The fastest recorded speed achieved by an aircraft is approximately Mach 9.6, set by the North American X-15 rocket plane in 1967. This speed is about 7,310 miles per hour (11,750 kilometers per hour) at an altitude of around 102,000 feet. In terms of spacecraft, the Parker Solar Probe, launched in 2018, is expected to reach speeds of up to Mach 430,000 as it approaches the Sun.
What else can I help you with?
How fast is Mach 1 Mach 2 Mach 3 Mach 4 etc to the fastest Mach level on record?
The mach number is the speed, compared to the speed of sound in air. Thus, mach 1 is the speed of sound, mach 2 is twice (2 times) the speed of sound, mach 3 is 3 times the speed of sound, etc.

What was the name of the fastest commercial airline?
The Russian built Tu-144 is the fastest passenger aircraft with a maximum speed of Mach 2.35. (The maximum speed for the Concord is listed as Mach 2.2.)The Russian Tu-144 was retired due to technical and safety issues.Currently in service...The fastest private passenger aircraft in service right now is the Cessna Citation X business jet. It has a max speed of mach .92
Are there aircraft that fly at mach 3?
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. Mach 2.8 Source: NASA & Aviation Trivia

How fast is an f-22 raptor?

What is the fastest Mach speed a human can travel?
Answer"Mach speed" refers to the speed of sound in earth's atmosphere. Mach 1 is the the speed of sound, Mach 2 is twice that, and so forth. A human can travel at any Mach speed at all. Your question fails to specify whether or not surviving the experience is a requirement. AnswerA human can travel at any Mach speed he/she wants. In orbit, the Space Shuttle travels at speeds well over Mach 30. It is the G-force which causes people to pass out. G-force is caused due to acceleration, not speed. A force of 5G can make a fit person pass out.
