How high can a human fly?
How high can a human fly? Overall, humans without any special equipment might be limited to flying at sub-sonic speeds under 1000km/h, and may only be able to fly at a couple of hundred km/h comfortably. Top altitudes will be about 5000 feet, depending on local climate and geography.
What is the fastest a human could fly?
And in 1967, pilot Pete Knight reached the record speed of 4,520 mph, or Mach 6.7 (6.7 times the speed of sound).
Why did humans not evolve to fly?
And now, scientists have determined that we never will: it is mathematically impossible for humans to fly like birds. A bird can fly because its wingspan and the wing muscle strength are in balance with its body size. It has a lightweight skeleton with hollow bones, which puts a smaller load on its wings.
Could a human eject at Mach 10?
If you simply ejected at Mach 10 using a regular jet's ejection system, or even a pressure suit, you would not survive.
