Mach 10 jet flyby (insane speed)

For those wondering, you’ll never get to see anything like this in real life because of the density of the atmosphere. Mach 10 is only feasible at altitudes of about 40, 000m (130, 000ft). Even just Mach 1 at sea level produces a ton of drag

I guess this makes clear why hypersonic missiles are hard to stop...

And to think that even at this speed, just traveling around our nearby star system would literally take forever at mach 10. And even at the speed of light we’d barely explore this local galaxy.

I saw this and thought to myself, “wow the quality looks like a video game, ” then realised it’s a similation and thought to myself, “wow this looks so realistic, ”

Imagine what a flyby at orbital velocity would look like...

Back in the day (mid '50's) hearing or seeing jets break the sound barrier over head was a daily thing in Southern California where I lived. Then people started suing because of broken glass and such so the military stopped doing the flights over populated areas. It was sure fun as a boy watching those jets go fast and seeing the vapor contrails over head. Thanks for the video.

What always gets me in space games is how traveling at warp speeds somehow makes you immune to any space debris.

"Wanna come over, my parents aren't home?"

MACH1: "Wow, that's a supersonic jet just flew by."
MACH2: "Holy shit, that's super fast."
MACH10: "What was that sound? Hmm... must have been the wind."

Mach 10 is what i thought Mach 1 looked like as a kid

Not only do the motorists have balls of steel with those sonic booms, they can also teleport rite thru one another. Outstanding!

Mach 10 be like: "Don't blink! You'll miss it!"

[FNHaole]

An aircraft the size and shape of an F-18 traveling mach 10 at THAT altitude would leave things looking QUITE different in its sonic wake. (I emphasized “size and shape“, because an actual F 18 would be a cloud of molten debris at those speeds. The object would need properties exceeding those of solid forged tungsten alloy.)

Reminds me of the time a F/A-18 Super Hornet passed by my ship while I was in the Navy. I was on the port side elevator as the jet came barreling in low, at just above eye level for us on the ship. It seemed to float almost silently by, and I swear I saw the pilot look at me. After it passed, then came the boom of it's speed. It was a magical moment.

This is epic, just subscribed notifications bell on!!!

At sealevel, friction heating would make aircraft glow like a fireball. The shockwave would be destructive with catastrophic overpressure to ground structure, vehicles, and personell.

okay, that really puts it into perspective!

[jacobsetser]

I love flying around the SF area, it’s so beautiful!

[arylingga]

The literal definition of: You'll miss it if you blink

The best thing about being around a jet that breaks the sound barrier is not just hearing it, but feeling it. Like a good lightning strike, the thunder is what really gives it the oomf in build up and power that makes it sound as cool as it looks. I love the boom followed by the shaking and rattling of everything in my house as a jet fly's overhead. :D
