Moreover, until now humans have only managed to break the sound barrier using aircraft as a vehicle,
which shows just how difficult this milestone is for humanity.
A supersonic fighter jet requires countless genius scientists, dedicating their entire lives to create it. Whether it's the power, aerodynamics, or the pilot's skill, all need to reach the pinnacle of today's human technology to allow a fighter jet to cruise at supersonic speeds.
Yet Wang Ye, somehow broke the sound barrier with skiing without any prior warning?
Based on previous human experience, even if downhill skiing is done with great proficiency, the top speed is only about 200 kilometers per hour, far from the speed of sound. Therefore, most scientists never even considered that skiing could break the sound barrier.
