What airplane is the fastest?

Answer 1

The fastest (Non rocket powered) aircraft in the world are
1. LockHeed A-12 Mach 3.35+
2. SR-71 Blackbird Mach 3.2+ (Mach 3.5 un-confirmed)
3. MIG-25R Foxbat-B Mack 3.2
4. XB-70 Valkyrie Mach 3.1
5. MIG-31 Mach 2.83
6. MIG-25 Mach 2.8
Used to be the Concord Jet (Commercial)

So far:
IN aircraft: The space shuttle, in excess of 26000 mph.
IN spacecraft, The voyager II, 35,000 mph.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird holds the record for the fastest manned airplane, capable of reaching speeds over 2,000 miles per hour.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

ps. I think the the first plane like ship to go into space goes cind of along the lines of The Nasereth(chech spelling).

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

The fastest Fighter aircraft is F-22 Raptor

Answer 9

it is the x-15. it goes 4,520 mph
