I felt like it was a bit unfair. It wasn't purely missiles it was missiles and MIRVs. A re-entry vehicle (MIRV) is obviously going to go way faster than any missile in atmosphere when the MIRV has less to no air resistance against it and it has gravity on its side. It's still fascinating, but it feels a bit cheeky saying "this last part that comes bad down from low earth orbit is faster than this one that travels from point A to point B and never gets above 2000 meters above its launch point" or whatever.
The SR-71 Blackbird was used to fly deep into enemy territory (usually Soviet) and collect information that was inaccessible by using satellites. Its speed and recon from high altitude (85,000 feet or 16 miles) allowed it to avoid interception and in some cases literally outrun missiles. The main reason for its lack of widespread use was its cost: ~$250 million per year of operation per plane + ~$20,000 per hour for the fuel
Technically, the U2 Dragonlady was the one to flight deep into Soviet territory, I believe. However, after one crashed and the pilot captured, the US decided to have the SR-71 fly along the Soviet’s borders instead. Its cameras were so sharp and HD, that the SR-71 didn’t need to fly all that deep into the territory. The cameras could do that for it.
The SR-71 never flew into Soviet airspace, it flew along the border of the airspace and shot its recon photos at an angle deep into the territory at incredibly high altitude. They didn't need to violate the airspace to get the intel they wanted which is what pissed the Soviets off so much.
The first flight of the X-15 was 1959 and did a mach 6.7 flight in 1967. The Wright flight was 1903. That's only a span of 56 years and 64 years respectively. Also never forget, the space shuttle goes mach 25. Not 2.5 but 25.
The blackbird flew at the edge of space, with it's cameras it could see everything. It's speed was it's defense against enemy anti-aircraft measures, it was so fast it could outrun missiles.
@@arkthefennecfox2366 No SR-71 was ever shot down. You are probably mixing it with the F-117 Nighthawk which was shot down in Yugoslavia in 1999 or the U-2 shot down by the soviets. The F-117 was not capable of supersonic flight. It relied on its stealth to avoid anti aircraft missiles but failed that one time. And the SR-71 was not a stealth aircraft, the soviets almost certainly could pick it up on their radars atleast by the 70s but they just simply couldn't touch it at that altitude and speed.
When I lived on the South Llano river in west Texas you'd occasionally hear F-22's fly by in the river valley. They came by at eye level since my house was around 100 feet above the valley/river. The only way to get a glimpse of them is if there were at least two of them since they were long gone by the time you heard em. As I said they were eye level and they were around 100 yards away and they were flat out hauling ass!!!
The Xb-70 Valkire was a long range nuclear bomber prototype that was designed to go mach3 plus. They only built 2 and one was destroyed in a collision with a F-104 Starfighter escort. The other one on display at the Air Force Museum.
Stealth planes tend to be slower because the friction with the air (heat) at higher speeds damages the radar absorbent material and would ruin the planes stealth
I believe top speed has no real effect on the human body. It's the acceleration and deceleration that messes us up. Unless I'm mistaken, you could be just fine at mach10 as long as you accelerated to that point very gradually.
@@Mike-if1nnmost manned space programs im pretty sure exceeded mach 10 to get up there. i think it was the channel smarter every day did a video in a plane with the us military and showed what it looked like breaking the sound barrier. pretty anti climatic😅
The Mig-25 & 31, if they're to try, and, maintain their on-paper top speed any longer than about 2 - 3 minutes, their crappy, Russkie engines start to disintegrate. And, the Chengdou J-20, in reality, can't go anywhere near as fast as it says here.
The messerschmitt Me 262 was the first Jet engine aircraft in production, not the Bell X-1. Also the spitfire was plagued by oil problems, not as amazing of an aircraft as the movies make it out to be, killed a lot of their own pilots.
I found RED SIDE recently and binge watched so many of the videos, love that it's done in Unreal Engine 5. Also the cost difference between the F-22 and the F-35 is crazy, $63mi
Well the spitfire shown in the video is a Spitfire mk5 . Its top speed is 594 kmph, but the last variation of the Spitfire, the Spitfire mk 24 s top speed is 774 kmph (484mph) while its successor the Spitefull , and its last variation the Spitefull F mk 16 s top speed is about 795 kmph ( 494mph) making it the second fastest piston engine fighter aircraft ever, while the fastest piston engine fighter plane is the prototype p47 called xp 72, AKA (XP47 j ) with a top speed of 812 kmph ( 505 mph)
Long, long ago, . . . when I was a kid we regularly heard the sound barrier being broken by the Military planes. It was a near daily occurrence. The boom goes through you. And they are not doing recon at those speeds. They are running away when they get caught doing recon. 😉
the f22 top speed is still i think completely classified. along with the competitor top speed of the yf23 too my knowledge they just let you know basically what the minimum specs for the aircraft to get accepted into the program.
Fun fact: Based off of the A-12, the SR-71 series aircraft was developed solely for the USAF under a highly classified enemy perimeter surveillance program. The YF/A-12 and M-12 series aircraft was only ever operated by the CIA; pilots included. These collected surveillance, even over enemy airspace. SR-71 = “official-unofficial” black plane missions and the YF/A-12 = “nonexistent/unofficial” missions lol
The YF-12 was a prototype for a MACH 3+ interceptor based on the A-12/SR-71 family of aircraft. it was cancelled before going into production, but if it had entered service its job would have been to intercept soviet bombers with 3x AIM-47A Falcon missiles. the first versions of which contained a W42 Nuclear warhead. although the YF-12 was cancelled the AIM-47 was further developed into the AIM-54 Pheonix missile made famous by the F-14 Tomcat.
14:40 The body will undergo extreme G forces (gravitational Force) and a normal Human Cannot Handle more than 3-4 Gs And If the G limit Increases you will be put on G lock Basically you will go unconscious.
I'm planning something capable of Mach 9 and its manned so you can experience 11,000kph, 6,850mph or 10,000ft/s, 3 times more than the muzzle velocity of a 50BMG
The Rutan Voyager (Roo-tan) 1:54 was the first aircraft to fly around the world non stop without refueling. The creator of the plane, Burt Rutan, was also one of the two pilots of the round the world flight, and designed many other aircraft...including the only other airplane to fly around the world non stop without refueling. 😁 As noted, the Bell X-1 was not a jet...it was rocket powered to be the first aircraft to break the speed of sound in 1947 with Chuck Yeager as pilot. Speed indicated for the SU-35 is correct for the Mach 2.25 number, but then that Mach number is calculated way wrong...Mach 2.25 is about 1500mph...not the ridiculous 1726mph that is used.
In Afghanistan I think it was there was an f-16 pilot trying to help some guys on the ground but the enemy were to close so he got his wing man to follow him they climbed high and then dove almost straight down on the enemy position and the went super sonic and used the sonic boom coming straight down on them to scare them and it worked they said the whole world felt like it was shaking on the ground and that was a small plane think about how big of a boom big planes make.
The F35 is a bit unfair because its the only plane in the list that runs dry (order of magnitude more fuel efficent). F22 can run dry faster and as far as we know concorde is the fastest aircraft when running dry. Worth saying is that yb70 and sr71 was specially designed to run wet so they are a bit more fuel efficent then say the mig 25/31 when running wet. Also worth saying is that the mig 25 and 31 is basically the same aircraft, 31 is just 25% larger. Its much larger than it it looks, almost as long as a 737-100
The SR-71 could out run the sam missiles and the russian aircraft sent to shoot it down. And it could fly higher,at the edge of space, so nothing could touch it. it was retired when we came up with military satellites.
Video creator should have put the space shuttle at the end lol. Speed during re-entry was ~mach 25 (~17,500 mph). Albeit, at that speed it's control surfaces weren't used for aerodynamic stability. Still, wild as a point of comparison.
One hundred years bollocks The X-15 debuted in 1959 , 56 years after the Wright Flyer The pilots of the X-15 were officially the first astronauts. The X-15's highest speed, 4,520 miles per hour (7,274 km/h; 2,021 m/s), was achieved on 3 October 1967, when William J. Knight flew at Mach 6.7 at an altitude of 102,100 feet (31,120 m), or 19.34 miles. This set the official world record for the highest speed ever recorded by a crewed, powered aircraft, which remains unbroken. During the X-15 program, 12 pilots flew a combined 199 flights. Of these, 8 pilots flew a combined 13 flights which met the Air Force spaceflight criterion by exceeding the altitude of 50 miles (80 km), thus qualifying these pilots as being astronauts; of those 13 flights, two (flown by the same civilian pilot) met the FAI definition (100 kilometres (62 mi)) of outer space. The 5 Air Force pilots qualified for military astronaut wings immediately, while the 3 civilian pilots were eventually awarded NASA astronaut wings in 2005, 35 years after the last X-15 flight
The F-22 can fly on Super Cruise for long periods unlike any other jet aircraft that can only do it for short bursts. And the F-22 is the only US fighter we wont sell to anyone even our allies.
Mind you everything China and Russia made after the Su25 has never been seen to go as fast as it claims. Su35 has only been seen to go 67% of the speed they claimed even during trials.
So I may be talking out of my ass. But I question some of these numbers specifically the F-16. The reason aerodynamics and wind flow the air intake for the turbine does not have diffusers or anything to slow the air down. Thus, it cannot go mock too as you would have an inverse of aerodynamics and the engine would just get sheared right out of it. If I'm wrong or if there has been something added that I am unaware of, I'm going off of my knowledge from at least 15 years ago then. Please correct me, but if you ever look at the front of an F-16 at that giant shark mouth, you can see the turbine right there which means there's no diffuser system
That SU 57? After years and years of delays the Russians now have a whole 22 of them. AND they are NOT true stealth/5th Gen aircraft it's too big. The US had what? 920 F-35 aircraft? AND the F 35 is a multi-role fighter while the F-22 is air superiority aircraft. Miss me with how great the SU 57 is. Its junk and they cant work out all the bugs.
Fun Fact: We actually went from barely being able to get off the ground (Wright Flyer, 1903), to the fastest, air-breathing, human-piloted aircraft EVER (SR-71, 1963), in just 60 years. Yet in the (roughly) 100 years since Dr. Robert Goddard first pioneered modern rocketry, we are still using the same, basic technology.

14:39 while going that speed you wouldn't really feel much. As what really affects you is change in acceleration. Think of it how you don't feel any different driving down the highway vs a normal road, but speeding up to get onto the highway will push you back into your seat.
The F-111 had an interesting ejection system, the entire cockpit would detach from the plane and slow down with parachutes before the pilot ejected. They stopped using those jets since many of the materials in the plane had asbestos in them. Australia buried dozens of those jets in a mass landfill about five years ago
The SR 71? "You can't see anything going that fast." That would be correct at 20,000 ft, BUT..... the SR 71 flies at 80,000 where it has a fantastic view.
If you want to learn more about the SR 71, then check out the videos "Why Was This Plane Invulnerable" By Mustard and " How Was The Blackbirds Program Kept Secret" By Not What You Think, I think you would like the vids
Although one thing this video got horribly wrong, you won’t hear them/process you heard them if right below the sound barrier, until they already bombed you/took pictures. You’re dead before or right as you realize an aircraft is there…and the insanely fast ones, you’ll bebkucky to see them, as high altitude and super fast, it’ll be seconds after you seen them/could see them, that you’ll hear them. And by then. They are gone, beyond visual range. And oh, trust me F-15’s are faster than that at altitude, they beat every official Soviet posted speed and altitude record, as they (Soviet) made can’t perform to what they say, and only blow up/crash or they attempt it, where as ours US out perform our publicly released data, by at least a little, if not a lot. No propaganda, just the truth. Even our helos far outperform stated stats, easily, let alone jets. An F-15 will out run any Soviet or other made, conventional jet engine powered aircraft or any other one ever made with the exception of the XB-70, YF and SR 71 variants, all American made mind you, that’s reality and history. Been proven decades and decades ago, over 5 decades ago and running still.
Fastest missiles comparison is even funnier and scary 😂

Worth it.
The SR-72 is an unreleased confirmed successor to the SR-71, which will have a cruising speed of close to Mach 7

@@F15EX_Eagle_II "reported" mach 7 ...meaning a smidge faster under circumstances warranted. Designed to mach any enemy

The plane that flew by around 2:19 was F-15 Eagle. There was White transparent caption at top of video. Mach 2.5 (2,665kph)

A sonic boom perhaps?

Speed doesn't affect the human body, only acceleration does.
Wild video. From the Wright Bros first flight in 1903 it was only 66 years until man landed on the moon in 1969. Its been 55 years since then.
The Rutan Voyager is the first aircraft to fly around the world non stop and unrefueled.
“The first jet!” The Messerschmitt me 262 “am I a joke to you?”
Human body doesn't care about constant speed, it's sudden changes (aka acceleration/deceleration) that become the problem.
exactly - it's not the fall that kills you, it's the poorly managed deceleration
The reason the F35 is “slow” by comparison is because of studies showing that pilots rarely ever pushed Mach 1.8 in general flying in combat
On the sr-71 recon, I recall a story saying it could take a picture of your newspaper headline while absolutely BLASTING through the sky
Stealth planes tend to be slower because the friction with the air (heat) at higher speeds damages the radar absorbent material and would ruin the planes stealth
The blackbird gets me so pumped

The Bell X-1 was not a jet. It was rocket powered. Jet engines require an outside air source to function, rocket engies do not.

Whatever does not have a propeller or has an afterburner, I count as a jet. Rocket powered jets included.
Give me an F-104 -Lawndart- I mean -Widowmaker- no, I mean Starfighter. Absolutely beautiful with that T-tail.

Well the spitfire shown in the video is a Spitfire mk5 .

The North American XB-70 Valkyrie was supposed to be a supersonic bomber, but was fraught with problems. Hence why there was only 2 built.
The SR-71 Blackbird has never reached a true top speed ax the aircrews were forbidden to advance the throttles above 70%.
Why was that?
Probably would melt the engine for extended use. Probably just used in emergency.
Bell X-1 was not one of the first jet/rocket aircraft but it was the first yo brake the sound barrier
Long, long ago, . . . when I was a kid we regularly heard the sound barrier being broken by the Military planes. It was a near daily occurrence. The boom goes through you.
And they are not doing recon at those speeds. They are running away when they get caught doing recon. 😉
At Mach 10 in the darkstar it would legit take like 3 hours and 40 minutes to fly around the globe :|
📷 cameraman 😂
Cameraman in the UFO 😂😂😂
The F15 is America's most elegant fighter jet. Love it even more than the F22s and F35s.
At Mach 30 you would be doing hot laps around the planet. Right around one trip around the equator per hour. Thats ripping.
Also allegedly there is a us aircraft called the tr3b black manta, you should watch this I highly recommend it if you are into us aircraft

The blackbird was built to outrun Russian missiles LOL. And it did on a few occasions. That's just the ones we know about.
SR-71 still the fasted air breathing jet to ever fly. There's some good videos out there on the design and building of the aircraft.

And the F-22 is the only US fighter we wont sell to anyone even our allies.
just look at the shape of the planes but do you think the space shuttle really does 17.000 mph in 6 minutes from takeoff

That SU 57? After years and years of delays the Russians now have a whole 22 of them. AND they are NOT true stealth/5th Gen aircraft it's too big. The US had what? 920 F-35 aircraft? AND the F 35 is a multi-role fighter while the F-22 is air superiority aircraft. Miss me with how great the SU 57 is. Its junk and they cant work out all the bugs.
They built the 1000th F35 this past January, thats a lot of jets.
F35 uses standoff weapons. You need time to launch those.
They never really gave the real speed or altitude.
I believe the X-43 was a ramjet .
*Scramjet
@@MDDeGrande1994 Thanks buddy ! ! ! Scramjets don't do well in in the lower atmosphere.
@@stevenmcgrath5114 Yeah, this is just a CGI animation where physics don't really count.
Whos the guy in the corner?😂
I'm a 10%er! Haha
Fun Fact: We actually went from barely being able to get off the ground (Wright Flyer, 1903), to the fastest, air-breathing, human-piloted aircraft EVER (SR-71, 1963), in just 60 years. Yet in the (roughly) 100 years since Dr. Robert Goddard first pioneered modern rocketry, we are still using the same, basic technology.
Still waiting in the halo 3d comparisons
Bell X1 and X15 were not jets. It was rocket-powered so technically not a plane.
That speed for F-15 is incorrect. The actual top speed of the F-15c is 1994 mph.
Messerschmitt was the first jet 3:49 🤙
You have to create video on Hindu's most favourite songs like shiv tandav by Shankar Mahadevan or uma mohan, the Hanuman chalisa by sachet parampara, kaal bhairav strotam by agam Agarwal and aigiri nandini. I will give you 100% guarantee that after listening this songs your mind will be relax and feeling very strong.. I have given you the next content for you .. jai hind jai shree ram 🚩
Damn, I'm finding out now that when I took those 2 tabs of acid back in the 90's I went mach 30 lol
The Messerschmitt was the first jet
14:39 while going that speed you wouldn't really feel much. As what really affects you is change in acceleration. Think of it how you don't feel any different driving down the highway vs a normal road, but speeding up to get onto the highway will push you back into your seat.
The F-111 had an interesting ejection system, the entire cockpit would detach from the plane and slow down with parachutes before the pilot ejected. They stopped using those jets since many of the materials in the plane had asbestos in them. Australia buried dozens of those jets in a mass landfill about five years ago
You should watch the found and explained video on the sr-72
The SR 71? "You can't see anything going that fast." That would be correct at 20,000 ft, BUT..... the SR 71 flies at 80,000 where it has a fantastic view.
If you want to learn more about the SR 71, then check out the videos "Why Was This Plane Invulnerable" By Mustard and " How Was The Blackbirds Program Kept Secret" By Not What You Think, I think you would like the vids
I’m pretty sure the seatbelt inventor traveled Mach speeds on land to prove the need for seatbelts
Although one thing this video got horribly wrong, you won’t hear them/process you heard them if right below the sound barrier, until they already bombed you/took pictures. You’re dead before or right as you realize an aircraft is there…and the insanely fast ones, you’ll bebkucky to see them, as high altitude and super fast, it’ll be seconds after you seen them/could see them, that you’ll hear them. And by then. They are gone, beyond visual range. And oh, trust me F-15’s are faster than that at altitude, they beat every official Soviet posted speed and altitude record, as they (Soviet) made can’t perform to what they say, and only blow up/crash or they attempt it, where as ours US out perform our publicly released data, by at least a little, if not a lot. No propaganda, just the truth. Even our helos far outperform stated stats, easily, let alone jets. An F-15 will out run any Soviet or other made, conventional jet engine powered aircraft or any other one ever made with the exception of the XB-70, YF and SR 71 variants, all American made mind you, that’s reality and history. Been proven decades and decades ago, over 5 decades ago and running still.
Really cool video, you seem like a really nice dude have a pint with. Jus sayen.
Your camshot blocked to much of the video !!!
