Mach 1 is the speed of sound in air, which varies based on temperature and altitude but is approximately 343 meters per second (about 1,125 feet per second) at sea level and at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit). Therefore, if a plane is traveling at Mach 1, it is moving at around 1,225 kilometers per hour (about 761 miles per hour) under these conditions. This speed can change with different atmospheric conditions.
Yes - but it will be travelling fast ! You will hear the sound of the engines a few seconds after the plane passes overhead.
Mach one is used to denote the speed of an object such as a jet plane traveling at or just above the speed of sound.
It is flying 3 times the speed of sound. Agreed. 2,300 mph at sea level
g6 is a fast plane that flies at mach 1
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.)
At sea level, the F-16 can go Mach 1.2 (915 mph). At altitude it can go: Mach 2+ (1,500 mph)
The time it takes for a plane traveling at Mach 2 to cross a specific distance in the sky depends on the distance itself. Mach 2 is approximately 1,534 kilometers per hour (953 miles per hour). For example, if the plane needs to cross a distance of 1,000 kilometers, it would take about 39 minutes. To calculate the time for different distances, you can use the formula: time = distance/speed.
Mach is a non standard unit based on the speed of sound through the medium, Mach 1 is the speed of sound, and 0.92 Mach is 92% the speed of sound which is approximately 313.0668 m / s or 1127.04048 km/h or 700.310487 mph.
Maximum speed: Mach 2.5+ (1,650+ mph, 2,660+ km/h)
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.
A plane that flies very fast is typically a supersonic aircraft, such as the Concorde or the Boeing X-43. Supersonic jets can exceed the speed of sound, traveling at speeds greater than 1,125 feet per second (Mach 1). The Concorde, for example, could cruise at speeds of around Mach 2, allowing it to significantly reduce travel time on transatlantic flights. Advances in technology are also leading to the development of new supersonic and hypersonic aircraft capable of even greater speeds.
I believe it is the SR-71 Blackbird, it goes about mach 3.2 or three times the speed of sound.
