October the 14^th, to me, is the most important day in the history and advancement of supersonic flight. There were many research projects before the concord, even though it mustered a lot of attention as if it just occurred suddenly. Going back to 1947...Captain Charles "Chuck" Yeager becomes the 1^st person to fly faster than sound. Yeager "broke the sound barrier" in his Bell X-1 airplane, The Glamorous Glennis, named after his wife. He was able to reach 670-mph or Mach 1.015 at Muroc Dry Lake, California. (AYY)
