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.
