1.Space Shuttle:- you might know what it is ! yes, they are used as rockets for gaining useful information about outer space . it was first invented by the NASA in 1981.okay coming to the speeds they can gain during flight, they can travel at a speed of 20,000 miles per hour but the average speed is 17,500 miles per hour.



2.X-43A :-this aircraft was built by NASA ,it is used for a single time and later it is crashed in the ocean beyond recovery. their time of flying is 20 seconds only.it came under lime light when it broke a world record by setting up a high speed flight back in November 2004. it travels at a speed of 7,500 miles per hour.

( the x43 a being dropped from a plane).


3. X-15:-this is also an aircraft designed by the NASA and the “X” denotes experimental plane. it was discovered back in 1959.this was excluded from services a decade after it’s launch.not much to discuss about it.it travels at an average speed of 4510 miles per hour.



4.SR-71 Blackbird:- it was invented by Clarence Kelly Johnson in 1966.it was developed in the united states under NASA.it can travel at speeds of 2200 miles per hour.



5.MiG-25R Fox bat-B:-known as Mikoyan-Gurevich , was founded in 1960 in the Russian army!. this is one of their greatest inventions.it has also served the Algerian,Syrian armies .this was intentionally created as a answer to USA mack 3.it can travel speeds up to 2000 miles an hour.



6.X-2:- well the X-2 known as the “star buster” , was also an experimental plane invented in 1955 manufactured by the united states army.it was good at speed but ineffective in other aspects ,as a result it was excluded the next year.it can travel an average speed up to 1,900 miles an hour.



7.XB-70 Valkyrie :-this was a strategic bomber plane first invented in the USA and later travelled to almost all parts of the world.it was invented in 1964.it can travel an average speed of 1890 miles an hour.



8.F-15 Eagle:- originally built by the US , it travelled to far places like japan,Saudi Arabia and Israel.it was invented in 1972. it can travel an average speed of 1875 miles an hour.



9.MiG-31 Foxhound :- the MiG 31 was a newer release to the MiG 25 . interestingly the first MiG could travel faster than this one. it can travel to speeds up to 1,750 miles an hour .



10.F-111 Aardvark :- it is a fighter-bomber plane invented by the Australian air force .the 0primary reason for it’s invention is to take part in wars. it’s average speed of flight is 1,650 miles an hour.
