Fastest to ever fly never left proto-type ... XB-70A ... was to become B-70. Other than that, the fastest to see service is the B1-B...... hold onto your seat though, read the second source I posted and the third even.... boy the USAF sure gets all the budget... should have a UFO flying by now...lmao

Currently the worlds fastest bomber is the TU-160 BLACK JACK bomber it is a Russian clone of the B-2 bomber currently capable of going 1,350 mph. A simple search on the web will give the full details of this bomber. While the XB-70 was the fastest it never entered service Thus I don't count it But if it makes you happy the XB-70 could go 2,000+ mph at 70,000 feet.

Nobody got the right plane.
It was the XB-70 with a top speed of Mach 3. (USA)
The B-1 doesn't even go Mach 2 and the F-111 was supposed to be a fighter. The Avro Arrow was designed to be an interceptor.
Operationally, it was the Tu-22M Backfire with a top speed of 1321 MPH (USSR/Russia)
The Tu-160 only goes 1243 MPH but is the heaviest bomber in the world at 606,261lbs.

The fastest purpose-built bomber aircraft is the B-1B, built in the US.
The fastest aircraft to have been equipped with a bomb load would be a toss-up between the F-4 Phantom II and the F/B-111 Aardvark.

According to Janes aviation encyclopedia the rockwell
B 1B is still the fastest bomber in the arsenal.Yes it was built in the US.
The first suppersonic bomber was built by the Avro corporation in Canada in the early 60's..
Named the Avro arrow it was the first to carry its stores internaly.
Just like the B 1B.

............. it does not make sense ........... speed is only to scramble back and not for bombing .............. it cannot bomb at supersonic speed ...... now days guided missiles do the job by keeping the plane far away ............... within a range of course ..........
