Russia is Testing Their Most Fast Secret Jet Fighter!

since the invention of the first airplane engineers have tried to push the limits of speed when the jet engine was invented during world war ii fighter jets and later commercial airliners became far faster than they ever had been as jet engine technology progressed so did top speeds up until today and beyond traveling in air has been one of the most exciting things to do in this world it is also the fastest mode of travel in the world planes which are used to fly from one place to another can carry people to other continents countries and across the oceans within hours there was a time when such long distances were traveled in days and weeks via ships on water or road trip with the advancement in technology there are planes that take only minutes to reach their destination in this video we are going to highlight the fastest aircraft in the world these airplanes achieve the highest level of speeds which no other vehicle can tu-160 blackjack is a variable sweep wing supersonic strategic missile carrier manufactured the maiden flight of the bomber was completed in 1981 and it entered service with ukrainian aviation in 1987. tu-160 was delivered to the russian air force in 2000 a total of 36 aircraft were built tu-160 holds a total of 44 world records it was designated as white swan due to its maneuverability and anti-flash white finish the bomber's airframe has a distinctive appearance with the wing and fuselage gradually integrated into a single piece configuration the airframe structured is based on a titanium beam all welded torsion box the variable geometry outer tapered wings sweep back from 20 degrees to 65 degrees in order to provide high performance flight characteristics at supersonic and subsonic speeds the blackjack uses fly-by-wire controls the aircraft can carry nuclear and conventional weapons including long-range nuclear missiles tu-160 can climb at a rate of 156 miles per second the maximum and crew speeds of the bomber are 1 380 miles per hour and 596 miles per hour respectively the range of the aircraft is 7642 miles its combat radius is 4536 miles the su-27 flanker is a big long-range air superiority fighter comparable to the us f-15 but superior in many respects its top speed is 1553 miles per hour brings it to the very edge of craftsmanship with a twin engine and the first fly-by-wire control system on a russian jet ever it was built for air superiority to counter the new american 3.5 gen fighters such as the f-15 eagle the xb70 valkyrie was a unique aircraft with six engines which together could accelerate the 240 ton aircraft to a velocity of mach 3. this speed resulted in the frame of the aircraft being heated up to as much as 620 degrees fahrenheit on some areas the extreme speed was needed for two reasons the first to accelerate away from soviet interceptors and the second to be able to escape the blast of the nuclear bombs that it was capable of dropping the aircraft had its first flight in 1964 and is now retired only two were built chengdu j-20 is a traditional chinese single seat twin jet and all-weather stealth jet fighter a 5th generation it started being used by china in march 2017 it is conard's which are tiny wings in front of the main set of bigger wings that help it stay in the air it is the world's third working stealth fighter the first is the f-22 and the second is the f-35 it can fly 1.7 times faster than sound the pentagon said that their files on the f-35 were hacked by someone from china some people think that this hack helped the chinese build the j-20 faster this aircraft is capable of flying at speeds over mach 2. lockheed yf-12 this jet was an american interceptor prototype with a top speed of mach 3.35 it looked almost like the sr-71 blackbird and featured three air-to-air missiles the reason for it looking a lot like the sr-71 was because the sr-71 was based on the yf-12 only three yf-12s were built but the program still made it into the history books with its highest speed highest altitude and biggest interceptor records general dynamics f-111 aardvark it was a multi-purpose tactical fighter bomber capable of supersonic speeds the aircraft was one of the more controversial aircraft ever to fly yet it achieved one of the safest operational records of any aircraft in usaf history and became a highly effective all-weather aircraft f-111 aardvark is not a fighter but a tactical bomber capable of flying at mach 2.5 it had nine hardpoints and two weapon bays together being able to deliver a payload of 14 tons of bombs air-to-air missiles or a 2 000 round machine gun could be fitted mcdonnell douglas f-15 eagle is a twin-engine all-weather fighter that is the backbone for the air force's air superiority its proven design is undefeated in air-to-air combat with more than 100 aerial combat victories the eagles twin engine and thrust-to-weight ratio of almost one-to-one can propel the 18-ton aircraft to more than two and a half times the speed of sound the f-15 has been claimed to be one of the most successful aircraft ever built and is still in service with the us air force the f-15 eagle surely deserves a place on the list of fastest fighter jets in the world as it has recorded top speeds of 1 650 miles per hour at altitude with a top speed of mach 2.83 the next playing on our top fastest aircraft list is the makion gyrovich 31 foxhound it is a russian-built interceptor aircraft it's designed to go straight very fast in order to intercept and destroy invading planes the mig-31 had everyone in utter shock back in 1977 when it reached an all-new altitude record of and twenty three thousand five hundred and thirty feet is also simultaneously set a new record for the most height reached in the least time at 115 000 feet in just four minutes 11.78 seconds such stellar records led to the soviet union to adopt the mccoyan mig-31 as its premier jet fighter at the time additionally it was also the first among the generation of jets that were able to use radar to detect and intercept stealth fighters this aircraft could get to altitude in record time stay in the air for lengthy periods lock onto both conventional and stealth craps and unleash long-range radar-guided missiles the bell x2 was a rocket-powered swept wing research aircraft designed to investigate the structural effects of aerodynamic heating as well as stability and control effectiveness at high speeds and altitudes the program was developed in 1945 to explore aerodynamic problems of supersonic flight and to expand the speed and altitude regimes obtained the starbuster was a continuation of the x2 program and so its area of investigation was to see how aircrafts behaved when flying at speeds higher than mach 2. it did as can be understood not carry any weapons and featured a back swept wing which made it have little air resistance and was by that able to achieve the stunning speed of 3.196 mach in 1956 however soon after the speed was attained the pilot made a sharp turn and the aircraft tumbled out of control he could not regain control of the aircraft and bailed out unfortunately only the small parachute of the escaped shuttle was opened and he hit the ground with too high speed this fatal crash ended the starbuster program the mccoy and girovich mig-25 was a super fast interceptor and reconnaissance bomber aircraft designed by the soviet union's mccoy and gorovich bureau with a top speed of mach 3.2 powerful radar and four air-to-air missiles the mig-25 worried western observers and prompted the development of the f-15 eagle lockheed sr-71 blackbird after its introduction in 1966 it has been used by both the usaf and nasa 32 blackbirds were built all used for reconnaissance and experimental research it featured stealth technology but if it was against all odds spotted by enemy forces it could outrun the interceptors or surface-to-air missiles that were fired at it due to its fantastic speed the blackbird was so fast that the air in front of it did not have time to escape hence building up a huge pressure and raised the temperature the temperature of the aircraft which could reach several hundred degrees high expanded the metal hence it had to be built by two small pieces the sr-71 was developed as a long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft capable of flying at speeds over mach 3.2 and at 85 000 feet north american x-15 this aircraft has the current world record for the fastest manned aircraft its maximum speed was mach 6.70 about 4 474 miles per hour which it attained on the 3rd of october 1967 to be stable at these super high velocities it had to feature a big wedge tail however the downside of this was at lower speeds the drag was extremely big from such a tail therefore a b-52 stratofortress had to carry it up to an altitude of about 8 miles before dropping it at which it ignited its own engines just imagine sitting in a rocket measuring only 49 feet in length and then being dropped must have been a truly magnificent feeling the x-15 was used at such extreme speeds so that it did not use traditional ways to steer but instead it used rocket thrusters this made it possible to reach altitudes higher than 62 miles which was one of its world records we hope you enjoyed the video which
