What plane in existence can fly at the highest altitude, and what is that altitude? What part of a plane fails first when flying too high? The U-2 is probably the highest altitude aircraft still flying. The SR-71 could probably fly higher, but it isn't flying any more. The U-2's published maximum altitude is somewhere above 74,000 feet. There is no such thing as so high radar can not detect it, since radar can detect things in outer space.
