What would be the maximum velocity an airplane would need to guarantee a 100% survival rate from a Tsar Bomba detonation?

>> No.8270231

2700 dollars per hour

>> No.8270257

>>8270222

That depends.

>> No.8270294

Dependent upon time of release, time of detonation, ect.

I think most importantly one would have to take into account the composition of the atmosphere at the detonation site as ensure how fast the shockwave propagates following detonation.

>>8270222
I mean, the plane that dropped it survived

>> No.8271404

>>8271390
IIRC they used a parachute to slow down the bomb and buy more time for the pilot.

>> No.8271410

>>8270222
How close is it to the detonation?

>> No.8271412

>>8270222
99.something% the speed of light, but you probably wanted to know the _minimum_ velocity required.

>> No.8271435

>>8271404

Even then they nearly lost control of the bomber after it went off

>> No.8271443

>>8271412
Pretty sure it is warp speed 9.995

>> No.8271454

stupid question, but what about initial rediation won't it affect the pilots too?

>> No.8271503

>>8271454
They use a blue filter on their glasses so they are not affected by rediation.

Depends, how hard are you going to chuck it?

>>8271454
instrument panels are blacked out and even then it would still be blindingly bright, so the air force developed goggles that became opaque from a flash of light

lightspeed

you mean minimum

>> No.8272550

>>8270222
Your question is so ill-posed on so many levels, it hurts my brain that you have gotten so many "serious" answers. But then again, what do you expect on a Venesian rat-fucking image board?

>> No.8272721

>>8270222
Just kill yourself.
