The A-12 Blackbird still holds the records as the fastest production air-breathing jet aircraft.
The Cessna Citation X (that is10) is reputed to be the fastest commercial aircraft - maximum speed is Mach .91
The Citation TEN is the fastest civilian aircraft in the sky, cruising just shy of the sound barrier at Mach .92
jet aircraft mass production began in the 1940s
th f2j hornet manufactured in the united states and great Britain
It depends on what aircraft it is. For instance : The X-15 is the fastest manned aircraft in the world, traveling at mach 6.72The SR-71 Blackbird is the fastest airplane in the world, traveling at 3.2.Average speed of a jet is 850-900km/hr
there is no reverse gear but ..... it has ... thrust reverser is equipped in the jet engine which moves the aircraft backwards even faster
SR-71 holds the record for the fastest manned jet aircraft. The officail maximum airspeed achieved by the plane is near Mach3.5. Unfortunately it is only a spy plane or surveillance aircraft.

Ask Boeing aircraft. Fat Albert is a mildly derisive name for the 747 jumbo jet, which I believe is still in production.
Yes-but Mach speed determination is a function of altitude and speed. Rough calculations for the following aircraft all at the same altitude (50,000') to get a baseline comparison: 1. X-43A Scramjet 7,000 mph speed record. The fastest drone aircraft. Mach 10.5 2. X-15 4,520 mph world speed record. Fastest manned aircraft. Mach 6.8 3. SR-71 Blackbird 2,293 mph world speed record. The fastest jet aircraft in the world. Mach 3.4 4. MiG-25 Foxbat 2,115 mph. The fastest jet fighter in the world. Mach 3.2 F-15 Eagle 1,875 mph. Fastest United States jet fighter.
