The Fastest Plane on Earth 

1. The Fastest Plane on Earth

3. Since 1976, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird has held the world
record for the fastest ‘air-breathing manned aircraft’ with a
recorded speed of 1,905.81 knots (2,193.2 mph; 3,529.6 km/h).
That works out to a staggering 36.55 miles/58.83 km per
minute.
The Blackbird was so fast that its strategy against surface-to-air
missiles was to simply accelerate and outfly them. Below you
will find an extensive gallery of this iconic aircraft along with
information on the history, design and records the plane holds to
this day.
