    That was a lot of fun! The inclusion of the Grumman F11F as a Mach 2 aircraft surprised me so much that I paused the video and looked it up. That was when I discovered the prototypes with the J79 engine... which you mentioned just a bit later in the video. That makes me wonder if it might be worth making a video about ground breaking engines?? The J79 was the key to a handful of significant aircraft. No doubt that other engines also fit that description. Might be fun to hear those stories!

      Good idea! I thought he'd already done that, but no - he did one on the J-57. He has done videos on the P&W R-2800 and the R-4360. Would be great to see one on the J-79.

    The Convair F-106 Delta Dart still holds the record set in 1959 - 1,525 MPH - for the World's Fastest Single Engine Jet Interceptor, over a closed course.
    But the Soviet Mig-23 is rated (in the Wiki) at 1,553 MPH at altitude. The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is also rated at 1,525 MPH. But these two aren't dedicated interceptors.

    As I understand it, the speed of sound in the Earth's standard atmosphere, is determined by the temperature, with density and pressure having little measurable affect. Speed of Sound in a standard atmospheric temperature of 59 F is 763 MPH and rises as the temperature rises. Altitude and pressure have little affect except that the temperature changes with altitude, but it is the temperature change that changes the Speed of Sound.

      NASA states that the speed of sound at SL under standard conditions is about 761 mph. Mach 2 at SL would be 1522 mph. At altitudes above 35000 ft, the speed of sound is about 660 mph, and Mach 2 would be 1320 mph. I think Mike actually referenced the high altitude figure for Mach 2.

  • @take5th
    @take5th 8 місяців тому

    Correct me when I’m wrong, but as air density decreases with altitude increases, the speed of sound decreases. Many of these Mach values are at altitude, where the ground speed would be lower. So, how fast could these airplanes go at sea level? Wouldn’t that be a more accurate relative comparison? Or are the provided max. Mach numbers corrected for altitude already?

    • @ronjon7942
      @ronjon7942 8 місяців тому +1

      The speed of sound is temperature dependent, not density altitude. Greg’s Airplanes & Automobiles dives into this.

  • @richardvernon317
    @richardvernon317 8 місяців тому

    Top Speed of the Blackbird was around Mach 3.3 at around 90,000 feet. Main limit on the aircraft was the compressor inlet temperature which was around 427 degrees C with a ambient air temperature at around -49 Degress C. The Blackbird hit that limit at Mach 3.3 at 90,000 feet. The temperature of the Atmosphere actually rises above around 80,000 feet at around 1 degree C per 1000 feet. Primary cause of this is the generation and destruction of Ozone.

    FYI, the Bell X-1 had a single flight from a standing start on the runway although it's unclear whether it broke Mach 1. For reference: ua-cam.com/video/n1qs8AwkFaU/v-deo.html

    • @celebratingaviationwithmik9782
      @celebratingaviationwithmik9782  7 місяців тому +1

      Yes, that is correct, and the engine burn was only about 90 seconds - enough to get the X-1 to 23,000 ft. before it returned to the lakebed subsonic. The ground-launched Douglas D-558-2 Skyrockets were jet-powered with rocket boost, while the supersonic flights (up to Mach 2) were made by air-launched all-rocket D-558-2s. Thanks for watching!

    Always informative and entertaining Mr. Machat! Perhaps for another one of your presentations, the Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet in fact did takeoff on it’s own rocket power and did perform unofficial record speeds at that time in WWII. There were some rumors that it may have even approached the speed of sound although never substantiated. Keep up the outstanding work sir!
