8 Aircraft That Have Broken The Sound Barrier

Dozens of aircraft types have broken the sound barrier, far too many to list here. These include almost all fighter jets, many military trainers, various experimental aircraft, and various strategic bombers. For the sake of brevity, fighter jets, experimental aircraft, trainers, and retired bombers will be excluded from this list. However, the list will include the famous North American X-15 rocket plane as the only manned aircraft to fly hypersonically.
