Frankfurt to Munich with mach 10

[@CrzyClst]

Cool time-lapse! Thanks for sharing the clip.

[@maclover201]

Awesome time lapse!

[@turbochargedbrick]

@bityard - As it is a time lapse, it appears to be roughly mach 10.

[@floemuc]

You're absolutely right.. the pity is that in Germany, going by train costs something like 5 times as much as taking the flight.

[@scott98390]

@bityard as motion is relative, moving at Mach 10 in general has no effect on whether one lives or dies - unless you were *implying* the acceleration/deceleration required to achieve Mach 10 on a Frankfurt/Munich flight.

great vid! does the android phone already come with a function to make timelapse videos? or is it a custom app?

[@jessanders]

Very cool.

[@floemuc]

It's a custom app I wrote - will release source code maybe next week, once it's cleaned up a bit :-)

Bityard, the video was 10x normal speed. Also the Blackbird can go much faster than Mach 3.2 - but the exact number is classified.

[@bityard]

If your plane was flying at Mach 10, you would not be here to tell the tale. :) Mach 1 is the speed of sound, Mach 2 is twice the speed of sound, and so on. BUT the speed of sound varies greatly with temperature and air pressure. It does not map linearly to km/h. Unless you were flying in a supersonic jet (unlikely for such a short hop), the entirety of your flight was well below Mach 1. The fastest airplane in the world flies at Mach 9.6. The runner up (SR-71 Blackbird) only manages Mach 3.2.

I like that movie!

[@MaximilianHaeussler]

It's obvious from this video how short these domestic flights really are... I wonder if a ICE highspeed train ride wouldn't have been quicker ...

[@hotfreshrider]

woot !

[@floemuc]

I've finally managed to put the Android app used to make this video into the Market. Just search for "background timelapse" - it's free, and post a link if you make a video :-)

[@nathanielsottung]

Possibly how they sped it up is what i am thinking commercial jet liners can do mach 1 i believe with some effort but they can. Scramjet can do mach 7 i believe

[@dirtcocoon]

way to take the fun out of it, nerdlinger

above the clouds 3

[@floemuc]

*g* I suppose they would, but I hid it behind a big newspaper.. ;-)

CRASH AT 0:5 ! LOL
