Check in Jaynes latest Military Aircraft guide the jet, holds the *official speed record of 2,193 mph, *about Mach 3.3. And although officially retired from federal service, early 1990, the SR-71 Blackbird, *would be a slow-poke compared to the Mach 8 aircraft (5,280 mph) seen today. How about that for a zinger?
However, seemingly still classified is the Blackbird's flight range and her true flight ceiling. (Pardon my spelling please? It be a bit late.)
*That comes from here: *Mach 8 Aircraft at: j_kidd.tripod.com/b/126.html - (NOT A LINK)
I hope gets a bit more specific answer for your question.

Hello.
My name is Papa Frank. I am a Protestant Minister, so of course you're going to get an answer favoring LIFE AFTER DEATH.
FIRST, let me offer the BIBLICAL FACT OF RESURRECTION, or LIFE AFTER DEATH. Jesus was the first, raised from the grave after the three days as spoken of in the Bible. Those three miraculous days were prophesied about Jesus from the Old Testament even to the days of the New Testament . . . to the days of Jesus's death. (No. I'm not going to preach to you. I will try, to reason with you.) The Holy Scriptures, in Jesus's case go as far as "predicting" His manner of death, the reason He'll die, the time frame He'll die and WHO will in fact kill Him.
LATER, the Bible speaks to the fact Jesus's followers will also BODILY BE RAISED FROM THE DEAD! No where does it say we'll be raised as an ethereal being (a ghostly, spirit being) and this ENTIRE EVENT WOULD AND WILL BE COMPLETELY ESOTERIC (not understandable by simpletons like you, me, and the evereryday human dum-dum walking the stinking streets of Medieval Europe & England and Modern America and the World . . . unless of course you wore glamorous, elaborate, colorful robes and fancy dan shirts with cute little white collars tucked quaintly inside.) Well dear young person, God placed in His Bible a passage clearly stating WE are responsible for our understanding. Number one, the Bible says in 2 Timothy Ch. 2, v. 15 (New Century Version) : "Make every effort to give yourself to God as the kind of person he will approve." In the King James Version the same verse says, "Study to shew (show) thyself approved...." GOD also said in,"Philippians, Ch. 2, v. 12:(New King James Version) "Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, ... now in my absence, ... work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;" And at last here, I want to challenge you as the Apostle Peter challenged the Jews of his day. This being after Jesus died, was entombed, rose, walked the earth a RESURRECTED MAN, KNOWN(!!) BY OTHER MEN AND WOMEN AND EATING AND DRINKING, JUST AS WHEN HE WAS ALIVE BEFORE(!!) HIS CRUCIFICTION, THEN AT LAST, TAKEN TO HEAVEN TO BE WITH HIS FATHER, JEHOVAH GOD, ON THE CLOUDS LEAVING FINAL WORDS OF BLESSING AND REMINDING THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD COME IN HIS PLACE! This self same Jesus ROSE! In HIS BODY, not a ghost, or a horse, beatle, fly, fox, cow, or monkey, etc. He ate, drank, slept, talked and taught with His loved ones and His disciples. He even had Thomas, The One Who Doubted, place his hands in the scarred wounds in His hands feet and side. Here's how it went, according to John's Gospel, Ch. 20, New King James Version: "... Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst,[of the disciples] and said, 'Peace to you!' 27 Then He said to Thomas, 'Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.' ” 28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, 'Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.' ”
And at LONG LAST. For those who teach the principle of REINCARNATION, do not even teach it as a faith principle of their religion. It's taught as a DEMANDED AND ACCEPTED BELIEF OF THEIR RELIGIOUS SYSTEM. AND. Although these relgions DO NOT teach a punishment, judgment, restitutin priciple or any form of justice for sins committed, THEY DO TEACH THAT YOU!!! COME BACK AS A LOWER/DIFFERENT LIFE FORM AS "KARMAIC" PUNISHMENT, NOT THE PUNISHMENT OF THEIR GOD, BUT OF KARMA, WHO IS A GOD PRINCIPLE OF THEIR FAITH.
KARMA, MAKES YOU COME BACK AS A LOWER LIFE FORM; bug, ant, rat, snake, monkey, mule, cow, dog, and so on, where as commonly misunderstood, MOST OF THE ANIMAL GODS ARE NOT WORSHIPPED. THEY ARE MERELY FED, APPEASED, VENERATED AND SO ON AS THEY COULD BE ..... COULD BE !!! ..... A GOD. OR!! THE ANIMAL COULD BE. UNCLE BILL, AUNT MARY, COUSIN SINBAH-HAN, OR MOMMY OR DADDY. The practitioner worships appropriately, so their ticket to Shambahla, Paradiase, or where ever, gets "punched." And they come back as the "right animal" in each resurrection. Yes. I said EACH RESURRECTION. You get to resurrect and re-resurrect, over, and over again. Until you get it right and get to go AT LEAST TO NERVANA!! And NO, that's NOT where Kurt Koban went. (Is that really how the poor kid spelled his name?)
And you see Dear Young Person, the "principle" of resurrection is a Faith principle backed by multiple witnesses, begun thousands of years ago by a GOD for His chosen people, NOT only the Jewish people, but ALL those who've chosen to believe in His Son and the redeeming work Jesus did. And that believer is restored to THEIR LIFE in THEIR OWN BODY completely MADE WHOLE, DISEASE FREE, FAT FREE, EYES PERFECTED, NO CARDIAC ISSUES, NO DIABETES, ARTHRITIS, NOTHING
Reincarnation, is merely the "slapping on" of body tissue, flesh; meat; to a body. Any body.
Re-animation is again a mandated "belief" exactly like a cult or what's referred to even by popular (a.k.a. mainstream) media as false religions, ie. the Moonies. Re-animation and reincarnation of dead tissue are the same thing. Resurrection is BRINGING AN INDIVIDUAL BACK FROM THE DEAD, IN THEIR PHYSICAL BODY, WITH ALL THEIR OWN "ORIGINAL PARTS," NOTHING "AFTER MARKET" (chuckle) like on a car rebuild or a people rebuild (LOL ?) AND NO ... MODIFICATIONS. The RESURRECTED BODY is merely returned in, allow me, LIKE NEW, condition.
For example, I and a friend of mine, Mike, are both Vietnam Veterans. I was a medic. Mike an Infantryman. Mike was part of a patrol on his way back to firebase from a very long time in the bush on a "movement to contact" (let's go pick a fight), followed by an ambush patrol for the following three nights. After 7 or 8 days, his platoon was finally headed back in for some rest, shower, resupply, hot food, and re-fit for their next mission. His Platoon Leader and Sergeant were confident they were close enough in, they set up minimal security, and let the men take some lunch, cop a snooze, cool off in the stream right next to them then switch with the security. Once everyone was fed, cooed and rested a bit, they loaded up and started on in to firebase. Mike took back point rather than be relieved and about 10 steps down the "trail," Mike stepped into a tripwire. It triggered a transverse mounted charge that ripped into Mike and 4 other men. One was killed outright. Three wounded, including Mike. One wounded would not make the dust-off helicopter; he died. A third died in hospital, in the ER. I was priveleged to go to church with Mike.
Mike had Word from God, bth prophetic (spoken by a human servant of the LORD over him, AFTER, Mike was given several Bible passages from his quiet/prayer time about his life. HIS PASSAGES "spoke" directly to him about the RESURRECTED BODY Mike would have once he got to heaven. It was or is a pretty tall order too. You see, Mike lost 20 some feet of bowel, including most of his colon. He lost 3 of 5 fingers on his right hand and four of five on his left. Rebuilt by scrap . . . yes, I said SCRAP . . . BONE from his BLOWN OFF LEGS AND SHATTERED LEFT HIP. His lower spinal column and cord are gone. He sits on a NYLON and PLASTIC reconstruction, poops and pees in a bag, his last FOUR children were born through invetro-fertilization. Since Vietnam he and his wife have NOT made love. He has NOTHING TO FULFILL HIS PART WITH! Mike laughs about it, as you see the pain in his eyes and his heart, that he, "Left his most important part somewhere in Vietnam. Probably fertilizing some Dink's rice paddy instead of [his] wife." Mike ends the story about his "manhood" with, "I never have had, nor will I ever have a more dramatic blow job in my life."
Mike gets very serious when he testifys to GOD'S blessing over him with a BRAND NEW BODY. WHOLE. WITH TWO WORKING, COMPLETE LEGS, TWO WHOLE AND STRONG ARMS AND HANDS, AND THEN MIKE SAYS, "And my God, my Jehovah Jireh (God my Healer) promised me to new eyes to replace the ones burned by the flash of the explosion, so I can see my beautiful wife once again. You see Brothers and Sisters, MY GOD, and He can be yours too, promised this child, A WHOLE NEW RESURRECTION BODY, BEFORE(!!!) JESUS COMES BACK! SO WHEN HE DOES COME BACK, I'LL BE HOLDING MY WIFE'S HAND AND WALKING BY HER SIDE TO MEET HIM. NOT! NOT, IN THIS BLASTED WHEELCHAIR ANYMORE."
I don't have THAT promise, but that SAME GOD, PROMISES ME, MY WOUNDED, ARTHRITIC BEATEN BODY, will also be restored. At the time He says. Because God promised His children new, spiritual, recognizable bodies. Capable of lasting through eternity. AND, that I would be united with my family in His Kingdom, all who've accepted Him, in RESURRECTED BODIES THAT ARE THEM. NOT SOMETHING UNKNOWN TO ME. The Apostle to the Gentiles, Paul, (a.k.a. Saul of Tarsus) spoke that as part of his teachings when he said in one of his two letters to the Corinthian churches, "You will be changed, in the twinkling of an eye, you will be changed," and he went on with that teaching, ... you WILL know as you do know ... (paraphrased). Here. Look for yourself, from the New King James Version,1 Corinthians Ch.13: v.12: "For now we see in a mirror, dimly (right now we see things, including your question, as if we're looking in a mirror with no answer, because the mirror is old, dirty and dulled), but then face to face (but then : the future, heaven; looking AT one another). Now I know in part (right now we have thousands of questions no one seems to be able to answer), but then (in heaven, or in OUR future, HELL?) I shall know just as I also am known.(I WILL KNOW everyone I've ever known, and THEY WILL know me . . . even after death . . . PROOF, of life after death.)
Hinduism and the other isms who promise reincarnation, make no such promise. No. They make NO SUCH GUARANTEE! They only promise you get . . . another shot at life, AFTER YOU'VE PAID ENOUGH PENENCE AS SOME OTHER LIFE FORM.
As I said before, I'm no fancey titled bishop, prophet, apostle, pope, elder, Most High anything, not a priest, nor a church leading pastor right now. I lead a veteran-to-veteran outreach, in a little midwestern town trying to pretend it's New York City. (chuckle, again) I minister to veterans having problems with war memories and it tells deeply on them, their families, friends, and communities. I just work when the LORD calls me to, where He calls me to. I hope I'm not too late for your school project, and I pray God's blessing on it for you. No confusion, no confoundedness, with all the answers I KNOW you've received.
I finally, pray I've been of some help, somehow.
May God bless you. And speak to you however He can in this,
