10 Fastest Aircraft Ever Built

They flew faster than rifle bullets. They reached the edge of space. They were built from titanium, from steel honeycomb, from materials engineered specifically to survive temperatures that would melt aluminum in seconds. These are the ten fastest aircraft ever built — ranked strictly by verified maximum speed achieved in flight.
