Did you hear what their preconceived notions about the sound barrier were? Just think what it will be like when we go faster then light?

Germany had rocket planes during WW2. Did they go faster then sound?

What came first the Grumman X-29 or the Romulan Bird of Prey? I'm not able to find any sort of link between them.

The X-29 was like in 1984 so it was the Romulan Bird of Prey that came first with its swept forward wings.

Going at 700 mph they came incredibly close to the speed of sound.
