Florida Plane Crash (11-01-2026) I am not expert with this kind of info, but a learjet traveling 20,000 feet per second sounded unreasonable to me. So I asked Grok and this was the answer I got back... Grok: No, a Learjet cannot fall at 20,000 feet per second in Earth’s atmosphere. Speed conversion: 20,000 feet per second equals roughly 13,636 mph (about Mach 18 near sea level). Why a Learjet can’t reach that speed: - Learjets are business jets with maximum speeds typically in the Mach 0.8–0.9 range (roughly 500–600 mph, or well under 1,000 feet per second). Their airframes are not designed for anything close to 13,000+ mph. - Even in a pure vertical nose-down dive from high altitude, aerodynamic drag rises with the square of speed. The plane would hit a terminal velocity far below 20,000 ft/s long before structural limits were reached. - At those speeds, extreme aerodynamic heating and dynamic pressure would destroy the aircraft (the airframe would break up or burn up). In short: a straight-down nose dive would produce the highest possible speed, but physics (drag) and the Learjet’s structural limits prevent anything remotely close to 20,000 ft/s. Speeds in that range are more in the realm of ballistic missiles or spacecraft during re-entry, not conventional aircraft. 😳
