Chad’s Answer

First let me say I'm not a pilot, I'm an aircraft mechanic. But I am pretty confident that the answer to your question is the SR71 Blackbird. It was a USAF surveillance and reconnaissance airplane (so spy) that was so fast (somewhere upwards of mach 3) it could, and did outrun surface to air missiles. Its top speed is still classified (secret) but is guessed to be in excess of 3X the speed of sound. It also had a very high operating altitude. It also looks very cool. It's no longer in service as it is quite old. Most of them were decommissioned in the 1990s. NASA had one as well that was the last to be decommissioned. It was designed in the 1960s without the use of computers!! just math and drafting equipment.

Great question, Keynner! Chad gave a solid answer—the **SR-71 Blackbird** is one of the fastest planes ever built, reaching speeds over **Mach 3** (three times the speed of sound).

As a pilot, I can tell you that speed in aviation isn’t just about raw numbers; it’s also about control and precision. Military jets like the **Lockheed Martin SR-72 (the rumored successor to the SR-71)** are being developed to reach even greater speeds, possibly **Mach 6**!

If you’re interested in fast planes, look into the **North American X-15**—a rocket-powered aircraft that holds the official speed record for manned flight at **Mach 6.7 (4,520 mph / 7,274 km/h)**!

Keep your curiosity soaring, and maybe one day, you’ll be flying the next record-breaking aircraft!
