What Would Really Happen If You Ejected At Mach 10

Hurling a pilot out of a plane that's traveling at hypersonic speed — totally believable? Or nothing but a Top Gun trick?

Neil needs to stay in his own area of expertise, but he just can't do it. The military does not recommend even bailing out at supersonic speed. Flying at super high altitudes has limited applications, so therefore would not be a lot of aircraft manufactured to incorporate special ejection pods due to cost and weight impacting performance. Piloted aircraft at Mach ten is being evaluated but not useful, the only active aircraft in service with a pod is the F-111. Good technical video.

Someone implied doing mach 10 would liquify you. Nope. Not at all. Someone is confusing G forces and mach speed not understanding either.

The ISS travels at 17k mph or about mach 22. The apollo space capsule returning from the moon at 25k mph or about mach 32. Astronauts actually doing space walks at mach 22 on the ISS.

And the technology exists to eject from the Dark Star at mach 10 given certain circumstances.

Cameraman always survives😉🤗

you'd become like Russian vodka, Smirnoff. if encapsulated it would be plausible

If you bailed out at that speed your body would be broken instantly as soon as the resistance hit you. I just dont see how anyone could survive bailing out at even half of that. I may be wrong but i hope nobody ever has to prove it.

Guy didn't research SR72 darkstar before he made this

Do you have any idea how fast a space shuttle goes ? It exceeds mach 10, like, let's say, mach 22

So, to say the United States has no aircraft that are hyper sonic aircraft is not true because the space shuttle is a hyper sonic aircraft !

You misunderstand... He died when he went down... The entire movie is a purgatory "dream"
