According to Star Trek (where the idea for warp became common if not where it was created) it will be achieved on stardate 50893.5 or April 4, 2063 after the fallout of world war III. The first craft to reach warp1 will be The S.S. Phoenix piloted by Dr. Zefram Cochrane
== == From what I remember, impulse speed was used to dock and leave a space station; so it would make sense that this form of movement has a low velocity (try parking a car at 80mph). Warp speed is supposedly faster than the speed of light, I think... So warp speed is faster than impulse speed. Warp speed, as above, is faster than light, whereas impulse speed is used to move around within a sector of space. Warp speed is much, much faster. According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, which uses the Okuda warp scale, impulse speed is 1/4 lightspeed, or 270 million km/h. Warp 1 is lightspeed, or 1078 million km/h. Any warp factor is considerably faster than impulse (or "sublight") engines.
Warp drive is a faster than light propulsion system used in Star Trek. Warp 9 is 1516 times the speed of light ( about) This is 454485366 kilometers per second. At this speed it would take only .66 minutes to cross our entire solar system so bluckle your seat belt!
Nope.The forces holding the tractor beam particles together cannot withstand the forces generated by traveling at warp speed.The Above is FalseTractor beams were generally only used at sub-warp velocities. To safely tow a vessel at warp speed, the target vessel's engines had to be deactivated to avoid shearing forces against towing vessel. A tractor beam could be used at warp speed only if both vessels' speeds were exactly matched. (TNG: "Final Mission", "The Emissary")http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Tractor_beamFranny
The maximum speed of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D is Warp 9.65.
A warp engine is the main way a starship from Star Trek travels. A warp engine has a antimatter-matter reaction in a chamber with the fictional style dilithium crystal chamber. The engines cause space-time in front of the ship to become less dense and behind to become more dense, propelling the ship to a max of warp 9.9995 (almost 10,000 times the speed of light).

The method for achieving warp speed in Star Trek is to warp the space around the vessel and leave the vessel in a pocket of normal space. It contracts space time in front of the vessel and expands the space time behind it.
It was so hot that the plastic cover began to warp. A spacecraft equipped with a warp drive may travel at velocities greater than that of light by many orders of magnitude The star ship Enterprise can do a maximum speed of warp ten. Each individual warp thread in a fabric is called a warp end.
The Captain, dilithium crystals, and warp speed.
Speed of light (in a vacuum) = 186,282 miles per second.186,282 * 60 (sec) * 60 (min) = 670,615,200The Speed of light in MPH is = 670,615,200 mph
Warp speed is faster than the speed of Light. Warp 1 is the speed of light and warp 2 is 10X the warp 3 is 27X and it increases by a power of 3 for every level. At warp 5 for example you could make to the closest star Proxima Centauri 4.22 lights years away. It would take hours instead of years to get there, but the power needed to generate that kind of speed would be enormous. Warp is so fast that objects come to you through a distress in space. For generating this we would have to concentrate energy so vast to distort space time. Also known as wormhole movement explained by Einstein's law of relativity.
Yes, warp speed is a theoretical concept in science fiction that allows for faster-than-light travel. It involves bending or warping spacetime to facilitate faster travel between points in space. While the physics of warp speed are not currently achievable based on our understanding of the laws of physics, they are a popular topic in science fiction.
No. Our species does not possess the technology for faster than light speed.
