There are currently no aircraft capable of flying mach 5. The fastest ever flown was mach 3.1 by the SR-71 Blackbird.

An aircraft capable of flying 5 times faster than the speed of sound Mach 5?

An aircraft capable of flying at Mach 5 would be considered a hypersonic aircraft. It would travel at approximately 3,836 mph (6,174 km/h) at sea level. These speeds enable significantly reduced travel times for long-distance flights.


What is the fastest aircraft ever and how fast can it fly?

The fastest aircraft publicly known is the SR-71 "Blackbird", which set speed records at 1905.81 knots (2,193.17 mph, 3,529.56 km/h) There may be faster aircraft today; the rumored "Aurora" aircraft using a pulse-jet engine may be capable of Mach 5 or more. The Space Shuttle reaches speeds of up to 17,000 MPH while in orbit, and reaches mach 20 during its return to Earth and landing.


Supersonic jets can travel faster than the speed of sound this is called Mach 1?

Close! Actually, Mach-1 is the speed of sound. anything above Mach-1 (Mach-(1-5)) is supersonic, all the way up to Mach-5, at which point an object is called "Hypersonic". Sometimes speeds above Mach-10 are referred to as "High-Hypersonic". So, a jet moving at Mach-1 wouldn't actually be traveling FASTER than sound, it would be traveling AS FAST as sound.


Moving at 5 times speed of sound?

Moving at 5 times the speed of sound means traveling at Mach 5, which is approximately 3837 miles per hour (6176 kilometers per hour) at sea level. This speed is commonly associated with hypersonic travel and is much faster than typical commercial aircraft speeds.


What is moving at Mach 5 called?

An object traveling at Mach 5 is moving at five times the speed of sound. At standard sea level conditions, this is roughly 3,836 miles per hour or 6,174 kilometers per hour. This speed is classified as hypersonic.


How are airfares set?

By how far you are flying,70% of your payment, and how much baggage you have,20%,and how much people on the aircraft,5%,then the airline that you are traveling on, the last 5%.


What is a supersonic aircraft?

Supersonic aircraft are those that can exceed the sound barrier. I.e. Concorde was capable of this. Any craft that can exceed 1 to 5 times the speed of sound falls in this category.


What class of aircraft is the C-5?

it transport big part that can't be transport by rail or road **IMPROVED by JAMES WASSALL** The C-5 "Galaxy" is a military transport aircraft used by the US Air Force. It is capable of carrying tanks, helicopters, general freight and passengers.


What is the worlds fastest jet plane?

The Lockheed YF-12 A a prototype for the SR-71 blackbird is known to have achieved at least 2,275 mph (mach 3.3 at 80,000 feet altitude). It is assumed that the aircraft can (and has) attained higher speeds, but the exact figure is still top secret. The X-15 has achieved much higher speeds, but since it is rocket powered, is not relevant when discussing the worlds fastest JET aircraft. There are unconfirmed rumors of faster jet-powered aircraft. The SR-91 Aurora is supposedly capable of speeds in excess of mach 5 using pulse-jet engines, but there has been no official statements made about this aircrafts performance figures, or even its existence.


What kind of car is the Mach 5?

Mach 5 equals 5 times the speed of sound. As the speed of sound is variable according to air density Mach 5 is also variable.


If an aircraft travels 120 miles in 12 minutes how fast is the aircraft going?

If an aircraft travels 120 miles in 12 minutes how fast is the aircraft going? The aircraft travels 120 miles in 12 minutes, which is 1/5 of an hour. Therefore, in 55 (one) hour, it would travel 5 × 120, or 600 miles. The aircraft is traveling 600 miles per hour.


Can sonic past Mach 5?

There is a great possibility that sonic can pass mach 5. It depends on what game you're playing.
