And speaking of ballistics, assuming the sled weighs 100 pounds (and it likely weighs more), traveling at 9,679 fps it would have 145,601,369 foot pounds of energy. Almost as much as a 10mm....

This is the science research I want my tax dollars to go to. No mating habits of Bees in the arctic. I wish there was more explanation like what they are using to get that kind of speed. Those guys have a pretty cool job. The difference between science and screwing around is writing down the results. | |||

At 1 mile per second is 10 miles enough. | |||

If it ends in a ramp by the ocean, sure! I'm curious how the heck they slow this down without destroying whatever is flying down the track. Water seems like it would rip apart whatever's on the run. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

Actually, 1.833 miles per second. "And gentlemen in England now abed, shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day" | |||

One of the other videos said they use a water brake and showed it in use. It brought the sled from <whatever the top speed was> to zero in about a second. Kind of puts a carrier trap in perspective. | |||

Damn. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I'm sending the U-Toob link to my Granddaughter who is in the Junior year of her Aeronautical Engineer major  If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

Please remind me, is "Plaid"'speed faster or slower than "Ludicrous Speed"? __________ "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy." | |||

I'd like to see a video of that as much as the original video. "The Truth, when first uttered, is always considered heresy." | |||

Look at the middle of three clips at the bottom of the page in the OP. At about the 3:40 mark. Link to original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkcSsZttuxg | |||

Wait, what? |
Plaid is the visual manifestation of going ludicrous speed, not a speed itself. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

That guy had balls of steel to ride that thing through 40g’s of deceleration. Thanks for posting. | |||

And then there are these. No need for rails. No mass. 186,000 mps. Coming to a theater near you soon. "And gentlemen in England now abed, shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day" | |||
