The Lockheed SR-71A Blackbird, after fifty years, is still the highest performing manned aircraft, that can take-off from a ground based facility, unequaled in speed, range, and altitude, and astonishing good looks. The ultimate record was set in 1976 @ 2,193.167 mph in horizontal flight from New York to London at 85,000 feet
The Eurofighter Typhoon at 1550mph top speed
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.

the titanic was going 21 knot when the ice burg hit
People believed the Lusitania couldn't be sunk by German submarines partly because the Lusitania was the fastest ocean liner at the time (it's top speed was about 23 knots). This speed was fast enough to outrun any German submarine at the time. Submarines from that time period were extremely slow, especially when submerged. Their top speed when submerged was less than 10 knots. By the time a German submarine would aim to shoot a torpedo, people believed the Lusitania would've already outran it and be out of the U-boat's maximum torpedo range.
The fastest commercial airplane is the airbus a380. The airbus a380 has a top speed of 634mph or 1020kph.
The first recognizable car in 1886 reached a top speed of about 10 mph.
Average speed is a value of all the speeds you have travelled at over a certain length of time. Top speed is the absolute highest or fastest speed that you have ever reached. (A one time speed value).

The top speed of an airplane can vary by the model of the plane. The highest speed ever reached was 2,193 miles per hour by an SR-71 Blackbird in 1976.
The SR-71 recon airplane holds that record. Top speed classified, but admitted as at least mach 3.3, The X-15 rocket plane is the very fastest at Mach 6.6, but was purely a research aircraft.
The SR-71 Blackbird is the world's fastest jet, with an unclassified top speed in excess of mach 3. The official record was set it 1976 at 2,193 mph.
The fastest one is the 9ff GT9R with a top speed of 257mph.
it is 280Mph
The US spy plane, Lockheed U-2, has a top speed of 500 mph.
The worlds fastest production car, the Bugatti Veyron Super sport, has a top speed of 267 mph. The land speed world record is held by the Thrustssc, it achieved a top speed of 763.035 mph.
