No it flies only at 70 000 ft..max was 5.1 mach..another crashed.

I think you ought to go to 120-150 000 ft and first fly a zoom flight with turbofan to 70 -100 000 ft and there after ignite the rocked boosters to really get it going in thin air.

Ahhh because I remember on a video about a Hypersonic Scramjet went up to Mach 15. I think my circumstances we’re a little bit wrong Infact. Well the X-51 Scarmjet Hypersonic plane has a Substantially big Mach numbers. Why big Mach numbers soo large? Speed isn’t exactly what we want but we need a High Mach number to reach another planet or reach space.

Conclusion: Very nice what the X-51 can do. Big Mach number, can be useful in a way to reach space, but I wouldn’t want to fly one because a big Mach number can make you fly all the way to China if you eject. But I would want to get in to one to get to a planet in space FASTER.

I see your grandsons problem. I’m sure he should be ashamed of himself for not stopping his video games. Video games shouldn’t been maken in the 1st place. Now kids are getting overweight buy video games. Long ago in the calm days we’ve only played those arcade games. Member those days? Sure there pretty fun to remember. I remember the PACman game. But without video games, it would’ve been the best place overall with out that damn technology like Xbox, Playstation. My cousin hates looking at other kids pretending to be cool. He says that they should be ashamed of what there doing. My cousin says video games are boring he only plays it when his friends are at his place. He is always on the book of Aircraft learning about planes. That’s what makes me proud of him. I’m sure he’ll follow his dreams as a Naval Pilot.

Yes sometimes it can attract kids. Infact, kids are mostly into the sports kind of thing today. My 11 year old cousin LOVES aviation like literly he loves many military aircraft like the Super Hornet, F-16, F-22, F-35 and many more planes. He told me that he wants to be a pilot in the Navy flying the F/A-18E/F which amazes me what he wants to be when he’s all grown up. I just can’t belive that long ago kids were kids, but today kids are sporty and they dress all stupid with their caps and saggy pants REALLY? This social world world is turning into some nonsense I can’t belive what the world is turning into today. I really hate seeing kids with their sporting clothes and hats thinking that their cool. What are the parents thinking? Sure kids are sporty but it’s very disappointing and unacceptable how kids are dressing and look at bad stuff and swear in front of people. But anyways aviation will and always attract kids when and whenever they want to be interested in it.
