Top Ten Fastest Aircrafts in The World
There are many people who are afraid of flying, but one must know that flying giants just hit the market because they demonstrated the safety and practicality that other means of transportation would not be able to offer consumers. But what are the fastest commercial aircraft already existed and still cross the skies of our entire planet Earth? Moreover, what are the military aircraft that can exceed the speed of 20000 km/h in flight, without losing stability? Let’s figure it out together with the list of the fastest aircraft in the world that has been prepared for you. Will your favorite aircraft is the ranking we prepared? Find out now!
Following are top ten fastest aircrafts of the world:
1. HTV-2: The Falcon HTV-2 or Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2, is the fastest aircraft of the world which can fly at an incredible speed of 20,920 kilometers per hour. It can travel from London, England to Sydney, Australia in just 60 minutes. This aircraft is designed to cope with terrorist attacks by sending a plane directly from U.S. bases in minutes.
2. X-43A: This is one of the fastest aircrafts of the world. Since 2004, the X-43A Scramjet created by NASA achieved the record for being the fastest airplane in the world, considering their design, aesthetics and limitations of flight. With a top speed of over 11,250 miles per hour, ie 9.3 times faster than the speed of sound, this drone can reach a top speed in just 11 seconds, which is amazing in any degree.
3. X-5: The X- 15 was made by North America and was destined to be a plane that makes its riders cross the borders to be airline pilots to become astronauts, because it has reached and exceeded 50 miles high with ease. With a speed of 7254 kilometers per hour. This is also one of the fastest aircrafts of the world.
4. SR-71: On July 27 1976, the SR-71 Blackbird set a world record for the fastest speed record still standing of 3.529 kilometers per hour. Due to its rapid flight, it’s body was made of titanium instead of the usual aluminum, as to withstand the heat that can go as high, at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit that impacts the wings and fuselage. Just imagine that this is the fastest plane jet manned to conquer the skies.
5. YF-12A: It is also one of the fastest aircrafts of the world. Set to be the predecessor of the SR-71 Blackbird, Lockheed YF-12A first flew on August 7, 1963 in the territory of Area 51. It was seen at Edwards Air Force Base in California. It is said that it can fly at the speed of 3331 kilometers per hour.

It had two versions: a kind only to recognize that flew in 1969 and in 1972. Despite being difficult to maneuver the aircraft, it dodged 10 missiles during the Gulf War.
7. X-2: In the majority of aircraft included in this list, the Bell X-2 is really a research aircraft that is used to study and advance research in aerodynamics, control, maneuverability and control, which paved the way for the best and fastest airfoils. It can fly at a speed of 3,057 miles per hour.
8. XB-70: It is also one of the fastest aircrafts of the world. The XB-70, created by North American Aviation during the 1950s was done to avoid interceptors and fighter jets, it can fly more than 3041 kilometers per hour.
9. F-15: Reaching a top speed of over 3017 km per hour, the F-15 Eagle is the fastest jet fighter the U.S. Despite carrying a maximum weight of 11 tons of bombs, missiles and fuel load, the aircraft may go into high gear with ease.
10. F-111: It is well known that this is the fastest in the world strategic bomber. The F-111 Aardvark, established by General Dynamics, can go to a top speed of 2970 kilometers per hour. This is one of the fastest aircrafts of the world.
