If we take another look at the Mach 1 vs. altitude tables already discussed, we see that the speed of sound at 30,000 ft is 678.2 miles per hour. All we have to do is multiply this value by 3 to determine the speed of a vehicle traveling Mach 3 at 30,000 ft in miles per hour. The answer is 2,035 mph.ach number: Mach number is a quantity that defines how quickly a vehicle travels with respect to the speed of sound. The Mach number (M) is simply the ratio of the vehicle's velocity (V) divided by the speed of sound at that altitude (a).
Well, the record for the fastest aircraft is held by the Boeing x-43 scramjet. Scramjets are single-use unmanned aircraft designed to go at hypersonic speeds. The x-43 traveled at 12,144 km/h (7,546 mph), or Mach 9.8, on November 16th, 2004. That is .000405% of the speed of light. And this is a jet that can travel from New York to Los Angeles in 20 minutes. While it takes photons about 8 minutes to travel the distance from the Sun to the Earth â at its furthest, 152 million km (94.4 million miles) â this scramjet traveling at its maximum speed would take about 522 days! The speed of light is really fast, and at this speed some bizarre things start to happen.
