Mach speed is by definition the ratio of the speed of fluid moving through an object vs sound. It is often used with mechanical objects such as diffusers and nozzles. Plane engines and car engines have items in them that have "mach speed."

How fast is Mach 1 Mach 2 Mach 3 Mach 4 etc to the fastest Mach level on record?

The mach number is the speed, compared to the speed of sound in air. Thus, mach 1 is the speed of sound, mach 2 is twice (2 times) the speed of sound, mach 3 is 3 times the speed of sound, etc.


What is mach in airplane testing?

The "Mach number" is the speed of the aircraft as a percentage of the speed of sound. So an aircraft going at Mach 0.74 is traveling at 74% of the speed of sound. (Mach 0.74 is a typical airliner speed.)


How fast is Mach 2.4 in mph?

Mach 24 is roughly equal 18,264 miles per hour. Mach is a term used to describe the ration of the speed of an object to the speed of sound. The speed of sound, at sea level, is roughly 761 mph. Mach 24 means that the ration of the speed of an object to the speed of sound is 24, meaning 24 times the speed of sound. Thus, at sea level, an object travelling at mach 24 is travelling at 24 times 761mph, which is 18,264 miles per hour.
