How long on a jet from Palm Springs to Texas?

If you were to fly in the "SR-71 Blackbird" how long would it take you to go from Palm Springs, CA to Housten Texas?





thanks if anyone can answer.

How long on a jet from Palm Springs to Texas?
It would take about 40 minutes, depending on a variety of unknown variables (biggest one being that it is no longer in service) ... ATC clearance, altitude assigned, wind/atmospheric conditions if it were still flying.





Since Houston is about 1200 nautical miles from Palm Springs, divide that by 2200 which is the estimated top speed of the SR-71, and you get .55 of an hour or 33 minutes. It takes some time to get up to speed, and slow down for landing, so 40 or a few more minutes is all it would take.
