I think the outer tip of a long wip may break the sound barrier, but it may be even

I should have read the whole post before responding .50 caliber machine gun
bullet. The first man-made object to break the sound barrier would
probably be either a round ball from a muzzle loading rifle,
No, not defeatism. Not nothing left to invent. Just some things can't

I'd guess that it was some sort of bullet or cannon projectile.

A standard black powder charge in a muzzle loading rifle or musket of 250
years ago could have a muzzle velocity of up to Mach 2, though most were
about Mach 1.5. Percussion revolvers (.45 cal., 8 barrel) of the U.S. civil
war had a muzzle velocity of around Mach 1 (1100 - 1200 fps). All the
Probably a bull whip!

I believe this is correct. The sound of the whipcrack is apparently
a type of sonic boom.

Thanks for sharing... definitely some nice shots there. Rutan's designs do

First rate photography, equal to and often better than the press offerings
and the official Space Ship One site. Richards website is mighty impressive
too.
