Can anybody find and compare this new plane to the photo of the 4th of July "flying object"? As I recall, somebody zoomed it in and circled it on our thread.
I wonder if that was this new plane?
Mach 5
For simplicity we’ll call speed of sound 700 mph Times 5 = 3500 MPH divided by 60 minutes per hour divided by 60 secs per minute
= .972222
We’ll round up to 1
That plane travels 1 mile per second
5280 Feet per sec
literally faster than a speeding bullet
