Chuck Yeager was the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound. He achieved this in 1947.
he did this by breaking the sound barrier (also known asthe sound of speed)
the gravitional pull from the heavy object was making it fall to the ground faster and at a more radical speed
The first date of ice skating has been lost in the annals of history. There have been crude ice skate found in Finland from about 4,000 years ago. For more history, read the link below.
The world's first printer, the typesetter developed by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century, was later followed by various mechanical printing technologies in the 1900s. One notable advancement was the linotype machine, which could set type at a speed of about 1,000 letters per minute. In contrast, early printing presses operated much slower, producing only a few pages per hour. Overall, the speed of printing in the early 1900s marked a significant improvement over previous methods, revolutionizing the publishing industry.
It had great maneuverability and speed due to its light weight which made voyages faster. It was powered by sails(lateen-rigged) which allowed it to(head-to-wind) sail closer to the wind which made it easier to get into windward ports or docks. Being smaller and having a shallow keel,it could sail upriver in shallow caostal waters.
Charles Yeager was the first person ever to pilot an aircraft beyond the speed of sound.

Chuck Yeager is the first person to fly faster than sound (breaking the sound barrier), or MACH 1, on October 14, 1947 during level flight at an altitude of 45,000 ft.

On October 14, 1947, Chuck Yeager became the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound or MACH 1. He accomplished this in the rocket powered aircraft X-1 developed by Bell Aircraft Company.
It was referred to as breaking the sound barrier.
There was not a special name for the first flight that went faster than the speed of sound. However, when a plane does go faster than sound, it said to be traveling at supersonic speeds.
Actually, transonic speed is not a speed faster than that of sound. Transonic speed is approx. Equal to the speed of sound, not faster.
