The F-15 Eagle is one of the worlds fastest operational fighter jets with a top speed of Mach 2.5.

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.

Name of president's Jet?

The plane used to transport the President is always called Air Force One, irrespective of which particular plane he's in. It is generally a Boeing 747-200 modified with special equipment such in-flight refueling. To be more technical, it is Air Force One if he is on an Air Force Plane, Marine One when he is on the helicopter, or Navy One if he is on a Navy plane. The "one" gives the aircraft priority in aviation hierarchy (the smaller the number, the higher the priority).


What pushes the plane forward?

The plane is propelled forward by its engines, which generate thrust by expelling exhaust gases at a high velocity. This thrust creates a force that pushes the plane through the air and allows it to overcome drag and move forward.
