It depend on what types of aircraft it is
The fastest should be Mig-25 made by USSR, which can travel in 3 Mach
And there’s some old fashioned jet too, like Me-262 can travel about 865km/h, although it’s from WWII, but it’s count to because it’s the first jet fighter in the world. Btw, it’s not necessary to let a human drive fighter too fast, 2 Mach is enough. 1.6K views

When the US planned to build the MACH 3 B-70, the Russians wanted a Fighter that could match it’s speed. So, they built the MIG 25 which did almost 2200 mph but i’ll bet it took the Airspace of Georgia to turn the sucker at that speed! Other than that, the F104, the F4, the B58 all had almost identical Speed Records around 1500 or so. 1.7K views
