If so, then get ready because we’re taking off into the world of aviation with our look at the 18 fastest and most powerful fighter jets ever made. From proven planes like the American F-15 Eagle and Russia’s modern Su-57, to experimental aircraft like the X-15, these incredible fighter aircraft push the boundaries of speed and agility.

2024年12月29日 · However, at least theoretically, the MiG-25 remains the world’s fastest fighter jet. It broke numerous records and reached speeds achieved by no other airbreathing jet except for the SR-71 and its derivatives.

2025年1月1日 · Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde holds the title of the fastest passenger aircraft in history. It was a turbojet-powered supersonic airliner known for its ability to travel at speeds exceeding Mach 2. It could cruise at a speed of around 1,354 mph.

The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird holds the official Air Speed Record for a crewed airbreathing jet engine aircraft with a speed of 3,530 km/h (2,190 mph). The record was set on 28 July 1976 by Eldon W. Joersz and George T. Morgan Jr. near Beale Air Force Base, California, USA. It was able to take off and land unassisted on conventional runways. [47] .

2023年8月20日 · Modern fighter jets can't go that fast, but many can do Mach 2 without issue. Unfortunately, jet speeds are not always exacting rates you can figure out. Not only can planes fly faster at...

2024年3月9日 · According to BBC Science Focus, the NASA X-43 was the fastest aircraft ever made, with an extraordinary speed of Mach 9.6, or 7,366 mph. Coming in second place is the NASA/USAF X-15, with a max speed of 4,520 mph. However, the fastest fighter jets still in service is the MiG-25 Foxbat, reaching 2,190 mph.

2024年11月8日 · In 2024, the world of high-speed aviation is still pushing limits. The list of record-breaking jets includes everything from military aircraft like the SR-71 Blackbird to hypersonic supersonic jets like the NASA X-15.

In our gallery, we have brought together the ten fastest jets in the world along with some information about their history. So strap in and have your sick bags at the ready as we take to …

2024年2月27日 · Have you ever wondered which fighter jets have been the fastest? Let's take a look. There was a variant of the SR-71 Blackbird called the YF-12. This fighter retained the SR-71's J58 afterburning turbojets but also packed Hughes AIM-47 Falcon air-to-air missiles.

2025年1月23日 · The fastest fighter jets are not just about raw speed; they embody advanced aerodynamics, cutting-edge materials, and powerful engines that combine to create machines capable of rapid acceleration and sustained supersonic flight.
