thank you for posting this clip
Thanks for sharing your story.
Apart from the fact that the British were a lot closer to breaking the sound barrier than america. As allies, the US contacted Britain and asked for a trade of information, so it could be a joint venture. Britain trusted america and sent the research. America didnt reciprocate, and broke the sound barrier, claiming it as their own. But they dont teach you that in your schools.Bit like Concorde really,if america dont win they lie, google it, or i can send you links.
look at Lew Rods comment on here, as i said but all technical data
Wow awesome how my grandpa have met yours!
my dad met chuck
He lived an amazing life. Full of not only many years but many accomplishments. He will be missed.
Just re reading his auto biography. He signed it twice. Once, on the back, then again on the front. "To Ken. Good luck,..Chuck Yeager" Probably the only one in existence he signed twice. Awesome guy.
RIP Chuck Yeager! You had the Right Stuff..
RIP General Yeager a true American HERO!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My grandfather remembers him piloting an F-80 through Charleston, WV on October 10, 1948. Thing is, he was supposed to just fly over the city. Instead, he flew under the South Side Bridge at 450 miles an hour, and turned to wave at the people of Charleston. He's a "good ol' country boy" according to my grandfather.
Died finally from all those years of dragging his balls of steel behind him! RIP sir! Thank you for your incredible bravery and airmanship!
Chuck Yeager has passed away this morning... RIP🥺🥺
The right stuff... Real heroes are humble. RIP, Mister Yeager.
Some advice Chuck gave once has stuck with me for years, when asked if he ever got scared he replied " I only worry about the things l have control of."
*I never heard of Chuck Yeager until today 3/30/2017. This is the kind of stuff they should teach in history classes and science classes. Thanks for posting*
Glad you like it. Let your teachers know.
Im know him from unreleased game for NES ;)
Autographed photo of him sitting on my desk right now. They used to teach this stuff in school.
King Rose Archives In my Count They Tought us About Chuck. And I Was Only in Grade School in the Late 89's. From There I Really Got more interested in Aviation.
This is definitely the kind of stuff they should teach. You might even say it’s the right stuff.
RIP Chuck Yeager, this day of December 7th 2020. A great American and hero.
Fly Fly.. high Chuck Yeager... to the stars, to the infinite, to immortality... Chuck Yeager has left earth.
RIP and long live Chuck Yeager (February 13, 1923 - December 7, 2020), aged 97
You will always be remembered as a legend.
It takes real men like Mr. Yeager to make history. My uncle was a RCAF and was shot down and taken prisoner months before the war was over. Frank didn't talk about his war experiences until nearly the end of his life.Frank flew the Hawker Hurricane. After seeing Mr Yeager and his great career I wish my uncle was still with us(he passed one year ago), I have more questions for him RIP Frank C Johnson
With a broken collar bone suffered the day before at the Happy Bottom Riding Club, treated by a local veterinarian. This is the stuff legends are made of.
Unlike some today who are famous for being famous and not for what they accomplished.
He had broken ribs not a collar bone.
when Chuck moved from home he said Dad you are the man of the house now
@@cf6282 Riding his horse at night and someone closed the gate. He busted two ribs when he went down. Ridley cut a broom handle that gave him the mechanical advantage he needed to close the hatch on the X-15.
@Mark Grudt You can't make that stuff up can you? 'The Right Stuff' was an extraordinary film although I don't think Tom Wolfe and the film treated Gus Grissom very well.
So sad to hear about the recent passing of Charles "Chuck" Yeager, the first pilot to fly supersonic. He has made immeasurable contributions to aviation and will be missed.
General Chuck Yeager was definitely an aviation pioneer AND legend. Earlier today I watched the movie "The Right Stuff" in which Yeager was played by Sam Shepard and breaking the sound barrier was part of the movie. Even Yeager had a small part in the movie. R.I.P General.
RIP Chuck Yeager, passed just bf 9p yesterday, 12/8.
One of the greatest pilots of all time armed with nothing but a high school education.
The word today puts far too much faith and reliance wasting time on expensive pieces of paper know as collage degrees.
College*
Imagine how great the education system was.
Truth! My father bonly went to sixth grade became a machine tool builder and didn't know English till immigration to USA from Germany I miss him so
The current school system is designed to produce factory workers
@@davyroger3773 The American school system has been hijacked by marxist incrementalists for decades, who've injected division/diversity training into every lesson, twisting history to fit a narrative that trashes America's character and the achievements of her people!
It's Gates foundation - common core version of math is taught to make children lose interest and be overwhelmed with process and theory, while practicality and application are at best, tools to promote Google, Microsoft and the credit industry among others.
The added focus on American borders, language, and upright culture in our education system are virtually non-existent today with the emphasis instead being on climate change agenda lessons, driven into the youngest of minds, while those at the middle to senior grade level's are taught how to put a condom on a cucumber and about the "virtues of tolerance" for historically degenerate and abominable behaviors.
Today in America a meaningful education is shunned by the embedded marxists who preach against our culture as being the propaganda of a colonialist social construct, made possible by a lineage of strictly white, racist slave traders and "greedy capitalists"....
Make no mistake..... No matter how untrue, this is an offensive strategic advance on the destruction of our blessed nation by the enemies of Liberty and Justice and must be stopped at all cost!
Covid19, election/voter fraud and mask mandates, along with other forms of communist based interference are simply tools of negative conditioning and demoralization that are projected upon our youth to detonate our distinct American Unity from within. This must not be tolerated!
FIGHT AGAINST SUCH ACTIVITIES LIKE AN AMERICAN! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Chuck Yeager would approve! ❤ 🇺🇸
Sometime between 1988 and 1992 the A&E network had a series called "BIOGRAPHY" and one time they did a show about Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier. I quickly called my sister, and told her to watch it. She asked me why I thought that she would be interested in it. I told her that what she was watching was October 14, 1947... The very day/date she was born! I asked her "How many people get to see what happened the day they were born?"
Chuck Yaeger another hero. Where have all these men gone. RIP
God Bless you Sir. You will be missed by all. You encouraged us that the sky was not the limit.
God speed General!
RIP Hero !
State of the art gear for 1946. General Yeager knew he would break the mach. A few Americans change the world for the better. Yeager was a true warrior in every sense of the word. Courage of his magnitude is rare and nation's that stop making them have a major malfunction. Oh, and the props on th6 b29 were incredible! Thanks
RIP. Wax the barn old mate.
My father in was an Air Plane Mechanic during WW2, I have many of his old books. Been a fan of Chuck Yeager, at his passing I just re-read his autobiography published in 1986. What an amazing life. Crazy that he outlived his first wife by 30 years and outlived one of his sons. RIP General Yeager.
Chuck Yeager : Hey Ridley, you got any Beeman's?
Jack Ridley : Yeah, I think I got me a stick.
Chuck Yeager : Lone me some, will you? I'll pay you back later.
Jack Ridley : Fair enough.
Probably the best conversation of the whole movie.
RIP Chuck!
R.I.P. to an absolute badass.
He put the wild in wild blue yonder! RIP General Yeager.
Right stuff, bro! Thnx King Rose Archives!
Thanks for posting this historical documentary.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Today is March 1, 2020, and Chuck Yeager is still alive. He turned 97 years old two weeks ago. I was 3 years old when he broke the sound barrier, and I am just hoping to out live him.
Great video. I got to see and hear* Chuck Yeager break the sound barrier a few times in the mid 90s while I was a teenager. Me and my dad would go to the annual Edwards Air Force base air show an hour or two away from Los Angeles every year for a couple years in a row. It was always a treat to see that! I love your channel.
What fun. Thanks for watching and letting us know you like what we're doing. Much appreciated.
Fly high Sir🛩️
Chuck Yeager was from West Virginia, and lived in East Liverpool Ohio for awhile not to far from football coach Lou Holtz. His Nephew Steve Yeager played baseball at Meadowdale high school in Dayton Ohio while growing up and later was the main catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1970s.
Respect MONSIEUR CHUCK YEAGER !
An Icon. RIP.
R.i.p Captain Yeager
That hero had a set of balls the size of basketballs. Imagine the guts he had to do this and many other feats! He didn’t have to wonder if he accomplished anything in his life. Rest easy sir.
Test pilots at muroc had a 1 in 4 fatality rate. He not only survived years of testing everything, but he was top dawg so he was given all the highest profile (i.e. dangerous) programs, and he still made it through. I’m sure there was some luck involved, but he must have been damned good.
I only met him once, when he was hired to do a short video for the AARP. He was difficult to work with. Always challenging everything. It felt like he was looking for any weakness and seeing any advantages. Not for any good reason but that's how he operated and probably that hyper alertness kept him alive when he was in combat or testing airplanes.
@@KingRoseArchives welcome to working with test pilots 😁
@@KingRoseArchives Good enough just don't cut it.
99% of people are able to get by at their jobs at It's Good Enough!
Top fuel drag racers are another occupation operating at another level.
This video is a gem... RIP Chuck Yeageer✈️ he used to go hunting down under 👍🇳🇿
It's been over 70 years and still is cool to watch
Godspeed Mr. Yeager. Thank you for contributions to Science and mankind.
AMAZING OLD SCHOOL FOOTAGE
So awesome. Blows my mind to move that fast.
Chuck Yeager,a pilots pilot and a mans man and an all around badass... Rip sir and sunny skies,favorable winds and fly high!
RIP Chuck
Hermosas e históricas imágenes.
A finales de los años 60 , era un niño aun , pero filmaciones como éstas , han mantenido en el tiempo , mi pasión e interés en el mundo de la aviación experimental.
Filmaciones de éste tipo , en blanco y negro o a color , siempre que sean de ésta época , serán mi fuente de inspiración y me harán sentir niño , siempre.
MUCHAS GRACIAS.
Chuck Yeager....the best pilot I ever saw..🙂
God Speed Mr. Yeager
A true pioneer
Just think about it back then it was so hard to do this but now we can do this in just a few seconds ready in piece mr Yeager
4:03 "Put the spurs to her, Chuck!"
A real hero!! RIP Chuck Yeager
Your legend will live on long after you are gone. Gen. Yeager. RIP Sir.
This is amazing now and was oh! Mazing then. Happy to be on the planet then.
They once thought that an airplane would be broken into pieces if it broke the sound barrier.
Because it would be, if designed incorrectly
Theodore von Karman brought back a treasure trove of supersonic data from the German Luftfahrtforschungsanstalt high speed research labs in Brauschweig.
It was the only large diameter supersonic wind facility in world during WW2
Shake hands all round men!
the mans gonna live to be over a 100.
Wrong , he's immortal , death doesn't want him!
le bailli des savoies he’s too powerful to die
Chuck Yeager is going to live to be Mach 1
Wrong he died today
Are you also here after hearing the news R.I.P
I’m the first to say RIP Chuck yeager 🙏🏽
The TOP GUN ...and from West Va❤👍
From Chuck Yeager, leather and right stuff to Harry Styles wearing skirts and pumps in one generation.
Take your gender politics someplace buddy, this ain't about you
Eh, most people don't dress like Harry Styles. Instead they dress like "Lil Uzi."
legend
Thanks a amazing man and American icon.
Hey, Ridley....Ya got a stick of Beemans? I'll pay you back later!
Real men.
Amazing 😉
Thx for the wonderful video 🙏🏻
So was this the first sonic boom / it was observed before also ?
No/Yes
Esse foi o cara da força aérea americana, parabéns Chuk
God speed Chuck Yeager 🇺🇲
OCT 1947 = actual event
JUN 1948 = made public
JAN 1949 = first US Postal cover...
Now you’re flying up to heaven! RIP
BALLS OF STEEL & WHAT MADE AMERICA SO DAMN UNIQUE, ITS A DIFFERENT KIND OF 'STUFF', HE DID IT ALL CRAZY HE DIDNT GET THE 1ST WALK IN SPACE SO MUCH IS OWED TO VERY FEW WHO DID WHAT THEY & HE DID. HOW I WOULD LOVE TO ASK HIM A HUNDRED NO A THOUSAND QUESTIONS, I STAND & SALUTE U SIR.
With two broken ribs he broke the sound barrier......May he live to see man break the speed of light next.
I just found out...this is my family 🤗🤗 wow...amazing!!!
EREN YEAGER
One stick of Beemans for the Spam in a Can 😉
Mc queen: i am speed
Charles chuck yeager: i am fast than sounds
Sacré bonhomme 👍👍👍👍
RIP Chuck Yeager
They made a movie The Right Stuff about all that!
RIP General Yeager.
RIPPPPPPPPPPP
RIP
75th anniversary today!
Thanks for posting this clip, mind if I use this for a project at school?
:D
Star Trek Enterprise intro sequence 0'54"
À jamais le premier !
I am wondering where you found this video.Could you please reply?Thank you.
Times change. The USAF once produced films like this for history purposes but not anymore.
Do you have the citation for the original film from Air Force archives?
rip
YES!!!!!! 🤤
Rip
His name is so fucking perfect for this
Merica!
Adequate clearance was required for the balls of the pilot to enter the aircraft.
Rip America will remember you
The Bell XS-1 incorporated many concepts from the Miles M.52 including the cockpit-adjustable tailplane incidence mechanism. Despite General Yeager’s assertion that he and Lt. Jackie L Ridley built this into the aircraft. Sure, they worked out that adjusting the whole tailplane in flight was the clue to exceeding the speed of sound. Drawings of the XS-1 clearly show the mechanism and the sliding plates on the inboard stabiliser ends.
That's an internet myth. The x1 preceeded the m-52.
Bollocks mate, the m.52 never existed, it's a fairytale...
Pure British science fiction.
FALSE, Britain did not invent the Horizontal Stabilator, itsbeen around since the Wright Flyer.
The Messerschmitt Me-262 was the first jet aircraft to use a fly-by-wire Horizontal Stabilator system to counteract the effects of compressiblity and Mach tuck in high transonic flight.
Thanks to Jack Riddleys former teacher, Theodore von Karman he was given the data on the Me-262 and built a nearly exact copy of the Me-262's analog fly-by-wire Horizontal Stabilator system used to control the Bell X-1 at the speed of sound.
