Speed question

Which british aircraft was first to officially break Mach2?

 

euhm, shouldn't this not be better in the quiz-section :-?

 

EE Lightning:
According to Wiki (usual disclaimer)

Only if it is a quiz rather than a request for information. Possibly belongs more in the aviation section though.

 

Indeed it does

 

I thought it was a new quiz about speeds and speedrecords. I never thought it was a normal question.
Last days i'm getting confused in these kind of things and that is odd, i mostly get confused during the studying for my exams but my summer-exams are already over. :-?

 

Mus be a new 'medical' condition- student-brain

Kinda like 'Mommy Brain'.

 

Most of my friends have the same thing. During the exam period they forget and/or misinterpreted the simple things.
Must be all the complex matters we have to study. You always think about complex things and find it hard to remember a simple thing.

 

You wouldn't happen to be an engineer would you?

 

why, do you want a list of all the bridges and tunnels i'm going to make?
No, i'm studying Biomedical sciences. I'm not smart enought to handel all the math and fysics those engineers have to learn

 

No, just a classic stereotype about engineers....they don't get the simple stuff.

 

Yes they do!

 

I'm an engineer.
What does "simple" mean?

 

Everyone else. :lol:

 

You would describe it as "extremly complex, something mankind can't solve and isn't related to astrofysics"

 

As an ex-engineer (they made me management*) I must say I like Simon's definition better. As in, all non-engineers are simple minded, just to be clear.

*Didn't actually hurt that much, but the straw they used to suck out my brains left a scar on my ear.
