This is at 20 degrees Celsius, so it's a nice comfortable temperature at sea level, which is roughly about 760 miles per hour. Now if the temperature were to drop, so if temperature goes down, so does the speed of sound. And likewise, if the temperature goes up, the speed of sound goes up.
One single company won more than three-quarters of these funds, however, in a single contract win: Hellfire Systems. Hellfire, as we've discussed in the past, is the wholly owned Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) subsidiary that manufactures Hellfire air-to-ground missiles for the military.
If confirmed, this wouldn't be the first time Hellfire missiles have turned up where they weren't supposed to be. In January, the Wall Street Journal reported that a dummy training missile had been sent to Cuba in 2014. The Cubans finally returned the missile after its loss became public.
