I could wave my arm around in the air and then speed up the video to make it look like my arm was moving 4520 MPH.

@GuiltyIsland We were all expecting to see an X-15 performing a fly-by, but instead we saw a couple of F-18s. That's why

@morace250 did not know that and ur right i just lookedit up:D

[morace250]

Not the fastest by far Nov 16th 2004 NASA's x-43a scramjet did mach 9.6 or nearly 7000mph

@tnbourne Yes, great, noone gives a shit

[xshadowdancer]

f-18 weirdo lies lies lies can't believe a word u say

@FALCO64125 Well maybe, however, he makes it clear from the start of the video with his commentary doesn't he. Anyway, I still think it was a good idea to give people an idea of what mach 6.7 might look like at sea level:-)

Thanks.

@ianrkav Well there are not ads placed on this video, but it doesn't matter why he worded the title that way. It's misleading and people don't like being misled. Personally, I didn't rate it, but it's easy to see why people would thumbs down.

[ianrkav]

@FALCO64125 It was a misleading title I suppose but do you think he did it on purpose to gain advert money?

[FALCO64125]

@ianrkav It got dislikes because the title suggest a video of an actual 4520 mph flyby. Perhaps the title should have been "Simulated x-15 fly-by at 4,520 MPH fastest aircraft in the world"

[FALCO64125]

The reason you don't see super sonic aircraft doing fly by's at top speeds is they only achieve those speeds at extremely high altitudes where the atmosphere is much thinner. Even at those high altitudes in the thin air, they still contend with excessive heating of the exterior. At lower altitudes, even if the engines could accelerate to those speeds in the thicker atmosphere, the heat would be extreme.

@raditz5 Will he have got advertising money for this? If so, how much? He has over half a million views, which is impressive I suppose.
