“On October 14, 1947, the Bell X-1 became the first airplane to fly faster than the speed of sound. Piloted by U.S. Air Force Capt. Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager, the X-1 reached a speed of 1,127 kilometers (700 miles) per hour, Mach 1.06, at an altitude of 13,000 meters (43,000 feet). Yeager named the airplane "Glamorous Glennis" in tribute to his wife.”

i cant be the only one with adblock problems. Im getting these credit card ads and i don't understand why.
The ad is in the video and you have to block the whole video to remove that ad, smartass!
It.s because they are part of the video, everybody has them
That's because the ad is in the video itself and not traditional google ads.
does nobody get sarcasm? omg the world is full of idiots.
MrTommymxr And exactly that is the reason i gave you an answer
Why do you people care so much about who host each video? it's not about which host looks better but the information they are providing for us so that we can learn something new. You guys in the comments act like this is a modeling contest on which host looks the best. This is a educational channel, not a modeling channel. Get your selfishness and ego's out of your asses and learn something other then judging the person teaching you something...and that is all.
I watch almost every educational youtube channel on here (vsauce-sci show-testube-dnews-crashcourse ect) and some do lopk odd but do I really care no good point
***** I agree that there may be better host on this channel, but I don't think it's too much to be worked up over. I never found anyone to be annoying or too over the top. But what does bother me slightly is the odd jokes they would slap out at us at the beginning of almost every Dnews video. They don't seem to do that often now, but a month ago it did kind of bother me lol.
Ha, learning? I don't think those idiots are capable of doing such a thing.
AmazingGryphon Then they shouldn't be here.
AmazingGryphon That is a bit overly insulting don't you think? At least we all make an effort here to learn and to watch the videos.
I would love to break the sound barrier
I wonder what it looks like when you break the light barrier.
+mEtAlMaNiAc787 probably pure blackness, considering light hasn't reached you yet
+mEtAlMaNiAc787 well you can't
+mEtAlMaNiAc787 If something were traveling faster than the speed of light, such as an airplane made of neutrinos, you wouldn't see it until after it had gone past you. Any light it emitted would be trailing behind in its wake. You would not see the neutrino plane until after it has gone past - and then only if it contained something that reflected or emitted light. And just as a plane passing through the sound barrier emits a sonic boom, a superluminal craft passing through light speed would emit a flash of light.
+TrizoParzo14 100 Makes sense except the last part. The sound barrier creates the sonic boom because of the high pressure of sound waves vaporizing the air I believe. Will there be a pressure caused by electromagnetic waves too? and I think if not then it would just look like a sonic boom since you are also breaking the sound barrier while breaking the light barrier
Might teleport to another dimension tbh lol
Her: science science science blah blah blah... Me: ha "D" news
Deez nuts
Funny
Well they touched on the title subject of their video for like 5 seconds near the end. Seriously, they spent more time trying to sell their crappy card, twice. They never really explained the survivability of breaking the sound barrier with a human body. How much force is exerted on these free fallers when they break the sound barrier? How loud is it? Why are the pressure suits necessary? They explained that the speed of sound is lower at higher altitudes, which is good but they never mentioned how terminal velocity is higher at higher altitudes. Honestly if I had handed a video like this in high school science, I probably would have gotten a mid 60% on it (that about a "C" in letter grades).
yea was annoyed by this as well. The title of the video does not match the content, if I knew I was going to get 1.5 min of lecture on what the speed barrier is I would have not clicked this video, not to mention the 1min of advertisement I skipped. This video did not even scratch the surface of what the title implied.
I wonder what breaking the sound barrier sounds like? Is it quiet?
Well you would hear a sonic boom when you break the sound barrier.
I have watched jet cockpit videos and it's not quiet per say but the pilot doesn't hear the boom or anything, it just sounds normal with kinda loud wind sound since the plane is going so fast.
Sonic booms aren't quiet at all, but once traveling at supersonic speeds it would generally be significantly quieter since the engine noise cannot propagate through the outside air (only through the inside air and solid materials)
Quinn Nijhuis no you wouldn't cause you're faster than the sound...
"sounds" like it would sound pretty peaceful...
The levels of intelligence below, vary from non to minimal.
Ion That's ironic.
Woah this sounds awesome.
Congrats on one million subs
wow crazy to think about man. very very intense stuff :)
YES. SHE'S BEAUTIFUL. WILL WATCH DNEWS VIDEOS MORE OFTEN NOW. LOVE LIFE.
***** or maybe he just thinks she's cute...
I can't be the only one that thought she said quietly parishes breaking the sound barrier
Time to get my running shoes... Pull off them crazy legs and sound won't know what hit it lol
Rollin' around at the speed of sound, got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow.
gotta go fast *sonic rushes past*
Very intriguing.
Can't stop looking at...
When I clicked on this video, I was hoping to hear an explanation as to what could happen if you were "unprotected" by these suits. I know very little about aerodynamics so I'm only guessing that the pressure would act as an explosion causing bone and organ damage from the concussive force.
Also, what does it sound like; do you hear a sound?
love the video. a small suggestion: can u guys place metric unit in the screen when u talk about imperial unit, only us use such unit and the rest of the world has a very hard time to convert it to metric one.
google is hard to use?
I like SI units as much as the next guy but its an american channel on an american website talking about an american guy in america trying to appeal to americans... why should it be in metric again?
@@BenJaminLongTime he never asked for everything to be in metric, just to add a little subtitle of sorts to show what the conversion is in metric.
oh my god, what beauty!
Heeeeeelllllooooo I like this host :D
Tut tut tut
Greedo stfu. Simple bitch. HAVE A BLOODY GOLD MEDAL.
That's weird. I know a girl named Amy who looks exactly like this Amy... But this Amy is cuter cause she's with DNews
Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin Somehow I'm a bundle of sticks for loving beautiful women... I don't know how that's the case sir, but I'll take your word for it :)
I would love to try jumping out of the plane and break the sound barrier or time barrier, I think it would be fun to try it
In the intro jingle I can hear someone saying "One!"
"theres more to going super sonic than just speed" FIND THE CHAOS EMERALDS!
You cant parachute at that speed. There is a thing called terminal velocity.
Jesus Christ DNews! You answer your own title question within 2 seconds of your show. (shaking head)
Well I would if I could but idk if my mom would let let me.....
"Terminal velocity achieved, terminal velocity achieved" - E.D.D.Y
The skydiver you showed when talking about a pressure suit was infact wearing a normal jumpsuit.
Great news! i can now try flying at mach 1 without the fear of getting my body torn apart!.
I think this needs to be studied more by people who are of course willing to take the highest leaps o faith
Do a video on light years and how they work
BAMMM!!1!!
welp there goes the sound barriers
Would it be possible to get metric units alongside imperial like in other videos. I'm sure us folks in Canada and Europe would appreciate it. Very nifty!
I have always wondered what method of propulsion Superman uses
when your falling can you here or is sound behind you ?
If you fall at that speed you are breaking the sound barrier at a very high speed .But that doesn't mean that you are out of tha audiobility range (20-20000hz)
Yeah, I'd do that, but I think that a new record for highest parachute deployment would be even more fun than hitting (and not feeling) Mach 1. Bullets and meteors effortlessly break the sound barrier, as do aircraft of many types... so not a big deal.
Imagine deploying a steerable chute at 100,000 feet? I may have to be ejected at lower altitude for a smaller chute, but it would push engineering limits (helpful for Mars landings) and provide for a spectacularly scenic ride down.
So I propose: The slowest heavier-than-air fall, from highest altitude, with sub-records of time with chute deployed above 100,000 feet, and maximum altitude reached.
Those eyes ....
Felix did it!
I came to see someone fall and break the fucking sound barrier.
*"would you make a super sonic jump?"...* ha.. haha...hahahahahaha?!
Its interesting how easily the appearance of a host can change the mind set of so many people. Seems to most that sex is more intriguing than general education.
thanks
Yes , my friend Daegan would like to jump! :)
How HigH does a plane go? And why can we hear it all the way from in side are House?
Where's the 60fps??
Haha, we just talked about this in school.
Did you guys also know that sound travels much slower in a thinner atmosphere?
everything can survive the sound barrier for an example a few studens in a tech school made a ping pong ball go faster than the speed of sound it dident break before it actualy hit something
Will have to watch it again. Did not hear anything after she said "long and hard". XD
If a parachuter is going faster than sound and shouts someting. Will he hear himself when he slows down to slower than sound just after he shouted? Because when he shouts he is going faster than the sound of his shout so when he slows down, the sound will catch up on him. And when the sound has caught up on him he will hear himself shouting. Or doesnt science work like this?
Am I the only one here who would space jump right now if some engineers showed up randomly at my door with a suit and a balloon? Too frickin' cool!
IanCaine4728 I'd want a drogue and skydiving experience first, as well as canopy control lessons!
There is not a human terminal speed but there is a terminal aceleration.
I was kinda thinking like the flash what if a human was able to run fast enough and break the sound barrier and creat a sonic boom would they be able to survive it?
hell yeah, i would.
I would love to try, unfortunately my body breaks just by walking. I know this because recently I just broke my heal bone BY WALKING at work.... So sad a life. :(
Yes. I'd jump from as high as was deemed survivable.
How does it sound like when you do the super sonic jump. I mean what will you hear (" you " is the jumper)
***** not how it works. You are going so fast that your "shockwave" doesn't expand in front of you anymore. You are however not escaping from the dimension where sound exists. You will still hear a lot of very loud noise because sound will still be able to travel through your body, and you will still be able to pick up sounds travelling from sources in front of you.
Your statement is analogous to saying "I'm travelling faster than a wall, so I can't crash!"
my god I would love to make a jump like that...
thickness..... SUPER THICC
And unless you knew, you can't break the sound barrier or even fall close to that speed unless you go very high up, like +30km up.
I call the channel Seeker now !
how fast is sound barrier?
OMG the comments ^_^
You're wrong about that plane breaking the sound barrier first, the german Me-262 did it first during the end of WW2. April 9th 1945 to be exact.
Pistol Scrimp did it first, Nazi's are just copy cats.
HAH D-news XD!! "welcome to the D -news"
*YES
Biggest thing this video teaches us is that only CEOs and millionaires can break the sound barrier.
She deliver more content and actual science than Laci which occasionally slip in some "social justice". I like the new hosts.
oh hell yeah I want to skydive from 127000 ft!
There, you look a lot taller when you're not standing next to Trace.
please, i break the sound barrier all the time. my car is just that fast.
If only he had a rainbow dyed hair and suit, he could've broken the spectrum barrier and be the first guy to create a sonic-rain-boom. Right D-News?
That would be an amazing NASA attraction. Let people be in a plane while it breaks mach 1. I'd pay up if it was possible.
why was this a 2:36 video and the question of the video was only answered in the last like 12 seconds in like 3 words with ONE photo of a potential suit to survive the sound barrier? This video is not titled correctly with that of the content.
what happens to the air molecules after the supersonic speed has been reached?
The compressed molecules I think move out as a single sound wave, causing the "boom" we hear, and keeps going until it looses all it's energy and we can't hear it anymore.
Yes I understand that is what happens during the sonic boom, but what happens after mach one has already been passed? "The air molecules dont move out of the way fast enough" Okay,so what do they do instead?
Leonard Greenpaw I think they group up in one big bunch, since the sound waves of the air are moving the same speed of the plane all of the sound forms a single wave composed of all the sound frequencies that jet is producing and makes one big sound, instead of multiple spread out sounds. That's how I understand it anyway.
You could have at least use an image of the real suit he used instead of that stock one. B- for the lack of depth too.
I would love to do jump!
what about breaking the sound barrier in space ? is that possible ?
It's the first time ever I see DNews as.. you know.. the D news.. ;)
Ahem!
...And that's just because Amy was hosting it. Don't take i personally gurl. xD
Is there a sonic boom associated with a high-altitude jump?
I might
wtf and i thought me jumping from 10000 feet was a big deal lol
I have a question about this. When such a person breaks the sound barrier does it affect there body in any ways?
Not with a properly protective suit on. Without proper protection I think one's eardrums would be destroyed, and a person might suffocate as well if left long enough.
So, can you survive breaking the sound barrier without that suit?
And if you can, how much much trauma would you suffer?(extreme to mild/none?)
I'd guess/assert that absolutely you'd survive. That said, it would be extremely difficult or impossible to breathe, and your eardrums would be destroyed. If it was a long enough time one would probably die of breathing difficulties (suffocation).
Imagine the whiplash from the parachute.
SinerAthin Yes. However, you'd need some sort of helmet mask to assist with your breathing. John Stapp travelled at something like 600mph in a sled with no pressure suit, which was equivalent to around Mach 0.8
+SinerAthin At high altitude? You'd probably suffocate. Falling from 100,000 feet it takes almost a minute to reach an altitude where even breathing pure oxygen could keep you alive even if you ignore the effects of atmospheric drag - and you couldn't hold your breath before getting out of the capsule because the pressure imbalance would tear your lungs apart. You'd definitely pass out from hypoxia, and the low pressure would boil the fluid in your lungs making it impossible to take in oxygen until the membranes rehydrated (I don't know how long that would take). You MIGHT survive if you were using an oxygen mask, but there could be a risk of brain damage.
At low altitude? A pressure suit wouldn't save you. One man survived ejecting from a fighter jet at 800 MPH and 3,000 feet, and even though he was only supersonic for a fraction of a second and he was wearing a pressure suit, helmet, etc. the force of the air ripped his helmet off, caused massive bruising in his face, and broke or dislocated three of his limbs, nearly ripping them off. Without a protective suit you might well bleed to death from the trauma caused.
You might be able to survive without injury if you were wearing a very durable suit and your limbs were all either strapped against a seat to prevent any movement or were locked in place by the suit itself, but at that point it becomes less a suit and more of a powered exoskeleton in the same way that the craziest deep-sea diving suits are really more of small submarines that fit the shape of your body.

It is their job to convey accurate information.
If we users do their job it is not helping the cause.
This is part of Discovery channel, not a simple youtube channel. Therefore, expectations are higher.
9/10 times I would agree with what you said, but in this case they may not know what they got wrong, if anything, and pointing it out will aid them to teach others. Yes this may seem to make their job easier but does it? it means they have to re-shoot it, and waste time and money doing so. That'll be their lesson to get it right next time :)
Tl;dr "I am an expert, this video is wrong you should have consulted an expert. I won't tell you because you need to learn yourself...
Yeas, in fact, I would.

SONIC RAINBOOM!!!!!!!
Sorry, I'm an MLP fan :T
400
....okay
if u break the sound bearrier its quiet because ur going faster than sound
lol
no need to fear The Flash is here
She's reaallly cute! 😍
well...time to get used to this new intro 0:19
uuuuuuuuuuuuugle i want the other host
Yeah yeah yeah man someone parachuted from over 100,000 ft. Totally not dead or anything 😬
what is her name
