How long would it take a fighter jet to fly from New York to LA?

24,870 miles / 1,900 miles per hour = 13.08 hours. That is running at the maximum cruise speed of the Mig 25, but if the plane is going its absolute maximum speed (Mach 3.2) then the trip will only take about 11.5 hours.

How fast can a fighter jet get from California to New York?

The technology to go that fast certainly exists. Lockheed recently tested an unmanned aircraft — the HTV-2 — that hit Mach 20, or over 13,000 miles per hour. At that speed, the flight time between New York and Los Angeles would be 12 minutes.

How fast can a military jet travel across the US?

An F-16 can fly at speeds greater than Mach 2, more than two times the speed of sound. That means the fighter jet can hit in excess of 1,500 mph. One California Highway Patrol officer at the Bishop station told Business Insider his radar once read out at more than 300 mph.

How fast is the fastest US military jet?

The NASA/USAF X-15 is the fastest fighter jet ever produced. It reached record top speed of Mach 6.72 or 4,520 mph, which is more than five times the speed of sound.

How long does it take a fighter jet to go coast to coast?

It could make that trip at mach 0.9, about 675 mph. That translates to about 3 hours and 45 minutes. Supersonic trips would require engine afterburning and air refueling.

How fast is a f15 fighter jet?

1,875 mph

Which country has the fastest jet fighter?

Russia Unveils New Fighter Plane That Can Hit Speeds Two Times Faster Than Sound. Russia unveiled its newest fighter jet prototype on Tuesday and is said to be able to hit speeds 1.8 to 2 times faster than the speed of sound, the Associated Press reported.

How long would it take to fly from New York to Los Angeles?

At that speed, the flight time between New York and Los Angeles would be 12 minutes. The speed record for a human is held by the astronauts aboard Apollo 10, who, unencumbered by the drag of the atmosphere, hit 24,791 miles per hour on the return trip from the moon.

What is the speed of the fastest plane ever recorded?

On September 1, 1974, Major James Sullivan and his backseater, Major Noel F. Widdifield, set a speed record in SR-71A serial no. 64-17972, flying from New York to London in 1 hour 54 minutes and 56 seconds, for an average speed of 1,806.96 mph.

How long would it take to fly Mach 20?

The technology to go that fast certainly exists. Lockheed recently tested an unmanned aircraft — the HTV-2 — that hit Mach 20, or over 13,000 miles per hour. At that speed, the flight time between New York and Los Angeles would be 12 minutes.

How fast can a 12-passenger jet fly?

Reno, Nevada, based Aerion is developing a $110 million, 12-passenger business jet capable of hitting Mach 1.6 — or over 1,200 miles per hour. That’s roughly twice as fast as the $65 million Gulfstream G650, and would cut the travel time between New York and London from seven hours to just over four.
