Where 1235 fits
Why 1235 is special
This is the figure behind Mach 1. Because the speed depends on temperature, an aircraft's Mach number changes with altitude even at constant airspeed — which is why supersonic flight is defined relative to conditions rather than a fixed speed.

Science
Sound moves at roughly 1,235 km/h at sea level and more slowly in the colder air at altitude. Mach 1 is therefore a different airspeed depending on where you are, which is a genuine complication in aircraft design.
