Check out this unbelievable simulation that shows the jaw-dropping speed difference between a Boeing 747 and a hypersonic Mach 10 Darkstar.
In this awesome simulation from Airplane Mode, you can see the Boeing 747 flying across the sky, much like when you look at any airplane heading off to sunny vacation destinations in the sky above your head.
In comparison, the simulation ends with a hypersonic Mach 10 Darkstar, and it zips by in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, zooming at 10 times the speed of sound.
Check out the amazing simulation above, you even get to see an F/A-18 Hornet Fighter jet traveling at Mach 1.
