This RC Jet is INSANE 🤯 | Jason Kujan

NASA took a major step toward redefining high-speed flight on Nov. 16, 2004. The X-43A, a small, experimental aircraft, proved that an engine drawing oxygen from the atmosphere could propel an aircraft to hypersonic speeds – greater than Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound. During the flight over the Pacific Ocean west of California, the X-43A set the world speed record for a jet-powered aircraft, reaching Mach 9.6, or nearly 7,000 mph. The mission originated from NASA’s Armstrong Flight Re

The most common question we get asked at events is how fast do these go? At the events, the average speed is usually 100 to 200 miles an hour. Some people have been known to push their airplane to 300 miles an hour, but the world record for the fastest an RC jet has ever been flown was in Germany in 2017 at 465 mph.
