I flew to an ltitude of 85,000 feet at mach 2.5 over Russia. What a RUSH-uh

  • Yes, you are right. We hit a max airspeed of mach 2.7 Even though it was about 60 below outside, the plastic bubble was warm to the touch.

  • If there had been a decompression above 60,000 feet, I would have died.

  • To the best of my knowledge, MiG 25 flights are around $20,000. now

  • I could tell how high I was because of the earth's curvature, and in order to keep the engines 'li", we'd have to be going that fast.

  • There was no sensation of moving at all. When we crossed over from sub sonic to supersonic, there was no way of telling unless you were watching the mach guage.

  • 85,000 feet and no pressurized suit? . If you lost cabin pressure your blood would instantly boil. Risky

    I've got brass balls, but I'm not particularly cautious.

  • 3:6 in space???? :o

  • very impressive altitude....

  • Nice

  • what i would give, to have done that, or ever do it....lucky bastard. lol.

  • And thats a question- Why should i pay a billions of dollars and stend up in the big line to fly into space, when i could pay only 20 000$ for it)

    Or i could not pay and whatch in on YT. xD

  • Eleven people are jealous!

    Actually you have to go mach 2.35 or batter at 80,000ft because of the air-density or I should say nearly lack of it. The volume of air that must be pushed over the lifting surfaces to produce lift is directly related density of the atmosphere you fly in. Higher Density less volume you need push over the wing to produce the same amount lift for a given wing area. The engines are turbojets-- they process atmosphere at a fix velocity and can overspeed easily even at 80k.

  • What if there is decompression?
