Boeing's take on the wide-bodied long-haul plane has already built a reputation for comfort and efficiency. But with a top speed of 1111km/h, it also has speed in its favour. This is a popular plane, with over 1,000 in service around the world. This means that if you are flying ...
The speed of the new aircraft was to exceed 2,000 mph. Other planes of the era could, in theory, approximate that speed but only in short, after-burner-driven bursts. This new plane needed to maintain a record-setting speed for hours at a time. At such velocity, friction with the atm...
In addition, the best top speed any Open Wheel car can muster is about 15 mph slower than that of the Weevil Custom from the Muscle class, despite dominating around a track due to their cornering abilities. So what should you buy? Well there are a number of different situations you could...

That's the true speed lovers way, take the motor from a plane and strap it to a car. Over the years we have seen many different land speed machines hit speeds that are incredible and a bit shocking. We think that driving 140 miles per hour is quick, try 600. We can only imagine...
13,000 mph!!! Ok, from what I'm reading I think calling it an "plane" is a little overstating things. Sounds much more like a glorified warhead. - Launched on a rocket which accelerates it to the ridiculous speed. - No independent powered flight, it then glides the rest of the way...

A model up from the Gulfstream G550, the G650 is a twin-engine business jet plane with top-speed of 610 mph (981 km/h). 13 Boeing 747 8 – 614 mph Source: http://www.boeing.com/commercial/747/ The Boeing 747 8 is the longest passenger aircraft in the world. It’s also the sa...
North-easterly winds gusting up to 65 mph (105 km/h) created a furious airflow over the top of Parker Mountain, and Lisenby harnessed the differential between this high-speed air and the still air on the leeward side of the mountain to create a kind of acceleration feedback l...
Per the rules, the official speed was an average of both legs. Final calculations showed that Joersz and Morgan had broken the previous record by 123 mph – set by a similar Air Force spy plane, the YF-12A, in the ’60s. They actually thought they could do better, hoping for 2,200...
