AGI calculated Santa's movement based on NORAD data, and now that the world's population has exceeded 8 billion, Santa must fly at Mach 7, seven times the speed of sound, to present gifts to children around the world. It is said that it is no longer possible to deliver. Santa's speed is astounding, as the world's fastest commercial aircraft, the MiG-25 and SR-71 , fly at speeds equivalent to Mach 3.

``Something that fast is hypersonic , and you can see it long before you hear it,'' Gorsky said. Maybe,' he said.

As for how NORAD tracks Santa flying at such high speed, the magical reindeer's red nose seems to emit an infrared signal similar to a missile, so it seems that Santa can be tracked with a heat sensor that captures infrared rays. It is said that it is
