Mach speeds over long distances.
To my knowledge the fastest travel we have reached is the Avangard missile which can travel at mach 27. I have had discussions with Chat GPT about what would happen to something if it was traveling at mach 27 and had to make a turn at 8” per mile squared. I was told it would destroy the traveling missile. Then when I frame it in terms of globe curvature correction it changes it answer.
Why would Chat change it's answer?
Is it possible for a missile traveling at mach 27 beginning at a max height of 100 km descending to its target over a globe with a range of 10,000 km to not be destroyed by "g-forces" of the arc of travel while traveling at that speed? Or is it only possible when such a missile travels at this speed on a flat and level plane?
