Boeing 777 reported at supersonic speeds of up to 745mph

[Jsm]

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;46908409]If you're talking about the 777, it's probably because it's top speed is around 600mph, a little under 745mph it reached. Granted, I don't know if thats true airspeed or indicated.

If you're talking about the T-144, probably because it's a soviet piece of shit. Soviet aircraft have always been notorious for being complete shit. No 2 aircraft can use the same set of spare parts. Every part is different on those birds.[/QUOTE]

A Soviet piece of shit that was if you believe some stories built from stolen (fake) Concorde plans..

[QUOTE=JumpinJackFlash;46911330]Actually, no, it isn't. Speed of sound on the ground is basically going to be the same unless you start climbing into extreme elevations (and in that case your opinion doesn't count go back to your silly mountainhome you dwarf) or something terribly wrong has happened, so saying "faster than the speed of sound" when the groundspeed is what we're going with isn't inaccurate at all.[/QUOTE]

Well, if you go by the speed of sound at sea level in standard conditions, it (as mentioned in the article's second paragraph) [I]still[/I] didn't break the sound barrier, so the title's "[B]at[/B] supersonic speeds" remains inaccurate. I'll mention that the original article says nothing about it actually reaching or surpassing supersonic speeds. The OP just failed the simple task of turning the words "approached supersonic speed" in the first sentence of the article into a thread title.

Reminds me of my flight sim days.
