Basic: Mach is a measurement of the speed of sound in air. Therefore, mach6 is six times the speed of sound in air.

761.2 * 6 = 4,567.2 mile/hour (mph)

More in depth:

"Mach" is a relative measurement of speed and fluid temperature.

Here are some examples of Mach 6:

  • Mach 6 at sea level (0 feet) is 4,567.3 mph (CAS) and 4,567.3 mph (TAS)
  • Mach 6 at FL 50 (Flight Level 50,000) is 3,147.97 mph (CAS) and 3,960.31 mph (TAS)

CAS = Calibrated Air Speed. The speed which a instrument in the plane would show.

TAS = True Air Speed. The actual speed of the object relative to the medium it is traveling in.
