Best Answer

The Mach number for the speed of an object travelling through a particular medium is the ratio of the object's speed relative to the speed of sound through the same medium. The speed of sound through any medium depends on the nature and density of the medium and, as a result, so does the Mach number. In air, the Mach ratio is mostly dependent on temperature and humidity, less so on altitude.

Generally, Mach 1 (in air, at standard sea level conditions, and at 15 deg C) is approx 760 mph. So Mach 3 would be approx 2280 mph. But Mach 3 in water, for example, would be much faster since sound travels faster in water.

What does mach 3 mean in aeronautics?

Mach 3 refers to traveling at a speed three times the speed of sound. In aeronautics, Mach numbers are used to compare the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the medium through which the object is traveling. Mach 3 is considered to be supersonic speed.
