which is the fastest plane on earth at present?only give answer if u know?

Answer 1

SR-71,,, the blackbird,,fastest,highest altitude,longest range,and was kept a secret from the world from like ,,,1958? to 1990,,,its a retired aircraft,,but still does exibition flights from edwards A.F.B,,,

Answer 2

The SR 71 Blackbird is the fastest plane, at Mach 3. There is the X43 which does Mach 6.5 - 7, but it is still in the experimental stage. But you ask for plane, so. But now there's the X43C, which goes even faster than the X43, but it has to be taken up on a B52, then boostered off of it into flight, so it's not an actual plane that can take off from the ground. These are NASA planes that they developed. And the X43C is the very latest. But excluding NASA planes its the SR-71 any day

Answer 4

Lockheed SR-71A Blackbird, 22nd Dec 1964 - 1998, USA, was the fastest among the class, now not in action.

Now the X-43 series, which is part of NASA's Hyper-X program, holds the fame. The X-43 is an unmanned experimental hypersonic aircraft design with multiple planned scale variations meant to test different aspects of highly supersonic flight.

X-43A: It was designed to operate at speeds greater than Mach 7, about 5,000 mph (8,050 km/h) at altitudes of 100,000 feet (30,000 m) or more. The X-43A is a single-use vehicle and is designed to crash into the ocean without recovery.

Future Developments are,
X-43B: scramjet configuration at approximately Mach 5.
X-43C: was expected to test the viability of hydrocarbon fuel.
X-43D: The X-43D would have been almost identical to the X-43A, but expanding the speed envelope to approximately Mach 15.

Answer 5

Still the SR-71 blackbird. At least as far as unclassified public knowledge is concerned. Although it has been retired from active service in it's reconnaisance role there are still several in airworthy condition that are used for R & D.

I'd say that it's a virtual certainty that the military is working on something faster. Those projects are classified, sometimes for many years.

The highly experimental X-43 series of scramjet powered craft hardly qualify as an airplane in the traditional sense. They are either boosted into the transitional layer by a rocket after being dropped from a B-52 mother ship prior to going into hypersonic flight. They are remotely controlled single-use drones that crash at the end of each 10 second long powered "flight".

Answer 6

SR-71 Blackbird

Answer 7

SR-71 Blackbird flys around mach 3

Answer 8

The SR-71 is the fastest, highest flying plane that anyone will admit to.

Answer 9

The Sr-71 Blackbird has the highest sustained speed in level flight.The existence of scram jets is becoming harder to deny,they are rumored to be able to cruise at mach 6 but who knows until the project comes off the black list.

Answer 10

The question asked "at present". The SR-71 has been retired for some time now. The X-43A has the current lead.
