For those wondering, you’ll never get to see anything like this in real life because of the density of the atmosphere. Mach 10 is only feasible at altitudes of about 40,000m (130,000ft). Even just Mach 1 at sea level produces a ton of drag
I mean, you could see something like this irl, but it will be the last thing you see if you’re anywhere near it, I’d bet the shockwave alone will hurt you really bad, or even kill you, all the heat it’ll be dumping off from compression might be really bad too, ofc we all know what would happen if you got hit by something that fast
Not to mention, even if you did somehow have the power to push something to Mach 10 at sea level, it would have to be made out of tungsten or some exotic alloy cause anything else would probably melt from the air friction.
@@Teesquared00 yeah, I don't think there exists an alloy or composite that could handle that. I'd figure that's the reason we don't have any Mach 4+ capable low-flying aircraft and haven't ever (capable of level flight).
And to think that even at this speed, just traveling around our nearby star system would literally take forever at mach 10. And even at the speed of light we’d barely explore this local galaxy.
It would take around 50,000 years just to get to the next solar system. And for anyone who says “ohh we can just make very fast spacecrafts” there is only 1 velocity you can travel at. Study space flight and orbital mechanics and you’ll find out what I mean.
I saw this and thought to myself, “wow the quality looks like a video game,” then realised it’s a similation and thought to myself, “wow this looks so realistic,”
@@dabigbosss3791 what a smart man, thank goodness he thought of that first. disregard history of any writers or philosophers or even the Dao at that, none of them originated such thoughts, it was Musk! Who else could be so wise. Even the visual narrative of film was yet to venture as far as Musk did until he did.
Back in the day (mid '50's) hearing or seeing jets break the sound barrier over head was a daily thing in Southern California where I lived. Then people started suing because of broken glass and such so the military stopped doing the flights over populated areas. It was sure fun as a boy watching those jets go fast and seeing the vapor contrails over head. Thanks for the video.
Same reason why Concorde sadly wasn’t viable. Supersonic flights over the US are for the most part banned or at least would incur all those civil liabilities.
here in Italy we had fighters take training flights over our beaches during the summer, sometimes they got supersonic and you'd see everyone look around confused after the boom.
@@regera6019 Yes - 71 actually. Why?? Lived and grew up in Southern Calif. Grandfather worked for Northrup as well as my Uncle after WW2. Father worked for STL (Space Technology Laboratories) later known as TRW. Witnessed many satellites (Pioneer and Explorer) being built before their launch. Lots of experiences with jets and moon landing projects.
MACH1: "Wow, that's a supersonic jet just flew by." MACH2: "Holy shit, that's super fast." MACH10: "What was that sound? Hmm... must have been the wind."
Except at ten times the speed of sound, at that altitude, your eardrums would turn to jelly, blood would trickle down your ear, and you would probably pass out from the shock to your system, so no... You'd most definitely know
Mach 1 = Have a friend clap while a couple hundred meters away (say, across a baseball field or something) and notice how long the delay is to reach you from visible clap to sound.
An aircraft the size and shape of an F-18 traveling mach 10 at THAT altitude would leave things looking QUITE different in its sonic wake. (I emphasized “size and shape“, because an actual F 18 would be a cloud of molten debris at those speeds. The object would need properties exceeding those of solid forged tungsten alloy.)
@@Seeker_903 darkstar flies at 120k ft though, not sea level. Absolutely NOTHING of that mass/ area can survive Mach 10 at sea level without severe compression or shit, melting itself.
Reminds me of the time a F/A-18 Super Hornet passed by my ship while I was in the Navy. I was on the port side elevator as the jet came barreling in low, at just above eye level for us on the ship. It seemed to float almost silently by, and I swear I saw the pilot look at me. After it passed, then came the boom of it's speed. It was a magical moment.
We had one do a fly by of my ship when I was in the Navy also it looked so close like I could reach out and touch it definitely one of those moments in a lifetime that I won’t forget
At sealevel , friction heating would make aircraft glow like a fireball. The shockwave would be destructive with catastrophic overpressure to ground structure, vehicles, and personell.
The best thing about being around a jet that breaks the sound barrier is not just hearing it, but feeling it. Like a good lightning strike, the thunder is what really gives it the oomf in build up and power that makes it sound as cool as it looks. I love the boom followed by the shaking and rattling of everything in my house as a jet fly's overhead. :D
The blue angels are badass. They do low altitude fly bys over my house in October every year. I can read the US Navy logo and even see the pilots. Its a massive roar even at coasting speeds. I've seen them accelerate from far away and it still seemed to create a bit of pressure in the air
Where are yu at?? I used to Go to Andrew's Air Force base as ah kid n watch the air shows....Proud to say both Parents served in the Air Force over 20 yrs A Peice.

I SAY THAT TO SAY THIS I COULD REALLY USE SOME PRAYER WARRIORS OR SOMEONE WITH ENCOURAGEMENT HMU AN GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!!!!!!😊💯❤️🩹🫡🫂
The shock cone would be stretched very very far behind the vehicle, and would be very very narrow, to the point where the plane would be 100+ yards away before a sonic boom that would blow that section of the bridge off erupted from air. Also, the frictional heat you would receive from the passing aircraft at that distance would be enough to send you to the hospital with permanent scarring (Considering your body didn't turn to mush from the boom)
Thank you so much for this! Can you please make a video showing what these speeds look like to a person standing on the ground looking up at it, from 10,000 up to 80,000 feet.. I'm a UFO/UAP investigator so it would be incredibly helpful for me to see what craft look like traveling at these speeds if I'm looking up at them.. it'll help me estimate speeds. If you would please, or if you can. Thank you for the upload, new sub!

Well the heat generated by something moving this fast at sea level would probably burn you really badly while the shockwave would potentially even kill you if you're that close. They may just think they got shelled by artillery lol.
@@SnowWow I am saying it would burn someone standing by as it flew by. Yes, we all understand the plane would get vaporized from its own shock heating at that velocity and altitude.
The thing this video doesn't represent is how you wouldn't hear any noise until way after the jet has passed. Also, the shockwave alone would send those vehicles flying off the bridge.
@@airplanemode101 I was mostly talking about mach 10, but yeah, mach 1 captures that effect perfectly. However, some jets in msfs don't have this for some reason.
Would it make that much of a difference up close, you think? The boom should take the same amount of time to get from the plane to the observer no matter how fast the plane is going, as long as it's going faster than sound. The plane will have made more distance between you by the time you hear it because it's going faster, but the sound will take the same amount of time to get to you from the plane's closest point whether it's going at Mach 1 or Mach 10. It will traverse that distance at the speed of sound.
When I was a kid I the '70s, in Tallahassee, we would regularly hear sonic booms from fighters along the Gulf coast. Really interesting to think that was a normal thing.
This is what I always thought fighter jets flying at full speed looked like as a kid and that they only looked slow because they weren't allowed to go full speed unless they were in a dogfight
Physics teachers: Assume air resistance is negligible Assume air viscosity is zero Assume incompressible flow Assume negligible drag coefficient Pilots: 0:32
@Onlysi RU-vid u studying engineering? This is basically all the good conditions for an easy problem. You see this on an exam, you'll be like *THE GODS HAVE BLESSED US*.
I've seen many mach 1+ flybys when I was stationed on JFK CV67 back in the 70s when we were practicing for an air show we were doing for Egypt. An F14 Tomcat did repeated passes, each time getting closer and lower. The sim does not really get the speed right. From the time you see the aircraft as a dot on the horizon until it is a dot on the other horizon is so small, you can turn your head as fast as it goes by. You brain is barely able to process the shape of it as it zips past. It's easier when the aircraft passes farther away, but the size is much smaller. This sim seems to exaggerate the size relative to the distance away. The match 10 pass actually looks more like what I remember the match 1+ pass looking like. This may have to do with how the sim is showing the scene as if you were looking through a wide angle lense.
The Fastest Fighter Jet Ever It reached record top speed of Mach 6.72 or 4,520 mph, which is more than five times the speed of sound. The X-125 was an experimental hypersonic rocket powered aircraft developed in the 1960's and still holds the record for the highest speed ever recorded by a crewed, powered aircraft. They don't build them like they used. 😎👍
Ehh, I was initially going to say that it would combust the air. But after reviewing the US Navy Railgun footage of projectiles travelling at Mach 8, the only combustion occurs from the compression starting the firing of the railgun as it exits the barrel. From a 2012 Forum Post: Machine_Elf Guest Feb '12 Is it possibly a result of kinetic heating due to atmospheric friction? Nitpick: heat experienced by hypersonic objects is due to adiabatic compression of the air in front of the object, rather than viscous friction of the air against the sides of the object. And in the present case, no, that’s not the source of all of the smoke and flame; note from the video (see at 0:32) that there is no smoke/flame emanating from the projectile once it leaves the barrel.
To be honest I thought the Mach 10 version would look like a fireball. Because that's what a jet at sea level going Mach 10 would actually look like =)
Commander: So what did you cost to fly on the Mach 10 speed? Pilot: **flashbacks of him litteraly going 10,000m/s and getting eaten by the seat** Everything with my sanity.
I was there when this was filmed. It took my breath away. We got there early so that we could film it. I lost the film at my grandmas so it’s nice to see that someone else got footage.
@@tomasdahuabe the temperatures involved in turbine failure are shockingly low... Even specialty superalloys developed just for turbines don't like temperatures above 500C for sustained periods, despite melting points exceeding 2000C. The reason for this is creep deformation: when a material is loaded, it can deform over time... Even if there isn't enough force to break anything, it can still warp over time like a tree bent by the wind. Turbines have very little margin for error: engine efficiency is inversely proportional to gap between turbine tip and the engine frame. So that gap must be really small, and a few thousandths of an inch of warping in the blade is all that is needed to start dragging. At >100,000 RPM and blade tip speeds nearly as fast as a bullet, this soon results in rapid unscheduled midflight engine disassembly. This is the reason people talk about ramjets and scramjet so much for fast flight: scramjets have their own things going on, but a ramjet is just a specialized version of a turbojet without the turbine: no blades, waay less issues with creep deformation, so you can go all the way up to the melting point, and hit mach 6+
If a plane (or anything else) is passing you at any Mach speed (especially Mach 10), you won't hear ANYTHING until it has passed you, since the object is going faster than the sound it makes. It's truly scary when you can't hear something that big coming at you!
