synopsis

Ever faster, ever higher Supersonic traces 70 years of human ambition and technological daring, from Chuck Yeagers historic breaking of the sound barrier in 1947 to modern NASA and civilian jet projects promising transatlantic travel in just 3.5 hours. Once deemed unbreakable, the sound barrier spurred engineers to design increasingly innovative engines, launching a dizzying race for speed that pushed pilots and aircraft to the limits. Today, supersonic flight is routine for military jets, but it began with heroic pioneers risking everything to reach Mach 1. The film follows the epic evolution of supersonic aviation through iconic aircraft such as the Blackbird SR-71, Mirage IV, MiG-23, F-22 Raptor, and Concorde. Filmed inside leading museums and research centers, and featuring NASA, Lockheed Martin, Aerion Supersonic, Dassault Aviation, the French Navy, and the US Air Force, it reveals the secrets behind these technological marvels. With expert testimony and rare archival footage, viewers experience the thrill of speed, including a supersonic Rafale flight with French Navy pilot Babouc. Fasten your seat beltsMach 1, Mach 2, Mach 3 await. A 1 x 60 version is also available.
