    How fast was the Falcon HTV-2 traveling when it crashed?

    Question #122988. Asked by serpa. (Aug 11 11 11:12 PM)

    		It would seem that the exact speed as it crashed is unknown.

    Officials at the US Defence Advance Research Projects Agency (Darpa) announced they had lost communication with the speeding craft at 4.21pm BST, 36 minutes into the flight.

    The unmanned "hypersonic technology vehicle" was expected to reach a top speed of Mach 20, or 13,000 mph, and withstand temperatures of 2000C caused by the ultrafast flow of air around the aircraft.
