The Boeing X-51 is still in its testing stages, and has recently completed its first free flight. Its design speed is Mach 7+, but the test did not run as long as scheduled and no "final" data was released. This experimental craft is unmanned.
No airbreathing, manned jet-propelled aircraft has ever even approached the cruising speed of the the SR-71 Blackbird. The Blackbird's maximum speed, often quoted at Mach 3.2, is officially classified to this day. It still holds the world speed record. Simply amazing.

Is the X-15 faster than a SR-71?
x 15 is faster then the sr71 blackbird who can only reach a speed of mach 3.2 which is 3 times the speed of sound but the x 15 can reach mach 6.72

SR71 Blackbird Model M-21: maximum speed: 2211miles/h Generally, the given answer for all models of the SR71 is: "In excess of Mach 3", or more than three times the speed of sound. see related links below for more info
Which fly's faster a small plane or a large plane?
The question is not defined to be answered properly A Cessna propeller driven light aircraft is much slower than a 747 But a SR71, the current record holder for speed is also much smaller than a 747

The SR-71 Blackbird is one aircraft that flew faster than Mach 3. It has flown as fast as 2,193 miles per hour and perhaps much faster.
Which plane is faster than light?

Can an SR-71 Blackbird fly faster than a missile?
Yes.
Can an electric train go faster than plane?
A fast train can be faster than a slow plane. But even a regular plane will be faster than fast train.
Are there planes that can travel faster than the speed of sound?
yes, the fastest plane in the world, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, can reach speeds of up to three times the speed of sound.
What tarvles faster than a jet plane?

If you run on a plane are you moving faster than the plane?
If the frame of reference is the ground, and if you are running forward, you are indeed moving faster than the plane. If you are running toward the rear of the plane, you are moving slower than the plane.
Is the blackbird faster than a bugatti veyron?
I suspect you refer to the Blackbird, as in the drag racing car owned by Jack Beckman and not the military airplane also named the Blackbird. The top speed of the Veyron is at an incredible 434.20 Km/h (269.80 mph) and is therefor the worlds fastest street legal production car, but the Blackbird is not a production car and has a top speed of 536.97 Km/h (333.66 mph) and is therefor faster than the Veyron. And if you were in fact wondering about the plane the top speed is not exact, but it's declassified that it can reach 3.4+ Mach (3610.80 Km/h or 2244 mph).
