These are the 10 Fastest Fighter Jets in the World, Capable of Reaching Speeds up to 7,000 km/h.

Jet fighters have undergone significant advancements with the progress of time and technology. The speed and agility of a fighter jet determine its dominance in the air.

Technological advancements have also made jet fighters a crucial part of every nation's air force, with significant changes in both features and performance.

Among the many fighter jets ever built, several boast incredibly high speeds, exceeding 7,000 km/h.

Based on information from flyjetify.com, here is a list of the 10 fastest fighter jets ever made:

1. NASA/USAF X-15 - Mach 6.72 (7,274.2 km/h)
2. SR-71 Blackbird - Mach 3.4 (4,023.4 km/h)
3. Lockheed YF-12 - Mach 3.2 (3,661.3 km/h)
4. MiG-25 Foxbat - Mach 3.2 (3,524.5 km/h)
5. Bell X-2 Starbuster - Mach 3.2 (3,369.9 km/h)
6. XB-70 Valkyrie - Mach 3.02 (3,308.8 km/h)
7. MiG-31 Foxhound - Mach 2.83 (2,999.8 km/h)
8. F-15 Eagle - Mach 2.5 (2,655.4 km/h)
9. F-111 Aardvark - Mach 2.5 (2,655.4 km/h)
10. Su-27 Flanker - Mach 2.35 (2,499.3 km/h)

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.
