- NASA X-43A is an unmanned experimental hypersonic aircraft designed by NASA. It is the fastest aircraft ever built, currently holding the fastest flight speed record. NASA has been officially recognized by the Guinness World Records in 2005 for setting the highest speed record for a jet-powered aircraft, when X-43A reached the speed of 10,461 km/h (7,000 miles per hour) or 8.4 times faster than the speed of sound.

The Fastest Spacecraft Ever? In 2018 though, a new NASA mission - Solar Probe Plus - will be launched. Designed to come as close as 8.5 solar radii to the Sun (that's about about 5.9 million kilometers or 3.7 million miles), it will hit orbital velocities as high as 200 kilometers a second (450,000 miles an hour).

TIL: Titanium used for Mach3+ Cold War spy plane came from Russia Image: Nasa. In a fascinating piece about the SR-71 Blackbird, the BBC calls it The Cold War's ultimate spy plane. The Blackbird is the world's fastest plane capable of speeds reaching 2,200mph (3,540kph) while its futuristic shape and black paint full of radar-absorbing iron made it virtually undetectable. The SR-71, built by Lockheed, served with the US Air Force from 1964 to 1998.

Nasa is believed to have been quietly testing a revolutionary new method of space travel that could one day allow humans to travel at speeds faster than light. Researchers say the new 'impossible' drive could carry passengers and their equipment to the moon in as little as four hours.

Fastest Airplanes: Top Performers in Their Class The new higher speed of the X+ not only makes it the new speed champ for certificated, civilian airplanes but it also gives the new model a significant boost in range. Fastest Jet: SR-71. The SR-71 Blackbird is one of the most intimidating-looking airplanes ever conceived. It is also scary fast. During its early test flights in the 1960s, the Blackbird would set new speed records nearly every time it flew, and it ultimately topped out at Mach 3.5.

The New Fastest Helicopter on Earth Can Fly at an Insane 300MPH The New Fastest Helicopter on Earth Can Fly at an Insane 300MPH. Most helicopters are built for hovering, not for speed. But the Eurocopter X3 is built for both. The demonstrator tilt-rotor aircraft proved as much when it set a pair of air speed records earlier this month. Based on the Eurocopter EC155, the X3 is a hybrid helicopter. That is, in addition to its five blade main and tail rotors, the X3 is also outfitted with a pair of stubby wings (similar to those aboard the Mi-24 HIND but with propellers instead of missile pods) that provide up to 80 percent of the aircraft's lift.

Formula Estimated adjusted body weight (kg) If the actual body weight is greater than 30% of the calculated IBW, calculate the adjusted body weight (ABW): ABW = IBW + 0.4(actual weight - IBW) The IBW and ABW are used to calculate medication dosages when the patient is obese. This formula only applies to persons 60 inches (152 cm) or taller.

What's the World's Fastest Manned Airplane? View full size image. The world's fastest manned plane is the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. It set a record of 2,193.2 miles per hour (3,530 kilometers per hour) at Beale Air Force Base in California back in 1976. The U.S. Air Force used this manned aircraft from 1964 to 1998. The fastest unmanned plane is the NASA X-43, which flew at 7,000 mph (11,265 kph) in 2004 (that's Mach 9.8 if you're keeping track). The X-43 flies on the back of a winged booster rocket, called a stack, which is launched from a larger B52 bomber.

- The Apollo 11 spacecraft had to travel at least 7 miles per second (11.25 km/s) to break free of Earth's gravitational field. This speed is 32.4 times as fast as the speed of sound ('Mach 32.4). The fastest military plane, the SR-71 Blackbird, travels (only) Mach 3.

- The human powered planes are designed to operate at very slow speeds. The fastest plane in the … world is the Unmanned Aircraft known as the Falcon HTV-2, that has traveled at 16700mph for 90 seconds before the flight was aborted. Most passenger planes and cargo planes travel between 300 and 600mph depending on a number of factors. In the future it would be best if you asked about a specific type or model of aircraft for more accurate information.

The Fastest Plane on Earth [25 pics] The SR-71 was the world’s fastest and highest-flying operational manned aircraft throughout its career. On 28 July 1976, it broke the world record for its class: an “absolute altitude record” of 85,069 feet (25,929 m). Several aircraft exceeded this altitude in zoom climbs but not in sustained flight.

What is the fastest spacecraft of all time? Asked by Ross Hartley. The Helios probes hold the esteemed title of being the fastest satellites in space. They reached a fantastic 253,000 kilometers (157,000 miles) per hour as they raced around the Sun measuring the solar wind and environment near to the Sun. The main reason these probes went so quickly is because their trajectory had them plummet towards the Sun.

Everything we know about the mysterious SR-72 â Lockheed Martin's successor to the fastest plane ever The SR-72 is the successor to the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane, which was the fastest plane to ever exist. Built by Lockheed Martin in the 1960s, the SR-71 could reach speeds exceeding Mach 3 (above 2,200 mph). That's over 3 times faster than the speed of sound. The recon jets went out of service in 1998. Development of the SR-72 was announced in 2013.

- Terms of use. Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works has confirmed that it is developing the SR-72 spy plane. The successor to the SR-71 Blackbird, which was capable of Mach 3.5, the SR-72 will be a hypersonic unmanned aircraft capable of Mach 6, or just over 4,500 mph. At hypersonic speeds, the SR-72 will be able to traverse any continent in around an hour -- meaning the US military can strike or surveil any location on Earth in about an hour.
