The amazing things a JATO boost will do, but 5.8333mi/sec isn't one of them.

President Joe Biden has caused confusion after predicting some commercial airplanes could fly at speeds of up to 21,000 miles per hour in the next 10 years, faster than the hypersonic weapons under development by the military.
“We’re going to talk about commercial aircraft flying at subsonic speeds, supersonic speeds, be able to figuratively, if you may, if we decide to do it, be able to traverse the world in an hour, travel at 21,000 miles an hour," Biden said.
The White House has yet to clarify Biden's comments, made during a Wednesday address aimed at promoting his $2.25 trillion infrastructure and jobs spending package.
The speed of 21,000 miles an hour roughly equates to Mach 28, or 28 times the speed of sound.
In comparison, the new AGM-183 Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon, which failed to detach from a B-52H Stratofortress bomber during a U.S. Air Force test launch this week in California, is designed to reach up to Mach 5. The Army and Navy are developing similar ground- and sea-launched hypersonic weapons.
The fastest commercial airplane flies at less than Mach 1.
Some companies, such as Boeing, have been working since 2018 on aircraft that could travel up to Mach 5. Those airliners may not be realized until “before the end of the decade," at least according to rival Aerion, which is exploring its own options.
During his speech Wednesday, Biden pitched his "American Jobs Plan" as a proposal that could help the nation "build for tomorrow."

It’s a shame those 150 million killed by gun violence won’t be able to see this.
Technological ignorance is one of the hallmarks of the Democrat party.
It would burn up in the atmosphere.

Being Biden he can say that. No one will call him on that, because he has said things like that many times. He is just being Biden. That is his strength
These super aircraft will be shaped like Tic Tacs. Biden will fly on Space Force Tic Tac One.
It’s simple. A super plane flying at 21,000 Mph is windmill-powered from all the wind from flying that fast. Biden is a genius! /sarcasm
They are in deep kimchi, but they are so stupid, they probably never thought about that.
I am sure, you are not alone. 👍
Will they be all electric aircraft?
They will have windmills installed on top. The faster they fly, the more power is delivered
Maybe Joan Lunden can send him to “A Place for Joe!”
“Will they be all electric aircraft?”
Windmills
POTATUS.
Ignoramus.
Can you just imagine how many times the propaganda media would show a republican president saying these ridiculous things. Instead, since Biden is a Dem, they cover for him.
At the beginning of the Second World War, Doohan joined the Royal Canadian Artillery and was a member of the 14th (Midland) Field Battery, 2nd Canadian Infantry Division.[10] He was commissioned a Lieutenant in the 14th Field Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division. He was sent to England in 1940 for training. He first saw combat landing at Juno Beach on D-Day. Shooting two snipers, Doohan led his men to higher ground through a field of anti-tank mines, where they took defensive positions for the night. Crossing between command posts at 11:30 that night, Doohan was hit by six rounds fired from a Bren Gun by a nervous Canadian sentry:[2] four in his leg, one in the chest, and one through his right middle finger. The bullet to his chest was stopped by a silver cigarette case given to him by his brother.[7] His right middle finger had to be amputated, something he would conceal on-screen during most of his career as an actor.[11]
Doohan graduated from Air Observation Pilot Course 40 with eleven other Canadian artillery officers[12] and flew Taylorcraft Auster Mark V aircraft for 666 (AOP) Squadron, RCAF as a Royal Canadian Artillery officer in support of 1st Army Group Royal Canadian Artillery. All three Canadian (AOP) RCAF squadrons were manned by artillery officer-pilots and accompanied by non-commissioned RCA and RCAF personnel serving as observers.[13][14]
Although he was never actually a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Doohan was once labelled the “craziest pilot in the Canadian Air Force”. In the late spring of 1945, on Salisbury Plain north of RAF Andover, he slalomed a plane between telegraph poles “to prove it could be done”—earning himself a serious reprimand. (Various accounts cite the plane as a Hurricane or a jet trainer; however, it was a Mark IV Auster.)[15][16]
Just as I suspected. Not only is he demented, he’s getting the numbers from Kamala.
Good point.
They will be sub-orbital.
Bidet’s comment was very clear—he is deeply senile—no further explanation needed.
