your right, idk why i said that, ive been reading too much… But why go mach 1 when you can go mach 2?
That’s a great shot of that Tom at Mach!
I’ve seen it once. I was 14. It ruled.
Slow day at work today? 
Most aircraft can not do Mach 1 yet alone Mach 2; most modern day fighters can reach Mach 1-1.5 with afterburners (F-16/F-18), A select few can do Mach 2+ with afterburners. (F-15/Su-37)
There is only 1 aircraft in the world that can do Mach ~2 (>Mach 1.7 leaked, exact number still classified) WITHOUT afterburners… the F-22 Raptor!
The SR-71 was capable of > Mach 1 speeds without afterburner, but during normal Mach 3 operation the aircraft was in afterburner
The other HUGE issue is fuel consumption; in afterburner a jet engine consumes up to 10X the amount of fuel than when not.
UGH i’m dying over here today…
negative ghost rider, that pattern is full
they ‘say’ it can go mach 1.7 without afterburners and without external weapons (cruising speed haha) but i think the mach 2+ is with afterburners. nonetheless thats freaking fast. rumored to be capable of mach 2.5 max
And I bet you rode there on your extended swingarm drag bike right?
ahhh classic…
lol
I’ve always loved the F-22. It is one hellabadass plane. I love the thrust vectoring on it. That shit is hardcore.
:lol: wow you’re REALLY bored arent you.
Can it still break the sound barrier if its on a treadmill spinning in the opposite direction?
That helo pic is awesome
mythbusters?
