The jet is powered by a jet engine and move faster than the propeller-powered aircraft. You can see a jet at a certain place even before your voice can reach there! Yes, undoubtedly some of the jet moving even faster than the speed of sound. The concept of the jet was first given by two engineers, Frank Whittle of Britain and Hans von Ohain Germany. Top 10 fastest jet is as follows:
10: General Dynamics F-111 "Aardvark"
It was developed in 1960 by the U.S. and is being actively used from the Royal Australian Air Force. max speed is Mach 2.5 / 2.5 times faster than the speed of sound. Aardvark is powered by twin Pratt & Whitney TF30-P-100 afterburner turbo fans.
9: MIG 31 Foxhound
It is produced by a Russian and an advanced version of MiG-25 Foxbat. Foxhound is a max speed of Mach 2.83 or 1860 mph and is driven by two-30F6 SoloveivD afterburner turbo fans. Foxhound has the capacity to produce 34,172 lbf thrust dry.
8: F-15 Eagle
A product of the United States, the F-15 Eagle is powered by dual Pratt & amp; Whitney F100 turbofan axial-flow with an ability to produce 29,000 lbf of thrust. It has a maximum speed of Mach 2.5.
7: XB-70 Valkyrie
It has a maximum speed of Mach 3.1 and is produced by the United States. This is supported by six General Electric YJ93-GE-3 engine afterburning turbojet.
6: Bell X-2 Starbuster
jet is equipped with a sad history but success with it. It is produced by the United States and is a research project with the ability to cross the Mach 3. Lt.Col. Frank K. "Pete" Everest in November 1955 that the first to test this jet and he flew above Mach 3, but unfortunately, it took his life also. Indeed, the incidence of despair. Starbuster XLR25 sea level is supported by two-valve-engine thrust chamber capable.
5: Mig-25 "Foxbat"
It is produced by Russia and very pragmatic in function at high altitude above 80,000 feet. max speed is Mach 3.2 and is powered by twin Tumansky R-15B-300 afterburning turbojets.
4: SR-71 Blackbird
It is developed by the Lockheed Corporation, USA in the 1960s and is an upgraded version of the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft. It is powered by two Pratt $ amp; Whitney J58-1 continuous-bleed afterburning turbojets with the ability to supply the 32,500 lbf thrust each. It can fly as high altitude as 100,000 feet with 3 times the speed of sound (Mach 3.5). It is used by the USAF for 40 years and retired in 1998.
3: X-15
With a maximum speed of Mach 6.72, the X-15 is the third fastest jet aircraft. machine is Thiokol XLR99-RM-2 liquid fuel rocket engine that uses liquid oxygen fuel us. It can fly as high as 354,330 feet.
2: X-43A
jet is driven by hydrogen and can move at a speed of Mach 9.8. credit goes to ramjet-supersonic-combustion. It is produced by the United States.
1: Space Shuttle
The world's fastest aircraft, supported by three assemblies containing reusable Orbiter Vehicle or OV, the external tank, or ET-driven LOX/LX2, and two solid rocket boosters are reusable or SRB supported by MMH/N204. max speed is in excess of Mach 20.
