Is the nimrod r1 the biggest fighter plane in the world?
The Nimrod is an maritime patrol plane that is more of a bomber plane with heat seeking Sidewinder air-to-air missiles for self defense instead of a actual fighter plane. B-52's with 50 caliber machine guns shot down North Vietnamese MIG fighters in 1972, that doesn't make the B-52 bomber (with machine guns) a fighter plane. The world's biggest fighter plane is probably the F-14 Tomcat flown only by Iran (put in to storage in Arizona by the USA) or the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet flown by the US Navy and possibly other countries.
What is the Fastest plane in the US air force?

The Lockheed YF-12 interceptor, one of the predecessors of the SR-71 "Blackbird" was approved for acquisition by the USAF back in the 1960's, but due to government intervention the order for 100 planes was canceled. The YF-12 was reportedly capable of Mach 3.35.
What was the Fastest british fighter plane in World War 2?
The ME 262 would have to be the fastest fighter of Ww2 Answer Me262, the world's first combat jet fighter ever. With a top speed of 540 mph, it outclassed every other fighter the world had to offer. The fighter had poor turning, and attempting to do so in a fight would slow it down. The Me262's immense speed meant that no one could ever hope to outrun it. Once it finished a pass, it could pull up and nothing could track it without stalling first. In the end, most of the Me262's were destroyed on the ground, and the remaining were captured by American and Soviet troops after the war. Incidentally, the Me262 wasn't the only World War II-era jet fighter. The Gloster Meteor, a British-manufactured turbojet fighter, was the first and only allied jet fighter to enter combat. It was significantly slower than the Me262, with a top speed of just 415 mph, but it was far more reliable. Answer The fastest Fighter in WWII was the ME163 Comet, a German rocket powered fighter, not jet, designed to intercept high flying bombers. Answer The Me-163 was a rocket with wings and a cannon and was limited to 8 minutes of burn time. It would fly vertically and reach the bomber formations and then glide down for an attack and return to base.
