Rough thumb calcs: Mach 6 is apx 3K MPH (4K True Airspeed but I’ll use the lower).
Cross the USA: 1 hour 15 minutes
Circumnavigate the globe at the equator: 8 hours
YMMV.
That is movin’ folks.

Anybody know how many G’s this places on the pilot - just in straight, flat trajectory, let alone in turns and dives?
Just curious...

Let’s see, it takes 17,000 MPH for a space craft(using the spin of the earth) to break free of the gravitational field of earth, I would say we already have craft that surpass the 6X speed and then some, of course if you are talking about every day use I hope those pilots have iron gonads.
