[@lazarus2691]

Realistically this video would actually be upside down, because at Mach 50 you have to have a *negative* angle of attack to maintain altitude due to the curvature of the Earth. You could fly upright with the nose down, but aircraft are usually designed to produce lift more efficiently with a positive angle of attack, which flying inverted lets you do. Moreover, pilots also operate more efficiently in positive gees than negative gees, and following the Earth's curvature at Mach 50 results in the aircraft experiencing around -1.2G So at very high speeds, flying inverted is both more efficient and more comfortable. The 'rollover' speed is around Mach 23 at sea level, depending which direction you're flying.

If you think about it from the upside-down pilot's point of view, the Earth's surface is constantly curving 'up' away from him, so he also has to pull up to follow it - otherwise he'll fall 'down' into space. I think this is probably the universe's way of telling us that flying that we shouldn't be trying to fly that fast - but when have humans (and especially test pilots) ever done as they're told?

@@ddd.777- Apollo 10 hit around Mach 40 and had three men onboard, so Mach 50 isn't too far fetched for a manned spacecraft. Realistically though, I can't see anything *flying* faster than about Mach 25 - beyond that you overcome the Earth's gravity and get flung into space. Indeed, there are a number of hypersonic gliders that have gone about that fast - X-23, X-37B, BOR-4S, ASSET, Avangard, ASSET, HTV-2, Space Shuttle, Buran. Apollo was only able to go faster because it started out in space and fell into the atmosphere, and bled off enough speed before getting flung back out.

[@ddd.777-]

@@lazarus2691ya, i know that the highest manned speed was over mach 40, but that's in space, in earth atmosphere maximum manned speed is about mach 6, and unmanned for an aircraft in level flight is about mach 20, but this is for a very short period of time, because the rocket engine is not very efficient

He says what Mach 50 looks like at sea level, but he doesn’t confirm that his Mach speed is calculated at sea level altitude. Decrease in temperature and pressure both reduce the speed of sound.

you probabily wouldnt be able to see anything in the first place as the friction would turn the air hitting whatever your flying into red/orange plasma, maybe its possible to see out of the back of your craft, but then most of what you could see would be a huge trench a few kilometers wide caused by the shockwaves condensing and devastating anything in their path...

I made the drive from Connecticut to Los Angeles with my (now ex-) wife and dog in 2005 to move out there, and it took just about 5 days. It wasn’t a direct straight line drive like this was, and going the southern route put us on a collision course with Hurricane Katrina. We were both heading for the top of Louisiana and would have converged if I hadn’t decided to try to avoid it- so we couldn’t stay at the hotel that we’d reserved, and since everyone else was evacuating north, it was almost impossible to find a substitute room. I had to drive all the way to North Little Rock, Arkansas to finally find a vacancy, and so I ended up driving 17.5 hours that day. That day and the remainder of the drive really gave me an appreciation for just how large the US actually is, and it was reinforced when I made the drive back in the opposite direction five years later to move back to my home state. Incredible and beautiful scenery, as well, and I’d recommend making a cross country drive to anyone who has the time and opportunity to do it. It’s a treasured memory, especially the drive back when it was just my dog and me- I always enjoyed driving for longer distances, and listening to my favorite music and my thoughts, and with Ajax with me, I didn’t feel lonely even once. This was a great video, and obviously brought up the feeling I experienced of the vastness of the country- thanks for creating and posting this!

Fun fact: at Mach 50, you need to have lift that point downwards because your centripetal acceleration exceeds the gravitational acceleration from Earth. 17km/s is about twice the orbital velocity (meaning you need about 3G to press down) or 40% more than Earth’s escape velocity.
