Mach 20 means traveling at 20 times the speed of sound. This corresponds to approximately 15,345 miles per hour (mph) or about 23,854 kilometers per hour (km/h). The exact speed can vary slightly depending on altitude and air temperature but is generally around these values. For context, at this speed, a vehicle could travel extremely fast, such as from New York to Los Angeles in about 12 minutes.
Speed details:
- Mach 20 ≈ 15,345 mph (miles per hour)
- Mach 20 ≈ 23,854 km/h (kilometers per hour)
- This speed is hypersonic and far surpasses typical supersonic speeds, used in aerospace and military technology for advanced hypersonic vehicles.
