An uncle of mine wants to know what the terminal velocity (top speed) of the Space Shuttle is just before it reaches its destination altitude in orbit? So far I only know that it can reach Mach 30 (as I saw on TV). It also occured to me that the Shuttle can reach a higher speed but never does because its travel distance to orbit (and fuel) isn't enough for it to actually reach its "potential maximum" (as I like to call it) speed.
Please give your answer in:
* km/h
* mph
* Mach

Thanx everybody!

The book says a design speed of Mach 3.2 and a max useable speed of Mach 3.3. (1925 KTAS)

In order to maintain combustion, the airflow has to be slowed down to subsonic (actually, about 800 feet per second). This causes high inlet temperatures which are limited to 427C.

Given that the energy in the airflow is equal to 1/2 density times velocity squared, any increase in the speed of the SR-71 would cause the temperature to rise exponentially. (At least that's the way I understand it)

So how much faster could it really go since it was at the limits of technology in the 1960s?
