The fastest aircraft publicly known is the SR-71 "Blackbird", which set speed records at 1905.81 knots (2,193.17 mph, 3,529.56 km/h)
There may be faster aircraft today; the rumored "Aurora" aircraft using a pulse-jet engine may be capable of Mach 5 or more.
The Space Shuttle reaches speeds of up to 17,000 MPH while in orbit, and reaches mach 20 during its return to Earth and landing.

How do paper planes fly?
Paper airplanes fly because of the velocity and air pressure on either sides of the wings. Air is also pushed to the bottom upward to the plane.
How low do you have to fly to fly under radar?
It depends. Flying below radar is usually flying below the equipment used to detect things on radar. It could be a very high tower, hundreds of stories off of the ground, or it could be a satellite just a couple stories off of the ground.
What documents or information is provided by a project sponsor?
A project sponsor will typically provide some or all of the following:authority to use the resources of the organization to execute the projectthe business casethe scope, and guidance on scope managementthe budget, and guidance on burn rateguidance on quality, critical success factors, and other understandings of what will constitute "done"the "done by" datean introduction to the key stakeholdersfacilitate access to resources, from people to technologygovernance, including acting as chair of the steering committeea political back stop, when you have to say "no" to change requestsA good project sponsor will "fly air cover" for the project manager and project team; a bad one will make the team wish they had someone to fly air cover for them. Your earliest meetings with your project sponsor will give you the chance to exchange your expectations of each other; use them wisely.
What are the pros and cons of a steam engine?
Locomotives transport food, coal, oil, and freight. This would be otherwise too heavy to fly with. It helps facilitate the world of commerce. However, they are very slow, loud and polluting to the environment.
Does a rocket ship go further when its heavy or light?
This will depend if by bigger you mean having a larger payload, with the same amount of propellant, or it the payload is the same and only the mass of propellant changes. If you have more propellant/rocket fuel then the rocket will have more energy. The equation E=.5mv2 (e=energy, m=mass, and v=velocity) shows that if you have more energy then the velocity will increase. But if there is more mass then the velocity will be less. So the question is tough to answer with no set values as to the mass of the rocket fuel vs the mass of the payload. However if this is about rockets in space, where the net force acting on the rocket during the trip is effectively zero( no friction in space), then both rockets will go equally far, both will go indefinitely, with one just going faster than the other.
How fast can a cockpit airplane fly?
All aircraft have cockpits. The fastest fly around 1,600 mph.
How fast does a passager plane go?
Jet Aircraft fly at approx 850 km/hour (530 mph). Turboprops fly at approx 500 km/hour (320 mph) . The fastest passenger aircraft ever built was the Concorde which could cruise at about 2.05 Mach ( 2140 km/h or 1334 mph). The fastest passenger turboprop was the Soviet built Tupolev TU-114 which could cruise at 850 km/h or 530 mph, as fast as any jet aircraft.
How fast does an Airbus 231 fly?
There is no such aircraft.
How fast can an airplane fly today?
Passenger airplanes fly at a speed ranging from 600 to 980 kph. Military aircrafts fly faster. The fastest military aircraft was the SR-71. It flew at a speed of Mach 3.5.
Do heavier airplanes fly faster?
Not necessarily. The aircraft with better power to weight ratio will fly fastest.
Can hummingbirds fly fast?
They are the fastest flying bird.
How fast can an F-17 aircraft fly?
12 newtons
What is the maximum speed of the fastest aircraft?
The Air Force still hasn't said how fast an SR-71 will go. We do know they'll fly 1800 mph without much stress.
Did Ray Charles ever have a license to fly an aircraft?
no
How fast does a Airbus fly?
There are many different Airbus aircraft. Most fly between 540 and 630 mph.
What was the largest aircraft ever to fly?
Hughes H-4 Hercules
How fast does it fly on lift off?
The aircraft has to go 100 mph or more (depends on aircraft) to get off the ground in time.
