Crazy stat- a U2 aircraft flying at its max altitude, the difference between the stall speed and the Mach speed is just

Why would it be dangerous to exceed Mach speed?

Because the air starts buffeting over the wings and the wings lose lift

What if you’re Tom Cruise? I assume you can go faster in that case?

Well, duh. A knot is a nautical mile, and you wouldn't be driving at sea.

Staying between 74.3 and 75.6 MPH.

That’s any aircraft though operating at its max altitude. That altitude can fluctuate depending on weight also.
