What is the range of jet blast?
What is the range of jet blast? Jet Blast Data This profile extends in line from the outboard wing-mounted engines to more than 200 feet behind some larger aircraft. Within this area, jet engines can generate hurricane-level exhaust forces approaching 100 knots.
Has Mach 10 been reached?
Mach 10 speed has never been achieved by a manned aircraft, though, so it has never been tested. Mach 10 has, however, been achieved by a spacecraft - on November 16, 2004, NASA launched the X-43A, an air-breathing hypersonic vehicle, and was able to reach real Mach 10 while being pushed into the atmosphere.
What happens if you stand next to a jet engine?
It could suck you in and less than a second later blow you out the rear as a lovely pink mist, then the engine will likely explode. Why don't high bypass jet engines have a variable pitch on the engine fan?
What is the 500ft rule in aviation?
An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
