the australian geospatial intelligence organization is rita's,ing satellir retasking to that area.t can we read into the aircraft speed now being assessed at radically different to what we thought? >> i don't have an answer for that. because you're already at 450. that means the altitude may have had to change as well. to increase past that mark, you're going up against mach. limits to that aircraft. to be faster than that it surprises me. >> let me bring in david funk because he's a pilot. david funk when you heard that new information, the aircraft traveling faster than previously estimated resulting in increased fuel usage and reducing the distance it may have traveled, what do you read into that from a pilot point of view? >> well, my initial guess is that their altitude probably was maybe 10,000 feet lower. you can fly at a much higher mach number in the mid 20,000 foot range than you can in the mid 30,000 foot range. however, your fuel consume, goes up significantly. we do know how long the airplane flew approximately based on the pings. so that's going to give us an area. fr
