How fast and how far can QSST fly?

QSST Quiet Supersonic Transport
QSST can fly at speeds of Mach 1.6 to 1.8, which is 1056 to 1,188 miles per hour, with a non-stop range that will exceed 4,000 nautical miles, or over 4,600 statute miles.

How high, how fast, and how far will we fly?

The 25th Annual Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning...
Hot air balloons usually cruise at an altitude of 1.000 feet above ground. Many balloon flights occur between 50 and 2,000 feet above the ground, but balloons can fly at treetop level or go much higher. Once the balloon reaches 12,500 feet, oxygen is required. (But rest assured, none of the balloons at the Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning will fly anywhere near that high.

Light Flight Service 3
We usually fly at tree top height to enjoy an "aerial nature walk." Our altitude is dependent upon the wind and what is below us, but generally up to 1,000 feet and sometimes higher. We fly in light winds of ten miles per hour or less. Our speed is that of the wind and distance will vary with the speed. We generally fly from four to eight miles on a flight. Where we fly from and to will be based solely on the wind.

How (high/far/fast) can they fly?

FAQs
The radios we use have an effective range of around to a mile. Therefore, "technically" you should be able to fly up to that far away. However, in actual practice this is not the case. You can control the aircraft only as long as you can visually see it and determine its orientation (or in other words, tell what it is doing). The farther away it gets, the smaller it appears. Thus, at the point it you can no longer clearly see it, you are no longer in control of it..

How fast do they fly?

British Dragonfly Society
The maximum speed of large species like the hawkers is around 10-15 metres/sec, or roughly 25-30 mph. Average cruising speed is probably about 10 mph. Small species, and especially damselflies, are generally slower, although many medium-sized species can probably keep up with the largest ones.

Well, that depends on the winds. Since we fly with the winds, if the wind is 2 mph, we will fly about 2 miles. If the wind is 8 mph, we will fly closer to 8 miles. You get the picture.

How high will QSST fly?

QSST Quiet Supersonic Transport
QSST will typically cruise at altitudes of 40,000 to 60,000 feet, with an anticipated initial cruise altitude of 47,000 feet at maximum weight. SAI with Lockheed Martin has engaged all three of the premier engine builders, General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce that have each provided new "state-of-the-art" engine design concepts to meet QSST's thrust requirements of approximately 33,000 pounds of thrust per engine. SAI will select an engine for QSST sometime in 2008.

How fast, far and high does Concorde fly?

CONCORDE SST : FAQ
The aircraft flies at twice the speed of sound (Mach 2), which is around 1350 mph (depending on the temperature of the surrounding air). Take-off and landing speeds are considerably higher than for traditional subsonic aircraft. The range of the aircraft, with 100 passengers and 9 crew, under the correct conditions is about 4,500 miles. The maximum height Concorde can fly to is 60,000 ft (over 11 miles high).

Typically gliders fly at a sedate 50 ? 70 knots (around 90 ? 135 kph) between thermals. When circling in lift the speed may be as little as 40 knots (70 kph). The highest speed that gliders typically can fly at is 135 knots (250 kph)

How far can mosquitoes fly?

CCMCD - Frequently Asked Questions
Mosquitoes species preferring to breed around the house, like the Asian Tiger Mosquito, have limited flight ranges of about 300 feet. Most species have flight ranges of 1-3 miles. Certain large pool breeders in the Midwest are often found up to 7 miles from known breeding spots. the undisputed champions, though, are the salt marsh breeders - having been known to migrate up to 100 miles in exceptional circumstances, although 20 - 40 miles are much more common when hosts are scarce.

The flight distance depends on technology, operation, and regulation. Technology defines the type of data communication, e.g. the frequency, the power, and the resulting range of the data link when operating the UAV. When flying in manual mode, line-of-sight between the pilot and the helicopter is required. Manual flights are normally a few hundreds of meters while autonomous flights of Aeroscout UAVs are up to a few kilometers. Regulations vary for all countries, e.g.

I don't think they have been clocked but certainly some fast-flying skippers can fly 30 mile per hour or faster. Slow flying butterflies probably fly 5 mph or a little more. During fall migration migrating Monarchs have been seen flying by tall buildings such as the Empire State Building at 1,000+ ft. Butterflies are picked up by storm fronts and moved 100's of miles, probably at altitudes of several thousand feet.

These are numbers that are unique to each bicycle design. Commercial bikes generally obey the 32 km/hr speed limit, and many cut out closer to 24 km/hr to comply with regulations in other countries. It is easy to make a homemade bike that goes over 45 km/hr while still in the 500 watt power limit. The range depends almost entirely on the size of the battery pack. Most commercial bikes skimp out in this regard and (advertized claims aside) can only go 20 to 30 km under typical use.

How can the CarterCopter fly so fast and efficiently? Shouldn't the rotor slow it down?

CarterCopter FAQ on CarterAviationTechnologies.com
The CarterCopter is a hybrid between an airplane and a rotorcraft. A rotor is a very efficient device for providing lift at low speeds, but its drag increases rapidly as the aircraft goes faster if it must continue to support the aircraft. In the CarterCopter, as the aircraft speeds up and the wings begin producing more of the lift, the rotor produces less lift and can slow down given the correct control input.
