Guinness World Records recognized NASA's X-43A scramjet with a new world speed record for a jet-powered aircraft - Mach 9.6, or nearly 7,000 mph.
The fastest speed was recorded by an unmanned aircraft called X-43. It can reach the speed of almost 7460 miles per hour. The fastest manned aircraft is X-15. Its top speed is 5115 miles per hour. This is very, very fast.
Different ways of flight propulsion must have different categories as fastest in their method of power, to allow for this question to be answered properly. However, the overall fastest flight reached is Mach 9.8, which is about 12,144 km/h. This was set in 2004 by NASA with Scramjet technology allowing for this supersonic record. Launched with an assisting booster rocket, this jet is the fastest thing on the planet.
The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird holds the record for the fastest manned airplane, capable of reaching speeds over 2,000 miles per hour.
The X-43 actually is the fastest plane in the world (although it is unmanned) and achieved Mach 9.68 (7,368 mph) on 16 November 2004. It was an experimental hypersonic aircraft flown by NASA.
The fastest airplane on Earth is the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. It has held the fastest speed record of 2,193.2 miles per hour since 1976.
ps. I think the the first plane like ship to go into space goes cind of along the lines of The Nasereth(chech spelling).
the sr-71 lockheed blackbird is the fastest plane recorded. it goes mach 3(3x the speed of sound). it has no weapons on it but is used as a spy plane.
The fastest Boeing airplane is the Boeing 747-8. It has a top speed of approximately Mach 0.855, which translates to around 700 miles per hour.
Yes, the Concorde was one of the fastest commercial airplanes ever made. It had a cruising speed of around 1,350 mph (2,180 km/h), which allowed it to fly at supersonic speeds, faster than the speed of sound.
The New York Central Railroad's Empire State Express set the record for the fastest long-distance train in the world in 1893, reaching a speed of 112.5 mph (181 km/h).
Light travels the fastest of the four options provided, followed by an airplane, then a car, and finally sound. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 186,282 miles per second, while sound travels at around 767 miles per hour in the air. Airplanes can reach speeds of over 600 miles per hour, and cars typically have lower speeds depending on their model and conditions.
The positive form of "fastest" is "fast."
