Default Speed of sound vs. elevation

Trapnell:

I've already done it.

Launched from a B-57F at 65,000 feet while running 0.9 Mach.

Of course it was only good for one flight.

Haw.

But to speak true, I don't think anyone could fly such an airplane without a virtual cockpit. Watching and flying it from ground level would approach an impossibility. 250 mph is bad enough.

Fly your twin at Mach one plus -
. When it hits the tower, what a fuss!

Bill.
