- Chuck Yeager was the first person to break the sound barrier back in 1947. But what is a sound a sound barrier? And how did they go about breaking the sound barrier? It was a critical milestone in the history of aviation. And it's not just because "Man Flies Faster Than Sound" was a cool headline. There were major technical difficulties in traveling faster than sound. What are these challenges? Watch the video to find out!

Awesome, greetings from Brazil.
Ben, you have a great way of explaining things that make it easier to understand difficult concepts. Keep it up!
Great video but something to note, you were using the speed of sound at sea level to measure the mach of supersonic aircraft like the Concorde but when they are flying at high altitudes, the speed of sound decreases because it's much colder and the air density is much less so at altitude the Concorde's mach is closer to 2 rather than 1.75.
Super well explained! Greetings from Germany! Just subscribed :)
Danke schön!
