The "Mach number" is the speed of the aircraft as a percentage of the speed of sound. So an aircraft going at Mach 0.74 is traveling at 74% of the speed of sound. (Mach 0.74 is a typical airliner speed.)

How does a toy airplane works?

Mach 1 is the speed at which you break the sound barrier. The speed of sound, or Mach 1, at sea level and under "standard condition" is:1,116.4 ft/s340.3 m/s761.2 mph1,225.1 km/hRead more: How_fast_do_you_have_to_be_moving_to_break_the_sound_barrier


How fast is mach 2.02 in mph?

Twice the speed of sound. That's the definition of mach number.Mach number is a more useful measurement of speed than miles per hour in some ways (especially if you're designing an airplane), but not so good for answering questions like "So when are we getting to Denver?" since the speed of sound varies depending on the density of the air.the actual speed of mach 2 is 2472 km/h which is twice mach 1 (1236km/h) at this speed the airplane is roughly 2 meters shorter. planes that can travel this fast are;e111-a ravenmig 25 foxbatf22- raptorf22- strike raptoryf 12a blackbirdconcordef 35 c
