The NASA/USAF X-15, with a speed of 7,274.2 km/h, holds the record as the world's fastest fighter jet. Officially named the North American X-15, it was an experimental aircraft developed by the USAF (United States Air Force), NASA, and USN (United States Navy).
The X-15's remarkable speed is primarily due to its rocket propulsion system. In addition to being the world's fastest manned aircraft, the X-15 also holds the record for the highest manned flight, reaching an altitude of 107.8 km.
Retired in 1970, the X-15 is now displayed in several aviation museums worldwide. This aircraft was a pioneer in the development of spacecraft, one of which would eventually carry Neil Armstrong to the Moon.
