Would a javelin ever reach terminal velocity on Earth?

0

Terminal velocity implies it is going towards earth, so I’ll assume it is being dropped. If dropped from an airliner at 33000 feet, in a vacuum, it would reach around 442 m/s which is mach 1.3. On earth, this would undoubtedly put more than 10newtons of air resistance on it, implying terminal velocity would be reached.
