What is the fastest plane?
Answers:
Hyper-X (X-43A)
Plane of light.
No seriously i think it's an X- something.
The Space Shuttle.
X-43A
Space Shuttle.
one i know is sr 71 spy plane 2500 mph or more
The fastest aircraft is the X-43, wit a top speed of Mach 9.8. But since its powered with rockets, It doesn't qualify as an airplane. As for the fastest plane, it has to be the SR-71 High Altitude Stealth Reconaissance Aircraft, with the top speed of Mach 3.2+ and a maximum ceiling of 85,000+ feet.
For the fastest combat aircraft, it has to be the MiG 25-R Foxbat B, with a top speed of Mach 3.2 and a ceiling of 123,524 feet.
Concord
the plane hv jet tarbo ingine
The Apollo 10 craft reached mach 37.6 so is the fastest man-made airborne vehicle.
However, there was also the X-43 which is unmanned and flew in the atmosphere at Mach 9.8.
The fastest recorded flight is mach 6.72 on the X-15 and is officially the fastest manned aircraft in the world!
There are some military ones that go something like Mach 4.
prob the one tht flew into the pentagon..as theres no footage of it apart from a single frame it must be quick.jst guessin
Cascade Ranger is right.
1967 The North American X-15 is the fastest plane. Now the fastest jet is the SR-71 Blackbird. The predecessor to the Blackbird was the unofficial record holder, the YF-12A, very similar, but just little differences.
The Aurora project from NASA is still, of course, in the planning phase and has not actually flown top speed yet. But is expected to fly at least MACH 7 or greater.
SR-71 'Blackbird'
Now decommisioned, but last flew during the 'first gulf war'.
Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird.
The X-43A, built by NASA. It reached a speed of 9.6 Mach. Thats almost 10 times the speed of sound! The Sr-71 only reached 3.2 Mach
The space shuttle.Mach 25.
Not sure, but I think it was the XB-70 Valkyrie - a huge futuristic looking bomber in the 1960s. It reached speeds of over 2,000 mph and was powered by six jet engines. The project was cancelled and never made it into service.
blackbird
X-15 is the fastest manned aircraft Mig-25R is the fastest fighter jet
I think its the concord, as a commercial jetliner, or there is the other flighter ones.
the concord f-117 steath SR71
space shuttle? on re-entry
In or used to be in service?
Unarmed: SR-71A Blackbird (Mach 3.3+ (2193.167 mph, 3529.560 km/h) at 80,000 ft (24 000 m)
Armed: MiG-31 Foxhound (1,500 km/h (930 mph) clean at sea level, 3,000 km/h (1,860 mph) at altitude)
Interesting fact, every time the MiG-31 reached Mach 3, the engines had to be replaced!
Since it'll be for any type of aircraft, I'll vote for the space shuttle. For eg., the USS Endeavour (OV-105) is designed for speeds at around 25404 ft/s. That's around Mach 25 and well into hypersonic speeds. On reentry, the craft needs to be in a high nose up attitude (40 degs AOA) to produce enough drag to bleed off its speed to allow for a safe gliding and landing.
~Life's better with hydrazine.~ W00t!
it's called the blackbird i think
The fastest plane is the X-15. The fastest jet is the SR-71. The fastest drone X-43. So there you go next time get a copy of Guinness book of world records.
On November 16, 2004, NASA's (USA) unmanned Hyper-X (X-43A) aircraft reached Mach 9.68, almost ten times the speed of sound. The X-43A was boosted to an altitude of 33,000 m (115,000 ft) by a Pegasus rocket launched from beneath a B52-B aircraft. The revolutionary 'scramjet' aircraft then successfully burned its engine before plunging into the Pacific Ocean.
