What is the stream behind a jet called?

The condensate or "con" trail. There can be two sources. Water is a significant component of efficient fossil fuel combustion. When this hot water (essentially dry steam) exits the plane's engine it cools and condenses into small water droplets that look like long straight clouds. Also, moisture in the air flowing around the wing tip can compress and expand again, showing up as a thin streak of cloud.


What is the fastest aircraft ever and how fast can it fly?

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.

What is another term for petroleum?

Another name for petroleum is crude oil, which describes its natural, unrefined state. It’s also called a fossil fuel because it forms from ancient plants and animals over millions of years. In some cases, people use the term black gold because of its economic importance, similar to how gold is valued. Regardless of the name, petroleum remains a key energy source, refined into fuels like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel for global industries.
