Not if you have an ejector pod (escape capsule). I’m assuming the DarkStar had the ability to eject the cockpit section to keep the pilot safe through subsonic speeds before actually ejecting the pilot.

Reminds me of reading an article about the SR-71. One of the pilots said while flying north toward Canada they watched the sun set on their left. Then they turned left and were going so fast they literally watched the sun rise in the west, over the Pacific Ocean.
Once he hit 10.0 you know he’s gonna push it….you know he’s gonna blow up the jet….but the film does such a good job in managing expectations while delivering basic story elements so effortlessly.
Rear Admiral Cain showing concern and disbelief on his face when Maverick's ride ends is such a great detail in this scene. He needs to be in control of the situation and an intimidating presence in the room, but just below the surface wants the best for his pilot and for him to succeed.
In real life he would be furious for them disobeying direct orders and playing with 100 million dollars worth of experimental military hardware like its their personal plaything
Yeah, he might be fighting for budget in the office wars, but no one like seeing a test pilot lose their life even if they work in a competing department.
Cain was going to reassign him under Iceman's orders. Imagine Cain's shocked face reporting to Iceman that Maverick died before he could get reassigned.
if you don't know the history between Maverick and Goose then i can see why some people don't get it but if you do then you can't help getting emotional when he say's it for the first time in the movie, before the film we was going to expect the phrases that we've known for years from Top Gun 1 but this was perfect timing for me
He destroyed the prototype, which set the program back by billions of dollars and many months. He should've stopped at Mach 10.1, and let the program continue with the existing data for analysis to determine the upper bound before modifications are needed.
"Talk to me Goose/Dad" will never not be emotional. for someone who wasn't alive for the first movie, it means so much to hear those 4 words and how much influence he had on Maverick and Rooster
@Bryan Simeoli speed of sound reduces as air pressure drops. and there is an easy chart you can look up for speed of sound at different altitudes so there is no point to make stuff up like saying its "twice as it is on sea level".
@Bryan Simeoli he was travelling quite a bit slower yes. but more importantly you should really be confident with the accuracy of data before giving them out.
The higher up in the atmosphere, the less dense the air becomes. So once he gets up near space there would not be as much turbulence. Still the best movie of the year.

3:31 Awesome scene , a 10-score, for sure. Mav likely survived his insane need for speed by ejecting - or rather separating - the cockpit portion of the plane. Notice how he rapidly pulls all the way back on those side controls before all contact is lost. At that moment, the monitors go black at Mach 10.4. Hmm...10-4 is code for I'm ok, no assistance required, etc. Just a theory, of course. But ejecting at hypersonic speeds obviously puts horrific stress on a body (think heat/fire, air pressure, flying debris...). Best chance for pilot survival is inside an escape pod, like others have suggested.
You never seen any kind of ejection handles so a escape pod is a far more likely outcome as the scientists and engineers would know that ejection at such high speeds would be impossible so would build the cockpit as a pod to allow for survivability.
Apparently, things are different high up where the atmosphere is thinner. An SR-71 pilot survived a mid-flight breakup at Mach 3+ without ever having ejected, the aircraft just broke apart around him. He was protected by his suit. The other airman died though.
imagine ejecting at mach 10 - it would be like entering the event horizon of a black hole! your head would be 30 miles behind you before the rest of your body made it out
OMFG... I've read ignorant comments on youtube but you sir... take the crown jewel! Event horizon of a black hole... vs Mach 10 on a atmospheric plane... dude! do you even read what you type with any sense of critical thinking?!

The admiral might hate his guts, but he still shows concern for his safety when they think he just died. I absolutely love his delivery of the line "and despite your best efforts you REFUSE to die" in the next scene.
I like how they gave him hell for flying the f-18 to hard on that demo run saying it wasn’t “airworthy” anymore yet he wrecks a experimental plane which would probably be 900 billion dollars and never got one word said to him about it
You seem to think the government cares about how much money they spend on their weapons of death. Do you have any idea how big the United States military budget is? $1 billion is a drop in a fucking bucket for them
@@A74568Z That’s one way to die alone when you grow up. Never enjoying anything always nitpicking about the slightest thing. Try enjoying life sometimes bud. Or don’t.
People don't believe we've been to the moon but what they fail to realize is that all the astronauts of that period were pilots with the same skill as mavrick if not far more. They all had balls.
The soundscore of just this scene is astounding. If you have a good surround sound setup, the low growl hits from the floor to ceiling. Phenemenal scene.
Crazy to think that at Mach 10, you would be able to circumnavigate the earth in a little over 3 hours (if you're able to maintain Mach 10 or 12,348 km/h, that is). It took the explorer Magellan and his crew over 3 years in the 16th century to complete the first circumnavigation by sea.
3:42 You see this? It's so magical, it looks like some meteor breaking up to pieces, it's like something alien, something stellar, but it's not. That thing in the sky is man made, and manhandled by a human being. But same as the astronomical sight, it was also an astonishing effort by the pilot.
According to MFS with its Darkstar mission you fly the jet at 120,000 feet coast to coast close to Mach 10. So I figure he was at that altitude when the plane broke apart.
When I first watched this movie in theaters I assumed that this would be the final plot. Like in order to prevent anyone else from going on the mission, Mav would do a final suicide run in a remade Darkstar and be reunited with Goose during the mission, to see him in his final moments.
Man, I remember being in the theater and when the score crescendos at 1:10 and just thinking “oh shit, now we’re watching a movie.” It was such an awesome moment, totally unexpected from a summer action movie. I knew from that moment that this would be a special movie.
This is one of the best sequels ever made. I had high suspicion for such a delayed release. I honestly cried in the cinema when he said “talk to Goose”.
1:18 this is how you make men in their late 30s or older cry. I welled up watching this in the cinema as a borderline obsessed Top Gun fan and in my late 30s. The pure nostalgia, the music, the fact that this film had been made. Ugh, it's just so good.
So interestingly enough, something very similar to this actually happened in real life. SR-71 broke up over Mach 3, and one of the pilot survived. Took the guy a while to come to terms with the fact that he wasn't dead because he knew no one could have survived that. It's an incredible story if you are into that kind of thing.
When he said "talk to me goose" and later on shouted "come on" . . . Was at the edge of the seat, it reminded me Jeremy from Top Gear when he pushed the Lamborghini to it's limit at imola race track when he went flat out shouting "come on! You can do this" and the mighty flat crack V12 raging bull Lambo was spitting flames 🔥. It's amazing and gives goosebumps to see someone performing from the bottom of their heart giving their all, fully present and oozing passion when doing something.
I’m not an expert but based on the replies some say it is possible for him to survive that ejection at Mach 10, IF the Darkstar has an ejection pod, basically the entire cockpit separates from the entire aircraft like a drop pod then will glide to a certain speed that automatically ejects, or it will deploy a parachute at a certain altitude
You never seen any kind of ejection handles so a escape pod is a far more likely outcome as the scientists and engineers would know that ejection at such high speeds would be impossible so would build the cockpit as a pod to allow for survivability.
@@JoHn-gi1lb hold up my man. That's not true, cause I was in the Navy . I was a Hydraulics mech that worked specifically on the F/A 18. VFA-131 Wildcats BABY!!! So as I was saying we had a pilot that had ejected three times in his career. Non of them were out of a Hornet, but yeah 3 times in his Career. He always got shit cause he was fairly short. All the guys were giving him shit about all the punch outs had compressed his spine and shortened him 🤣🤣🤣
@@dustinsmith9310 Was he a bad pilot, just terrible luck or involved in serious action getting shot down multiple times to chalk up 3 ejections? That's one way to get a unique callsign...
Just noticed (4th or 5th watch of the movie) at the very end of the scene when the engine has an unstart, the next frame is inside cockpit and you can see maverick's head hit the side, similar to what happened to the SR-71 pilots when an unexpected unstart occurred. The detail in this movie is outrageous. What a masterpiece.
There was a theory that instead of the Darkstar having just an ejection seat. It was an entire ejection pod that completely protected him from being vaporized while moving that fast.
This sequence set the tone. Watching this in imax4d with the seats moving and vibrating really teleported you into the movie instantly. I really wish i could experience watching this movie for the first time again.
At such speed you wouldn't be able to make such a turn, because the G-forces, and wind, would rip apart the light construction of the plane, I am surprised no one commented that anywhere.

Notice how he rapidly pulls all the way back on those side controls before all contact is lost. At that moment, the monitors go black at Mach 10.4. Hmm...10-4 is code for I'm ok, no assistance required, etc. Just a theory, of course. But ejecting at hypersonic speeds obviously puts horrific stress on a body (think heat/fire, air pressure, flying debris...). Best chance for pilot survival is inside an escape pod, like others have suggested.
You never seen any kind of ejection handles so a escape pod is a far more likely outcome as the scientists and engineers would know that ejection at such high speeds would be impossible so would build the cockpit as a pod to allow for survivability.
Apparently, things are different high up where the atmosphere is thinner. An SR-71 pilot survived a mid-flight breakup at Mach 3+ without ever having ejected, the aircraft just broke apart around him. He was protected by his suit. The other airman died though.

10-4 means acknowledge
You have some crazy way with words...almost convinced me.
Do write, would love to read more!🙏
imagine ejecting at mach 10 - it would be like entering the event horizon of a black hole! your head would be 30 miles behind you before the rest of your body made it out
not that much but indeed u gonna rip yourself up pretty damn fast
Perfect description
The episode delta v of the expanse has a really great example.
OMFG... I've read ignorant comments on youtube but you sir... take the crown jewel!
Event horizon of a black hole... vs Mach 10 on a atmospheric plane...
dude! do you even read what you type with any sense of critical thinking?!

ah, the hollow, empty, vapid and banal response of a nobody with no point, no counterpoint, only an infantile attempt at character assassination
bravo infant!
To be honest if a jet like this ever existed, I can easily imagine Tom Cruise being the one to fly it...
to be honest I can't, Tom Cruise is a great pilot irl, but not even close to the level of any military jet pilot.
The Aurora is real.
They probably do exist. The SR 71 was developed in the 60s and wasn't really discovered by the public till about the early 80s.
@@janvanheijningen8588 Im sure you are fun at parties

I love the fact that Hondo knows Maverick well enough to know that he'll push it when he shouldn't.
The admiral might hate his guts, but he still shows concern for his safety when they think he just died.
I absolutely love his delivery of the line "and despite your best efforts you REFUSE to die" in the next scene.
He did die, the rest of the film is just a death dream
@@supixio6166 No it’s not. Maverick refuses to die.
Jesus what a great scene. Literally on the edge of my seat.
My theater had that energy
Best inadvertent Lockheed Martin commercial ever
Not inadvertent. No such thing when you see a product name in a movie.
I like how they gave him hell for flying the f-18 to hard on that demo run saying it wasn’t “airworthy” anymore yet he wrecks a experimental plane which would probably be 900 billion dollars and never got one word said to him about it
Exactly the kind of thing that I notice through movies. It’s impossible for me to get sucked into the make-believe of Hollywood movies.
Losing experimental planes is something that's far more excepted in comparison to losing a combat aircraft.
You seem to think the government cares about how much money they spend on their weapons of death. Do you have any idea how big the United States military budget is? $1 billion is a drop in a fucking bucket for them
@@A74568Z That’s one way to die alone when you grow up. Never enjoying anything always nitpicking about the slightest thing. Try enjoying life sometimes bud. Or don’t.
@@vikinghammer87 you're reading way too much in to what he said about movies. you sound weird.
When your aircraft starts to melt around you... the plasma was awesome!
Absolutely love "Oh, don't do it.....don't do it.......holy s$$$...."
People don't believe we've been to the moon but what they fail to realize is that all the astronauts of that period were pilots with the same skill as mavrick if not far more. They all had balls.
The soundscore of just this scene is astounding. If you have a good surround sound setup, the low growl hits from the floor to ceiling. Phenemenal scene.
Flying at that speed, looking at the sunset, with that background music and saying 'Talk to me Goose' is a priceless scene.
Crazy to think that at Mach 10, you would be able to circumnavigate the earth in a little over 3 hours (if you're able to maintain Mach 10 or 12,348 km/h, that is). It took the explorer Magellan and his crew over 3 years in the 16th century to complete the first circumnavigation by sea.
3:42
You see this? It's so magical, it looks like some meteor breaking up to pieces, it's like something alien, something stellar, but it's not.
That thing in the sky is man made, and manhandled by a human being. But same as the astronomical sight, it was also an astonishing effort by the pilot.
According to MFS with its Darkstar mission you fly the jet at 120,000 feet coast to coast close to Mach 10. So I figure he was at that altitude when the plane broke apart.
Music cutting out at 2:48 was brilliant. Show don't tell done perfectly. We all knew what he was thinking the second it happened.
"Talk to me, Goose"
1:48 I love that shot.
When I first watched this movie in theaters I assumed that this would be the final plot. Like in order to prevent anyone else from going on the mission, Mav would do a final suicide run in a remade Darkstar and be reunited with Goose during the mission, to see him in his final moments.
Perfect sound design, perfect acting, excellent shots and cinematography all come together to make a gripping nail biting scene, art
Man did Mach 10.4 before the aircraft disintegrated and survived.
I legit dropped a tear when Maverick said ``Talk to me Goose´´
Approaching high hypersonic.
“Score elevates”
Me : *goosebumps*
Man, I remember being in the theater and when the score crescendos at 1:10 and just thinking “oh shit, now we’re watching a movie.” It was such an awesome moment, totally unexpected from a summer action movie. I knew from that moment that this would be a special movie.
Agreed. As far as opening scenes go, this is one of the top 10 to get your adrenaline pumping.
2:34 this is me trying to do the last push-up
Dang Hanz Zimmer, once again setting the mood without melody, just the mood.,
put that in your pentagon budget 💀🤣😭
This is one of the best sequels ever made. I had high suspicion for such a delayed release. I honestly cried in the cinema when he said “talk to Goose”.
Love the Lockheed skunk on the stick 3:03
Good little subtle homage to the spiritual creators of the SR-72 (DarkStar).

1:18 this is how you make men in their late 30s or older cry. I welled up watching this in the cinema as a borderline obsessed Top Gun fan and in my late 30s. The pure nostalgia, the music, the fact that this film had been made. Ugh, it's just so good.
1:48 this shot is so beautiful
1:21 goosebump moment
original Top Gun... Goose bump moment
In a strong Scottish brogue
“I don’t know how much longer the warp engines can last, Cap’n!
The dilithium crystals are overheating.”
I like how they made the Darkstar sound like it is screaming as it approaches then exceeds Mach 10.
That shot from stratosphere soaring above the earth was awesome 👍
Oscar winner for the best sound . Top gun maverick
Such a sweet moment when he brought his friend along on this great accomplishment. "Talk to me Goose"
1:47 might be one of the most breathtaking shots EVER taken
So interestingly enough, something very similar to this actually happened in real life. SR-71 broke up over Mach 3, and one of the pilot survived. Took the guy a while to come to terms with the fact that he wasn't dead because he knew no one could have survived that. It's an incredible story if you are into that kind of thing.
1:48 bestest and the beautifully made shot
It’s amazing when Hollywood gets movies right these days.
When he said "talk to me goose" and later on shouted "come on" . . . Was at the edge of the seat, it reminded me Jeremy from Top Gear when he pushed the Lamborghini to it's limit at imola race track when he went flat out shouting "come on! You can do this" and the mighty flat crack V12 raging bull Lambo was spitting flames 🔥. It's amazing and gives goosebumps to see someone performing from the bottom of their heart giving their all, fully present and oozing passion when doing something.
the piano in this is sooo sublime!!!
Goosebumps every time
I’m not an expert but based on the replies some say it is possible for him to survive that ejection at Mach 10, IF the Darkstar has an ejection pod, basically the entire cockpit separates from the entire aircraft like a drop pod then will glide to a certain speed that automatically ejects, or it will deploy a parachute at a certain altitude
You never seen any kind of ejection handles so a escape pod is a far more likely outcome as the scientists and engineers would know that ejection at such high speeds would be impossible so would build the cockpit as a pod to allow for survivability.
Its like hitting a wall, with that speed even with air in low quantity, a wall is alway a wall
It's a movie. In real life no pilot can fly again after ejecting because it does some serious damage to the body.
@@JoHn-gi1lb hold up my man. That's not true, cause I was in the Navy . I was a Hydraulics mech that worked specifically on the F/A 18. VFA-131 Wildcats BABY!!! So as I was saying we had a pilot that had ejected three times in his career. Non of them were out of a Hornet, but yeah 3 times in his Career. He always got shit cause he was fairly short. All the guys were giving him shit about all the punch outs had compressed his spine and shortened him 🤣🤣🤣
@@dustinsmith9310 Was he a bad pilot, just terrible luck or involved in serious action getting shot down multiple times to chalk up 3 ejections? That's one way to get a unique callsign...
Just noticed (4th or 5th watch of the movie) at the very end of the scene when the engine has an unstart, the next frame is inside cockpit and you can see maverick's head hit the side, similar to what happened to the SR-71 pilots when an unexpected unstart occurred. The detail in this movie is outrageous. What a masterpiece.
Surviving a mach 10 blow out to possible ejection should be impossible. Pretty much confirms Tom Cruise is a an alien/super human in this movie.
He's a superhuman in real life
There was a theory that instead of the Darkstar having just an ejection seat. It was an entire ejection pod that completely protected him from being vaporized while moving that fast.
He didn't eject...Watch how nasa gets its astronauts back to earth after traveling through the atmosphere and it will make sense how he survived this.
Heck he'll probably be the next Tony Stark.
Nah, that was just his immense steel testicles, as Admiral Cain astutely observed.
This sequence set the tone. Watching this in imax4d with the seats moving and vibrating really teleported you into the movie instantly.
I really wish i could experience watching this movie for the first time again.
"He's the fastest man alive"
Dudes in the ISS above: I guess I'll just go fuck myself
As someone who never saw the first, I thought he was going to travel through time for a second.😂😂😂
Tom at mach 10 looking out the window: wait?..did I just see the delorian?..nah couldn't have been.😂
What's the song at 0:45?
Best scene when he said talk to me goose i almost lost it
My opinion: The next scene, when he walks into the diner, that is the best in the movie.
He landed in Mayberry because Opie is the one who answers his question.
“You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips…”
His Scientology practices made him so strong wow
This is how Fed-Ex does next day delivery when the shipper is halfway around the world.
btw mach 10 is 2 miles a second and 125 miles a minute
Still less than 1/3 of the Earth's escape velocity.
Can’t imagine what it feels like when he turns while doing Mach 9
Imagine getting hit by a truck. That is how a Mach 9 turn do
At such speed you wouldn't be able to make such a turn, because the G-forces, and wind, would rip apart the light construction of the plane, I am surprised no one commented that anywhere.
It'd be more squeaky bum than Top Gun really.
@@ratOG. Probably because most of us understand that already.
@@Slemoster Well, that is possible aswell.
Edit. Autocorrect.
I love how they call him the fastest man alive when he is around mach 9. While there is a random astronaut in ISS moving at like mach 25.
3:10 Anyone see the flight path on the screen? He's been through several states in a few minutes
