What is mach 10 speed?

Mach 10 speed refers to traveling at a speed of ten times the speed of sound or 10,320 km/h (6,420 mph) at sea level. At Mach 10, an aircraft or missile could travel from Los Angeles to New York in just 12 minutes. This speed is currently unattainable by manned aircraft due to technical limitations, but is achievable by some unmanned hypersonic vehicles. Mach 10 speed presents significant engineering and technological challenges, including managing extreme heat and pressure and maintaining control of the vehicle at such high speeds. The potential military and commercial applications of Mach 10 technology are numerous, including faster travel and delivery of goods, reconnaissance, and missile defense.
