When you see this aircraft from the front, it's easy to imagine how it could cause a few UFO reports from the public, back in the day when it's sheer existence was a top secret...
I love when they cant put guns on a plane because it could shoot itself down, lol. It truly is faster than a speeding bullet, and we probably have a faster one top secret.
It used to fly on the edge of space directly over the USSR and always return in one piece
it flew at speeds faster than the air to air missiles a fighter plane carries and well out of reach
This plane was in development when we were still achieveing new things,Putting man on the moon and the Concorde passenger jet. Now all civillans have is lumbering jumbo jets. The military favours slower planes for combat against disadvantaged enemies for profit not ideology.
Wheel base: 37 ft 10 in (11.53 m) Aspect ratio: 1.7
Performance Maximum speed: Mach 3.2+ (2,200+ mph, 3,530+ km/h, 1,900+ knots) at 80,000 ft (24,000 m) Range: 2,900 nmi (5,400 km) Ferry range: 3,200 nmi (5,925 km) Service ceiling: 85,000 ft (25,900 m) Rate of climb: 11,810 ft/min (60 m/s) Wing loading: 94 lb/ft² (460 kg/m²) Thrust/weight: 0.382
I thought the North American X-15 was the fastest plane. Sure it's rocket powered, but it still has wings, a pilot and lands on a runway. Ok, it doesn't take off under its own power like the SR71, and neither has it the range or usability.
@DJMetroPolice lol no way... this is the fastest .... they made a version that was too "good" for human conditions (went faster as 3 times the speed of sound or som)
I saw an sr 71 at the air show at andrews airforce base, I know they wear space suits because this aircraft can fly right ouside the atmosphere, and the pilot stated that the top spped of this aircraft was classified. They had it roped off with men and guns and dogs with a sighn that said dont cross deadly force authorized. It was AWESOME
I went on a special tour of the museum with my family and sat in the cockpit of this aircraft, it has rtv type sealant on the rivets and screws around the canopy to help seal in the pressure, the pilots also wear space suits in case the seal is compromised. I do believe this aircraft was operational at one time indeed.
selflessslizzamy..To make such a stupid comment as yours , means you are (1) very very young and don't know any better or (2) you've been locked up in your mother's basement too long or possibly (3) you're been off your medication too long.. now be a good boy, and start back on your meds....so you won't seem like such an uneducated bore .when trying to comment on the Habu.......THX
edknowsbest.......Sorry but need proof that the aircraft is even real, its been around since 1982, so by now its probably out of date....?????but since this is a free country, you are entitled to your opinion....but your comment is kind of stupid.....
Space shuttle , 25 times the speed of sound compared to 3.5, flies higher, can enter and exit space and made this plane useless , so i think it's safe to say the shuttle is the great/fastest aeroplane ever.
"Although Russia may have the world's largest airplane (the Russian Antonov 225), the US has the fastest." MUAHAH russia wins :P the bigger the better
the worlds fastest jet is the WHF65754 flown in secret by NASgreys at FERNBUKRIDGE in east/west germany! its top speed is 777749483.3 and its highest flight level is the moon. get it RIIIGGGHTTTTT
BOssho99..The myth of Auroa has been around since 1988..does'nt reason tell you, that in that time, its still a top secert A/C,, seems if it ever existed, that by now it would have been seen or identified and would probably be obsolete by now on todays battlefield.......THX
X-43A IS faster, but lets not forget, it was also unmanned at the time..and didnt take off...it was taken up to altitude by another plane before being let go
SR-71 has hit faster than mach 4, might not have been recorded but theres pilots that have talked about mach7 and rarely but I have heard one pilot even say mach 8. and for 50's technology thats pretty crazy
Well it was given a couple weapons but it was used usually for recon because it was untouchable SAM's couldn't catch it and by the time the SAM was fired the Blackbird was already gone
NASA made a experimental plane go 14,000 miles per hour which is allmost 7 times the speed of the pussy plane above. tho the experimental plane crashed shortly afterward and definitely isn't safe for traveling due to extreme G-forces.
If you want to see something REALLY interesting about flying and flying saucers, you need to see the press conference held at the National Press Club in Washington DC. You probably missed it because nearly half of it was jammed, and the media warned NOT to report on it. Fortunately, the entire thing is right here on YT. See: DISCLOSURE PROJECT ...Learn, then teach.
chopperhead2011.. The X-43 is a volkswagan sized aircraft that is lanched from a B-52 then a rocket carries the craft to hypersonic speeds then a scramjet system takes it to high Mach.. it then does a data dump ,,then crashes into the ocean...not much of an aircraft in the formal sense.....
lol, i think its funny how we all believe taht some jet in the 1970's is still the fastest jet in the world. Dude, we stopped using the blackbird cause everyone found out about it, cause russian spys. You think that the U.S. would come out and talk aboutnew faster jets? Answer- No, they wouldn't
sorry to break this to you but this IS the fastest plane ever the only man made objects that go faster are spaceships and those only go fater for about 10 minutes these can fly for hours at a time
the x-15s high speed record of mach 7.5 was shattered this past year with the flight of the x-43 at mach 9 and these did fly for several hours themselves, the sr-71 holds the distinction of the fastest production aircraft , and the fastest aircraft powered by mechanical jet engines, however it is not the fastest ever,and the guinness book of world records has the apollo 10 listed as the fastest manned vehicle flight at 24,791 mph returning from the moon to and its flight lasted hours too ;p
@j0rdan1794 The fastest current earth based ( by that i mean in the atmosphere.) is the X-43. going at Mach 9.8 7000 MPH your wrong. Research before comment. Dumbass

It's 3,5 time speed of sound. Speed of sound is 340.29 m / s or 1225,04 km/h x 3= 3675,13 km/h
In mph is that: 2 283,61 Mph

That depends on the altitude. At sea level, it is a little less than 800 MPH. At 80000 feet, much faster.
