Personal Fact of Chuck Yeager | |
Charles Elwood Chuck Yeager, a retired brigadier general in the U.S. Air Force, is a very famous test pilot who was the first person to officially break the sound barrier. He became the first person in the history of aviation to travel faster than sound when he flew the Bell X-1 in level flight in 1947. He had enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps to serve in World War II immediately after his graduation from high school. He began his career as a private and worked up his way to become a fighter pilot. So great was his love for flying that he became a test pilot and instructor for the United States Air Force after the war and flew many types of aircraft including experimental rocket-powered aircraft. During those times it was not even known if it was possible for a fixed-wing aircraft to fly faster than sound. Yeager proved that it was possible when he broke the sound barrier as he flew the rocket-powered X-1 fighter plane in October 1947. He set a new air speed record of 1650 mph more than twice the speed of soundin 1952. He later on commanded the Air Force Aerospace Research Pilots School where he trained future astronauts. |
