Has a 747 ever broken the sound barrier?

Aircraft are put through extreme testing during their certification, but such limits are never intended to be actually faced. The 747-100, for instance, was tested up to Mach 0.99, almost breaking the sound barrier. Other 747s, such as Air Force One, have approached the sound barrier but never crossed it.

Why does my ps4 sound like a boeing 747?
Why does my PS4 sound like a Boeing 747? PS4 sounds like a jet engine? We were lead to believe by Sony this could be normal, but it isn't. There's also nothing wrong with this sound, it simply means your fans are clogged, and it's an easy fix.

Can a 747 fly on one engine?
While it's very clear that a 747 cannot fly properly with the failure of three engines, we can see that a single functioning engine would at least extend the aircraft's distance and prolong its time in the air.

What is the cruising speed of a 747 in flight simulator?
It claims the Boeing 747 can cruise at like 600 knots, but in game, I can't get it faster than 300. At 35,000ft, the airspeed indicater starts showing anything above 304 as red zone, and gives me warning sounds. This is slower than the game itself said, plus, I know for a fact 747's can cruise faster than 300 knots.
