Dementia Joe told Americans on Wednesday that the US will have “commercial aircraft flying at subsonic speeds, supersonic speeds, be able to figuratively, if you may, if we decide to do it, be able to traverse the world in an hour, travel at 21,000 miles an hour.”
Er, waat? ....That comes out to Mach 32.0.
The US F-100 Super Sabre fighter plane flies at 864 mph.
The Phantom II goes 1,472 mph.
That’s also about 3 times faster than the Saturn Rocket that took Apollo astronauts to the moon. And forget about what that kind of acceleration would do to passengers.
Obviously, Joe does not know what he’s talking about.
Mediaite reported:
President Joe Biden claimed Wednesday that commercial aircraft would soon be able to travel at speeds of up to 21,000 miles per hour.
“I tell the kids, the young people that work for me — I told my kids, when I go on college campuses, they’re going to see more change in the next 10 years than we’ve seen in the last 50 years,” Biden said during an address about his proposed infrastructure legislation. “We’re going to talk about commercial aircraft flying at subsonic speeds, supersonic speeds, be able to figuratively, if you may, if we decide to do it, be able to traverse the world in an hour, travel at 21,000 miles an hour.”
It was not clear what Biden meant by “figuratively.” The speed he suggested is roughly equivalent to Mach 28, which would make airlines capable of traversing the 2,400 miles between New York and Los Angeles in roughly seven minutes. The fastest commercial airliners presently travel at speeds of about 600 miles per hour, a little less than Mach 1.
THANKS SO MUCH,, IT MEANS THE WORLD TO US IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES

Maybe they should put Sleepy Joe in one of those "subsonic" 21000mph flights, fasten his seat belt, and... one way ticket.
And this ignorant democrat isn't even capable to tell the difference between subsonic and supersonic.
PS: The fastest commercial airliner so far was the Concorde, flying at Mach2.02 - twice the speed of sound with 128 seats (100 passengers max onboard) - that is 1333mph (2145 km/h).
Only 20 Concordes have been built, including the prototypes. They were operated by Air France and British Airways only and were flying between JFK and Paris CDG or London Heathrow in just around 3 hours on a regular basis.
Back in 1977, one Concorde flew under the Singapore Airline paint job, but in fact the left side was adorned with the Singapore Airlines livery, while the right side was in the British Airways livery. Concorde came into service in 1976, an the last model was built in 1979. These superb aircrafts performed thousands of scheduled flights all around the globe until the entire fleet was retired of service in 2003.
Apart from the russian Tupolev TU-144 which was a disastrous bad copy of the Concorde and a complete technical and commercial failure, the magnificient Concorde was (and most probably forever will be) the one and only supersonic commercial airliner.
Trump can now call him "ROCKET MAN"
