Each of those square fields while over the Great Plains is a quarter section of 160 acres, or half mile x half mile. 4 quarters makes a section 1 mile x 1 mile as all land on the US Plains and Canadian Prairies are surveyed this way. It is crazy to think how fast you go by one of these fields. It usually takes me a whole day to seed or harvest one of those fields.
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.
@@kavithasunilkumarms7423 Yep. 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?

I tested my theory with your video with a cup of coffee, and my results were as I had believed.. I would not have enough time to enjoy a cup of coffee during this flight. Great vid!
This is really cool. I would have liked to have seen an inset map showing where we are at any time though. I see you have that near the end of the video. Also, it would be neat to see a video of special landmarks ie; Mt. Rushmore, St. Louis Arch, Mississippi River, and several big cities. Maybe you could do that ? Awesome video though !
When I fly across country from east to west (chasing the sun), I can just spend all of my time looking out of the window... watching all the topography, the homes, the roads, and curious sights.
Awesome visualization. It really helps drive home why the earth's surface is considered incredibly smooth at the scales of the width of a continent. When I first read the XKCD about the earth sized bowling ball I was blown away, but this really helps drive home that while some hills may be "Steep" and some cliffs may be "Tall," the whole country, truly the whole Earth, really is flatter than a pancake.
Mach 50 is at a similar speed as the space probe Voyager 1, in which it took 36 years just to leave the solar system after being launched in the year 1977.
@@Kinobambino Very true, but you would need a form of hyper- perception or else you'd crash into everything. Maybe that's why time dialates the faster you go.
Thanks for the video. With the ground whizzing by at that speed, reminds me and looks like something similar from the movie "2001 space odyssey" near the end of the movie where they do the high speed stuff.
no, no, no. This mach 50 technology actively counteracts problems from pushing through air at that speed. In fact, it may be moving through a generated vacuum. If not, the airs can be calmed. Even the sound waves are actively calmed. It's all above your pay grade. But rest assured they aren't simply ramming through air at mach 50 and letting whatever happens happens.
You would actually be fine (from the vortex standpoint, everything else, such as the dynamic pressure, and the heating, not so much), as to fly like this, you would have to be inverted, and pulling over 1G, because this is above twice orbital velocity, so in order to not gain altitude, you have to produce lift downwards, meaning your vortices would be traveling upwards, and not hit the ground.
Fun fact: if you were travelling at the speed of light you would have travelled around the world 2311 times in the time it took you to watch this entire video! 😃
The air resistance going at this speed this close to the ground would toast this aircraft. Typical re-entry speeds are around Mach 25, in the upper atmosphere. This is double that, at around 1-5 thousand feet above the ground. This would create an Insane amount of heat.

@@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.
@@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
Well, mach 50 would be impossible in an atmosphere. There would simply be too much resistance on an airframe. The SR-71 Blackbird jet required exotic materials to just fly slightly above match 3. The frame was hot enough to vaporize water when it got up to speed. Also, mach 50 would kill or badly hurt anything in the immediate area. The shockwaves alone would level buildings. 😳
@@Maloney-ho6fb You do know that mach 50 is 50 times the speed of sound, right? Outside of an atmosphere, that speed is possible. But the solid matter in an atmosphere would not be able to reach those speeds without breaking apart immediately. Currently, as far as any of us know, we don't have any super science that will allow us to defy physics.
@@modemmack And not to mention the fact that Mach 50 is something like 38,000 mph, which is almost 1.5 times the escape velocity. One small misjudgment and you're going into space, and you're not coming back.
I’ve driven from LA to Colorado and once you hit Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah is just an vast endless ocean of canyons. Big red canyons, beautiful in the early morning as the sun is rising
Put at 0.25 playback speed to see how fast some of the early Hypersonic Missiles (HGV type) could fly at (Mach 12-17). 0.5 for ICBM maximum terminal speeds.
@@mikechurvis9995 But in order to achieve Earth’s escape velocity, the probe had to travel at over Mach 40. So yeah, we technically did get up to that speed just planets helped us a tiny bit.
@@baileyharrison1030 Well getting to that speed in the air is impossible. You would burn up long before you get there as you push 4000 degrees. Even then, if you went at that speed at earth's surface, the surface would bend away from you and you would be flung into space.
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...
Wow. The higher altitude level makes this a lot more watchable than your previous videos. Be good to inset a small map in the top corner to show the progress across the various states, mountain ranges and cities and towns as well.
@@Chuked lol even the ISS travels at 17,000 mph. Plenty can space crafts in outer space can travel FASTER than ICBM as well. ICBM do go to outer space as well, and that's why it's capable of going that fast. If ICBM travel that fast at sea level it probably would've disintegrated within a few sec. As well as any other space rockets.
Fun fact, at mach 50, the wings would have to provide significant DOWNWARD thrust to maintain altitude. Mach 50 is well above orbital speed. A rough estimate, you'd be experiencing about 2.7 G's UPWARD against the top of the plane. (assuming a flight speed of about 34,000 mph). So take off normally, accelerate and at some point, turn the plane over and fly most of the way, upside down pressed into your seat with 2.7 times your own weight. Nice thrill ride, but not sure most passengers would enjoy it.
I wish you would do one with the map always showing or mention where the way points are. I wondered when you crossed the Mississippi (2:36?). I also saw few larger urban areas flash underneath.
@@atlas-3541 wow. Yeah imagine how they can do that speed underwater lol. Just wow. I bet 30 is just a speed they do to ensure they don't wreck with our junk in the air. I'm pretty sure that if real they can travel far faster than shown here in the video.
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.
i was surprised by all the desert in the west, and the east being a lot more green than the west. and it looked like they didn't have any trees until close to east coast.
There would be a huge torn up straight line between the two points as that thing kicked up a tempest in its wake. Also that thing better be made of unobtainium or some next galaxy stuff or it won’t hold together long lol

@@ernestkhalimov9368 Yes, I know, but I've made a worse mistake. I looked up the radius of the earth. Which is 6,371 km but where I live, we use the comma as decimal point. So without thinking I used a value that's off by 3 orders of magnitude. So the actual acceleration is -3.5 g. which is surprisingly low.

It’s crazy that just outside LA over the big valley mountains are just endless amounts of desert wasteland, canyons & mountains. It takes weeks to get anywhere out there that’s green till you hit the Mississippi
Not true. Plenty of green in most states west of the mississippi, especially Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, colorado, Utah, Kansas, etc.
@@evanhughes1510 most of the states you mentioned are actually yellow/tannish color since it’s mostly wheat fields, farms & dry grasslands out there. The east coast is where it’s more green with trees everywhere. Out west it tends to get more dry & desert. But Missouri & Colorado are pretty green.
@@evanhughes1510 You misunderstood the OP comment. He specifically said TRAVELING FROM L.A. EASTWARD. Yes, Oklahoma is west of the Mississippi but nowhere near the route L.A.-Mississippi.
@@michaelweston409 Yes, but if you're driving L.A.-Mississippi (as the OP implies), the whole landscape is dry af. I've driven solo from Palm Springs to El Paso; it's a looooong stretch of sand, small off-green shrubbery and tan color mountains off in the distance, at least that's how I remember it.
@@RogueReplicant I understood what he said, and I’m saying there’s plenty green way before you get close to the Mississippi
I tested my theory with your video with a cup of coffee,
and my results were as I had believed..
I would not have enough time to enjoy a cup of coffee during this flight.
Great vid!
This is really cool. I would have liked to have seen an inset map showing where we are at any time though. I see you have that near the end of the video. Also, it would be neat to see a video of special landmarks ie; Mt. Rushmore, St. Louis Arch, Mississippi River, and several big cities. Maybe you could do that ? Awesome video though !
This video would be great with a the map up permanently, to both put some size perspective and especially see changing landscapes.
Please add this creator, for reference
They really need to make a free roam Super Man Game where you can fly all over the world like this. Maybe even go over 100X Mach
it's called Google Earth VR
Look up Megaton Rainfall. Very very fun little game. And it supports VR.
Just put this video in a editing app and make the speed 2x
is basically called msfs bc theres also a mode where you can move freely
Megaton Rainfall
When I fly across country from east to west (chasing the sun), I can just spend all of my time looking out of the window... watching all the topography, the homes, the roads, and curious sights.
Awesome visualization. It really helps drive home why the earth's surface is considered incredibly smooth at the scales of the width of a continent. When I first read the XKCD about the earth sized bowling ball I was blown away, but this really helps drive home that while some hills may be "Steep" and some cliffs may be "Tall," the whole country, truly the whole Earth, really is flatter than a pancake.
Mach 50 is at a similar speed as the space probe Voyager 1, in which it took 36 years just to leave the solar system after being launched in the year 1977.
Did it reach the degaboh system?
Voyage is going about 3x that speed
From Star Trek 1? Cool.
@@ccculture9681 No. Voyager 1 speed is 61500 km/h , mach 50 is 59,634 km/h.
@@TheFailedmessiah to the Dagaobah system it did go..
That was fascinating. And, surprisingly slower than I thought Mach 50 would look like.
It's actually really fast but looks slower because most the areas are barren land so its harder to comprehend how much space he has travelled
Its 18km/s speed.
It's faster if you imagine you're running at that speed
@@Kinobambino Very true, but you would need a form of hyper- perception or else you'd crash into everything. Maybe that's why time dialates the faster you go.
@@Kinobambino my name is Barry Allen
Thanks for the video. With the ground whizzing by at that speed, reminds me and looks like something similar from the movie "2001 space odyssey" near the end of the movie where they do the high speed stuff.
So nice to see a clear view of Mach 50, it’s so hard to keep my eyes open at that speed I never get to truly appreciate the view.
I played it at 2x speed and got to see what mach 100 looks like!
There's always somebody..... 😁
GENIUS
So, what happens if we put a camera on an object traveling half the speed of light and then played it at 2x?? 😮
@@guillegermo9406 The universe implodes and we all die. Thanks Guille! 😆
I used 8x
I like to think the vortex given by this speed is just destroying everything behind the camera
no, no, no. This mach 50 technology actively counteracts problems from pushing through air at that speed. In fact, it may be moving through a generated vacuum. If not, the airs can be calmed. Even the sound waves are actively calmed. It's all above your pay grade. But rest assured they aren't simply ramming through air at mach 50 and letting whatever happens happens.
not to mention the fact anyone in line of sight of it would be blinded by the fireball it would create
@@Jermain-cz4bh yeah, it would be a mini sun, ball of plasma shooting across the sky burning out all retinas in the vicinity
You would actually be fine (from the vortex standpoint, everything else, such as the dynamic pressure, and the heating, not so much), as to fly like this, you would have to be inverted, and pulling over 1G, because this is above twice orbital velocity, so in order to not gain altitude, you have to produce lift downwards, meaning your vortices would be traveling upwards, and not hit the ground.
It's fascinating to see the landscape change so suddenly and drastically.
Fascinating …….thanks for sharing !
Fun fact: if you were travelling at the speed of light you would have travelled around the world 2311 times in the time it took you to watch this entire video! 😃
lol wot
That's not even from the sun to earth so slow smh😤
Apparently you did the math seven times a second
🤓
Wasn't fun at all
The air resistance going at this speed this close to the ground would toast this aircraft. Typical re-entry speeds are around Mach 25, in the upper atmosphere. This is double that, at around 1-5 thousand feet above the ground. This would create an Insane amount of heat.
But would it melt a Big Mac? Humph.
Very cool . Would have been nice to see the VFR map for the entire trip . Is there an app for these to use while traveling on a commercial airliner ?
This is fast an all but the leap from multi month covered wagon to 5 hr flight while binge watching Netflix is still mind boggling.
On the larger scale of human existence, it really is astounding
why am i sitting here watching this whole video lmao.
but it's pretty cool, like it shows how big the US truly is and it's pretty amazing that people used to cross all of this by foot
What does mach 1000000 look like in space? 🔥
@@RealNeutronStar very slow lmao
@@RealNeutronStar 1 mach is speed of sound in air. In space there’s infinitesimal small amount of air or atoms, so mach means nothing.
@@jjraga Very slow? That's a little faster than light. Granted, depending on what you mean by "space", you could still call light speed slow.
@@J7Handle i meant that it would be extremely slow in comparison to the scope of the universe bc they said what would that look like in space? so i assumed that question meant outer space
This video feels like what Superman sees on a daily basis.
Thank you for the experience 😊
I have this kind of dream since childhood where I’m in a small, black triangular craft like, that flies at amazing speeds close to the ground and always takes me to a different country, far, faraway…
The flying part looks exactly like this video.
This video is honestly amazing. It shows how simultaneously big and small the world is. Really, it's overwhelming. I'd love to have seen the camera fly completely around the world. Would be good to have that mini-map in that corner the whole time aswell, to show exactly where we are
Maybe one day we will reach that speed, but a little beat higher.
my mind is telling me they already have something similar with that type of technology its just kept classified
Idk maybe ballistic missiles, but no way for something manned
@@melvincee that’s actually kinda true…the amount of stuff that is classified that we don’t know about is probably a LOT of stuff
@@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.
@@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
Sweet view! Made me think of what a “tic tac” would see in 1st gear going across America 🇺🇸
props to the cameraman for recording this stuff and being so still at mach 50
Well, mach 50 would be impossible in an atmosphere. There would simply be too much resistance on an airframe. The SR-71 Blackbird jet required exotic materials to just fly slightly above match 3. The frame was hot enough to vaporize water when it got up to speed.
Also, mach 50 would kill or badly hurt anything in the immediate area. The shockwaves alone would level buildings. 😳
Get real. That plane is 50 years old at least. There’s no telling what we have now
Don't use the word impossible.
@@Maloney-ho6fb You do know that mach 50 is 50 times the speed of sound, right? Outside of an atmosphere, that speed is possible. But the solid matter in an atmosphere would not be able to reach those speeds without breaking apart immediately. Currently, as far as any of us know, we don't have any super science that will allow us to defy physics.
@@modemmack And not to mention the fact that Mach 50 is something like 38,000 mph, which is almost 1.5 times the escape velocity. One small misjudgment and you're going into space, and you're not coming back.
I can't imagine anything hot enough to vaporize water, as I'm steaming veggies on my stove and microwave 😅
I’ve driven from LA to Colorado and once you hit Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah is just an vast endless ocean of canyons. Big red canyons, beautiful in the early morning as the sun is rising
It's endless.. if you're going mach 50.
I don’t know how to say this but this flys directly over my house. If you pause it right at the right time you can see it
Definitely one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
Put at 0.25 playback speed to see how fast some of the early Hypersonic Missiles (HGV type) could fly at (Mach 12-17).
0.5 for ICBM maximum terminal speeds.
holy shit
That plane has dope acceleration from LA to NYC snap in a speed per hr that's impressive ngl.
Mach 50 seems to induce texture buffering.
Mach 50...Speed of the Voyager 1 spacecraft.
And yet people say “I hope we will get up to that speed” even though we did that in the 70s.
A speed we attained by exploiting a once-in-a-lifetime slingshot maneuver involving *multiple planets*
@@mikechurvis9995 But in order to achieve Earth’s escape velocity, the probe had to travel at over Mach 40. So yeah, we technically did get up to that speed just planets helped us a tiny bit.
@@joaquinchavez9143 It’s a lot easier to go fast when there’s no air to push through
@@baileyharrison1030 Well getting to that speed in the air is impossible. You would burn up long before you get there as you push 4000 degrees. Even then, if you went at that speed at earth's surface, the surface would bend away from you and you would be flung into space.
This is what I expected a regular airliner’s speed to look like close to the ground
Interesting. Thanks for sharing!
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...
No, no, no. This technology actively counteracts all those issues. Use your imagination
New York came and went in about 3 and a half seconds
I would recommend a 0 altitude rise with high barrier winds that cross the longitude sphere when mapping spec points on the virtual grounds.
Wish the zoomed out map was there so I didn’t have to guess when flying over my house 😊
Hats off to the camera man for traveling at this speed! Wouldn't have realised the speed otherwise.
Wow. The higher altitude level makes this a lot more watchable than your previous videos. Be good to inset a small map in the top corner to show the progress across the various states, mountain ranges and cities and towns as well.
That really makes you realise just how slow sound travels.
Congrats on the 100.000 subs
Even mach 5 would be such a luxury turning long flights into at most a few hours
I may not be an astrophysicist, but I can recognize speeds over the Earth's escape velocity when I see them
This is probably one of the most baitable titles a man can't avoid when seeing it in YT.
Congrats on 100k : )
: )
Imagine the speed of light, it does 7 world tours within 1 sec, yet requires 8 mins to reach earth from sun. 🤯
4 years to reach Proxima Centauri
Mach 50 is 38,000 mph!! That is MUCH FASTER than even the ICBM!! ICBM travels at like only 15,000 mph.
Oh my 😳
ICBM is nuke rocket right?
@@thomasholierhoek4012 ICBM stands for InterContinental Ballistic Missile that can carry nuclear warheads yes.
@@prandomable so i turned the video to 0.5x , the ICBM is still INSANELY fast!!! Nuclear war is terrifying
@@Chuked lol even the ISS travels at 17,000 mph. Plenty can space crafts in outer space can travel FASTER than ICBM as well. ICBM do go to outer space as well, and that's why it's capable of going that fast. If ICBM travel that fast at sea level it probably would've disintegrated within a few sec. As well as any other space rockets.
Thanks to the cameraman who manage to do such job
around the globe in less than 1 hour at that speed. pretty cool vid.
The last 30 second was the approximate course of my commercial long cross country flight. It took 6.5 hours to complete (both ways).
its crazy how detailed the Environment is
its mostly just satelite imagery
It is actual classified american footage of mach 50
Fun fact, at mach 50, the wings would have to provide significant DOWNWARD thrust to maintain altitude. Mach 50 is well above orbital speed. A rough estimate, you'd be experiencing about 2.7 G's UPWARD against the top of the plane. (assuming a flight speed of about 34,000 mph). So take off normally, accelerate and at some point, turn the plane over and fly most of the way, upside down pressed into your seat with 2.7 times your own weight. Nice thrill ride, but not sure most passengers would enjoy it.
I like that the progress bar is about where the plane would be in the country
I wish you would do one with the map always showing or mention where the way points are. I wondered when you crossed the Mississippi (2:36?). I also saw few larger urban areas flash underneath.
It took me a while to find out what this was but this is Tuttle Creek Lake in Kansas.
I like it. I wish if you could for a follow up have a separate map image showing the position corresponding to the point of view imagery.
Wow I actually thought it would look faster than that. Not knocking the video, it's fantastic.
So relaxing!
it amazes me how few large towns or citys there are between these two places
Haven't UAPs/UFOs been clocked at these speeds and faster? Simply amazing
Around Mach 30, imagine exploring planets at such speeds. Or even the ocean.
@@atlas-3541 wow. Yeah imagine how they can do that speed underwater lol. Just wow. I bet 30 is just a speed they do to ensure they don't wreck with our junk in the air. I'm pretty sure that if real they can travel far faster than shown here in the video.
Thanks for your video. An occasion landmark label and/or state boundaries would be helpful.
I think this could be a visual metaphor for time as you get older.
I like the little map near the end I would like to see that all the way through give you an idea of where you are But yes overall very cool thanks
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.
i was surprised by all the desert in the west, and the east being a lot more green than the west. and it looked like they didn't have any trees until close to east coast.
Never realized how cool the Grand Canyon was
1:41 Crestone Peak (left) and Crestone Needle (right), two high peaks in the Sangre de Cristo range in south central CO.
Hmmm… seeing this makes me think Superman in Man of Steel may have actually flown at 50+ Match… it looks very similar to some of his scenes.
Very nice!
Please do one doing LA to LA or Miami to Miami around the World. East to West and then North to South.
Great idea! Pole to pole. North to South. That would be amazing to see the curvature of the Earth in HD video.
Gawd, what I would give for you to do comparisons of Mach 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12.... I'm a scifi writer and that would kick ass!
There would be a huge torn up straight line between the two points as that thing kicked up a tempest in its wake. Also that thing better be made of unobtainium or some next galaxy stuff or it won’t hold together long lol
do light speed next lol
Would be pretty much instant
@@ohmygoshitscole yeah
@@ohmygoshitscole still would be cool tho
Considering you can go around the planet like eight times in one second at light speed...
The vid would be less than a second(just for one rotation around the earth)
