North American X-15. If the type of engine is not limited to jet-powered engines, then the North American X-15 is the fastest airplane. Powered by a rocket engine, the X-15 is said to have reached a speed of 4,520 miles (7,274 km) per hour. Like the X-43, it is launched mid-air from a B-52.
Though not the world's absolute fastest aircraft, the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor can accelerate to and sustain supersonic speeds without the use of its afterburners. The Boeing 747 has a cruise speed of 550 miles per hour, which is actually faster than the top speed combat fighters could achieve in World War Two.
