What is the fastest jet plane?
The fastest jet plane is the SR-71 Blackbird, which, according to official records, goes “Mach 3+”. It is widely suspected that the plane goes significantly faster than that, but that the government doesn’t want its exact capabilities divulged. The X-5 experimental plane was faster and went approximately Mach 5, but this was more of a rocket with a pilot than a plane. It had to be dropped from the belly of a bomber because it was not designed to take off from the ground, so by most definitions it doesn’t qualify as a plane.
Actually the fastest jet (depending on what you call a jet) was an expierement with scram jets a normal (comparitivley) brought the unmanned jet up to a high enough speed for the air to “ram” itself through the jet without the turbines and reached mach 7 for a small amount of time then it crashed the only reason I know this is because our school hands out little magazines that have “intresting” articles
