“A situation that human physiology is not designed to survive. So, no. Maverick does not walk away from this.
He be dead. Very dead.”At supersonic speeds, air cannot smoothly part for you. You must pierce it, which largely accounts for the difference in fuselage designs between subsonic and supersonic planes.For this reason, the air on your body, if ejecting at these speeds, might as well be a brick wall.
