How fast is Mach 0.85?
Mach number is dependent on a number of factors. Factors such as air density or altitude will change the Mach number. At approximatively 45 000 ft Mach 0.85 =289.2361 m/s = 1041.25 km/h = 647.0028 mph
What is the Mach number at the throat section of a converging diverging nozzle?

The collective nouns for aeroplanes are a flight of aeroplanes or a squadron of aeroplanes.
What is critical mach number?
Critical Mach Number, or Mcr, refers to the lowest Mach number that air going over and around an aircraft can reach the speed of sound. If an airplane goes over its Mcr, handling might be greatly affected.
Why are aeroplanes made in streamlined form?
Aeroplanes are built streamlined to increase their flight efficiency. A number of other reasons are involved, but this is the main reason.
How fast is Mach 1 Mach 2 Mach 3 Mach 4 etc to the fastest Mach level on record?
The mach number is the speed, compared to the speed of sound in air. Thus, mach 1 is the speed of sound, mach 2 is twice (2 times) the speed of sound, mach 3 is 3 times the speed of sound, etc.
What is the collective noun for aeroplanes?
Collective nouns for aeroplanes are a flight of aeroplanes or a squadron of aeroplanes..
