Suggesting she’s unidentified. Maybe they intend to pass her to show Equestria what humans could do over 40 years ago as deterrence.
No SR would approach an unknown bogey like that. They would pull back (or rather speed up and outrun everything) and allow interceptors to investigate.
It could be approaching her
Even then it’d be going somewhere around Mach 2. Unless it was gaining or losing altitude to land.
Who says the blackbird is currently doing Mach 3.2?
The first sentence.
Where do you get this from?
@VladimirMacHolzraum
When she did the first Rainboom, we saw the compression several inches in front of her hoof. As part of the Required Secondary Powers of their flight, pegasi at extreme speeds emit an aerodynamic bubble that protects them from being ripped apart or cooked.
Pardon my physics derp, of course you’re right. So it would be because of the compression of air when travelling at supersonic speeds.
Or if she’s designed anything like a pony, she’d be a nice medium-rare by now.
Also, the heating is from the compression of the shockwave, not friction.
This pic is awesome.
