Variable wings offer higher speed and maneuverability wit heavy payloads while still retaining the ability to take off and land on shorter runways. The F was introduced in and remained in active service until in the U.
Air Force. The Aardvark was operated mainly by the U. The latter finally retired the aircraft in In the beginning, the CAC meant for the J to be a specialized fighter. However, after the initial tests and design changes, the J was converted into a multirole aircraft.
As you can imagine, the Foxbat was designed for extreme speed and super-maneuverability. The F-4 was undoubtedly the king of the heavens at that time, but it had met its match. The two fighter jets went toe-to-toe over Northern Vietnam, with none coming off as superior to the other.
The MiG is a true engineering marvel considering its exemplary performance coupled with affordability. To this day, the MiGs are still in service even though most of them have been upgraded into the MiG The MIG had everyone in utter shock back in when it reached an all-new altitude record of , feet. Is also simultaneously set a new record for the most height reached in the least time at , feet in just minutes.
Additionally, it was also the first among the generation of jets that were able to use radar to detect and intercept stealth fighters.
This aircraft could get to altitude in record time, stay in the air for lengthy periods, lock onto both conventional and stealth crafts, and unleash long-range, radar-guided missiles. The Russian MIG is expected to remain in service until Below aircraft deserve a place on this list as well, even though they are not technically fighter planes.
At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union designed two single-engine fighter jets in a bid to claim airspeed superiority. As such, the purpose was to see what the limits were in world air-speed records. The principle was fundamental back then. It was who could get to a location first, drop their loot, and get away unscathed. Nonetheless, the Ye was all flash but no cash. Sure, it could achieve dizzying speeds of up to Mach 2. As such, the Soviet Union figured that the Ye family was better suited to having two engines rather than one.
This led to the development if the YeA, which used an R twin turbojet design that proved to be a lot more reliable. The YeA was better equipped at withstanding the stresses of sustained supersonic flight.
Performance aside, the XB has to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing fighter crafts ever designed. Also, its legacy would end up being something entirely different from what it was intended to do. Originally, the XB was designed to be the most lethal manned-strategic-bomber known to man.
Although slower in comparison, modern jets are far more manoeuvrable than their predecessors. This is because when jets are built for sheer speed, many compromises must be made, such as using heaving steel instead of lighter aluminium.
The fourth fastest fighter jet ever is the fastest still in service today. The only faster jets were either experimental or had much larger budgets and were also used by NASA, so taking that into consideration, the MiG is quite special.
Not nearly as manoeuvrable as the MiG designed to replace it, the Foxbat is still one of the fastest jets ever and has held this title for over 50 years. Considering its age, and that it is still in limited service, this makes the Foxbat somewhat special. The direct replacement for the MiG may not be quite as fast unless you want to risk damaging the engines , but it offers far more manoeuvrability for air superiority.
The MiG Foxhound is less about sheer speed and is instead easier to fly at lower altitudes and is much more agile, while still being capable of exceptional speeds.
Rising from position seven as the fastest fighter jet ever to position two as the fastest fighter jet still in service, the MiG is exceptionally impressive and shows that while speed may not be everything, it is definitely something. Number eight as the fastest fighter jet ever rising to number three as the fastest fighter jet still in service, the F Eagle proves itself as one of the best all-round multirole fighter jets every produced.
Number 10 in the fastest jets ever, the Su rises to number five in the fastest jets still in service. A direct competitor to the F, the Flanker may not be quite as fast but still offers equally as impressive manoeuvrability.
The diversity of the Su is also impressive with models such as the Su and Su being developed from its design. Newer than the F, the Su shows no signs of retiring soon and matches well with the MiG as a counterpart. Not quite as fast as the Su but at almost half the cost, the MiG may be older but one that is still favourable today. Here at Jetify, we like the MiG Fulcrum so much , we offer it as one of our many fighter jet flights. A direct competitor to the MiG and Su as well as the F and F, the J was initially designed as a specialised fighter but later became a multirole fighter capable of air-to-air combat as well as ground attack.
Being so new in terms of development, there are only a few variations of the J but with speeds up to Mach 2. The fastest French fighter and seventh in the top 10 is the Dassault Mirage , capable of an impressive Mach 2.
Introduced in the s, the Mirage is a single-engined, multirole fighter that was designed to replace the Mirage III. Originally developed as a lightweight fighter, the end result was actually a multiple aircraft with several variants that numerous airforces have adopted. Early developed actually focused on a competitor to the Panavia Tornado, but due to increasing complexities and cost, the project was simplified and the Mirage was the end result.
A highly advanced fighter jet, the Lockheed Martin F Raptor is an all-weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft. Introduced in but with production ending in after just aircraft, the F is quite a rare sight.
What makes the Raptor special is being the first operational aircraft to combine stealth, super cruise, super manoeuvrability, and sensor fusion into a single weapon platform. The F was banned from export due to the stealth technology used as well as other classified features, and due to its high cost and lack of competitors, focus was moved to the more versatile F Lightning II.
Developed by a consortium of defence manufacturers, the Eurofighter Typhoon is a multirole fighter that has been adopted by many countries including the UK, Germany and Spain. France left the consortium in order to product the Dassault Rafale independently. The Typhoon entered production in the mid s and is still being built today. It may not be the fastest, but it is incredibly agile and serves as an air defence aircraft for most countries that have adopted it. The Sukhoi Su is a fifth generation multirole stealth fighter produced in the late s and is planned to eventually replace the MiG and Su Judson on 9.

Its mission is to test reusable space technologies, then come back to Earth. On the way down, the X reenters Earth's atmosphere at an average speed of 16 times the speed of sound but has come back as fast as Mach The fastest fighter still in service today is the Soviet-built MiG Mikoyan designed this fighter to be a pure interceptor aircraft.
As a result, the Foxbat can sustain a cruising speed of Mach 2. The F has been flying for more than 30 years and is set to keep going. The reason is just good design, another aircraft initially designed to catch incoming enemies and destroy them.
The F can fly at a top speed of 3, miles per hour, then stop, hit ground targets, and fade away. When the Russians needed something that could try to chase down the vaunted SR Blackbird, they called up the MiG and its Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. The only problem is that it doesn't handle as well as its predecessor, the MiG
