When Chuck Yeager finally did it, the country realized other breakthroughs were possible. No one thought it was physically possible to break that record. The speed of sound was like the 4 minute mile in foot racing. 816 posts Likes: 2 Joined Jul 2006 Location: NE Indiana. I think the special thing about a plane breaking the sound barrier was that it became possible through technology. Miramar Air Show 2.F-22 Raptor breaking the sound barrier 20 posts, 2 pages 1 2 Next. The problem was building a plane strong enough to resist all of that turbulence before reaching 781 mph. This widely circulated new photo shows an Air Force F-22 Raptor aircraft participating in an exercise in the Gulf of Alaska. Once the plane broke the sound barrier, however, everything stabilized again. The breaking of the sound barrier is not just an audible phenomenon. The same thing happens to rockets, such as Apollo 11 or space shuttles. There was a point below that speed where all of the outside forces would threaten to tear the jet apart. Navy released a spectacular picture of an F-22 fighter jet creating a 'vapor cone' as it approached supersonic speed. He said that was the same idea behind a plane breaking the sound barrier. Once he got up to 85 mph, though, everything became smooth again. Yes, to break Mach1 with dropable tanks be done by F-22 will not surprise me, EF typhoon can break M1 with three 1000L droppable tanks. But largely irrelevant, currently they don't train to go downtown with tanks on. The car started shaking really bad and he was having trouble steering it straight. If the F-22 can go Mach 1.8 clean, it stand to reason it can break Mach 1 with tanks on. the F/A-18F Super Hornet and the F-22 Raptor accelerate past the sound speed and break the sound barrier, creating loud sonic booms on a regular basis. My dad once drove a car on a deserted stretch of highway and got up to 80 mph. At one point in life, distractions and challenges become so unbearable that one would want to give up, but if you prevail, you become a hero or a legend in the end. At a certain level, say speed, a craft becomes so uncontrollable, which makes someone feels that they cant go further, but with bravery and strength, one could go further, exceeding the speed of sound and achieving stability and ease. However, at some point I realized that it has to do with bravery. Breaking the sound limit made no sense to me, the more I tried to understand what it really means.
