It probably won't come as much of a surprise to learn that speed is one of the key factors in designing fighter, attack, and interceptor aircraft. These military machines are used to fly out and ...

With their powerful engines and aerodynamic frames, the following aircraft represent the pinnacle of fighter jet technology in terms of speed and performance. During the Cold War, the United States ...

The rather short-lived Concorde has set the standard for speed when it comes to civilian aircraft. With a maximum cruise speed of Mach 2.04 (1,350 mph/2,179 kph) at an altitude of 60,000 feet (18,288 ...
