What's the fastest plane? |
Answer
The fastest plane at the moment is the blackbird, it goes about 1900 mph; but i think america is in course of making a 7000 mhp plane, but i think it will be a very long while before it comes out.
Answer
Rocket planes aside, the SR-71 Blackbird holds the current record speed of 2,242 mph set in 1990. There are rumors of a black project aircraft with greater performance, but nothing has been announced.
Much faster jet aircraft are in operation, but they are unmanned. These vehicles use a scram jet, a type of jet engine that will not operate below the speed of sound. It must be launched from a supersonic aircraft or using a rocket booster. The Boeing X-43 project funded by NASA has flown at 7,546 mph (mach 9.8). Another scram jet used a gravity assist in a dive to near mach 10.
