Which is the tallest plane to fly in the world

The second floor is too good for nonsense! 100 kilometers, all into space! You think it's a space station!

The tallest aircraft in the world is indeed the X-15 test aircraft mentioned on the third floor. But this aircraft does not use practical jet engines, and a lot of technical measures are added to fly in rarefied air. So it can only be regarded as a special case.

It can't be considered a real practical aircraft altitude record.

Among the aircraft with practical use, the altitude record was set by two American military reconnaissance aircraft: the U-2 and the SR-71. Among them, the U-2 is a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft that began to be put into use at the end of the fifties, designed for high-altitude reconnaissance in socialist countries such as the Soviet Union and China, and flew at an altitude of more than 30,000 meters (that is, 30 kilometers, not 100 kilometers!).

However, this kind of aircraft is not fast, and although the fighters of China, the Soviet Union, and other countries cannot fly so high and cannot intercept it, they can easily shoot it down with ground-to-air missiles. China used missiles to shoot down five U-2 planes that entered China for reconnaissance.

So the United States quickly stopped such reconnaissance activities. But this aircraft has not been decommissioned, and during the Gulf War, the United States also used it to conduct reconnaissance in Iraq. In addition, some U-2s have been converted into research aircraft to carry out high-altitude atmospheric research.

In view of some weaknesses of the U-2, the United States began to develop a higher-speed high-altitude aircraft in the sixties, which was later the SR-71 "Blackbird" strategic reconnaissance aircraft. This aircraft not only flies at an altitude of more than 30,000 meters (the highest has climbed to nearly 35,000 meters), but also has a maximum speed of more than three times the speed of sound, and is known as a "double-three" aircraft. The speed and altitude of the aircraft were beyond the reach of all other countries, and there was no record of any shot down.

It had conducted reconnaissance of our Lop Nur nuclear test site, and we did not have any means to intercept it effectively.

It is a x 15 a research testing machine.

The world's highest-flying aircraft is the American X 15 A research test aircraft. On March 30, 1961, NASA test pilot Joseph Volcker flew the aircraft to an altitude of 10,000 meters, on April 30, 1962 to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and on July 17, he flew to an altitude of 10,000 meters, which was officially approved by the World Aviation Organization as an absolute world record. In doing so, he became the world's first "astronaut to fly an airplane".

NASA stipulates that astronauts can be called astronauts if they fly at an altitude of more than 80,000 meters. On August 22, 1963, he flew again to an altitude of 10,000 meters over Edward Air Force Base.

The SR-71 supersonic reconnaissance aircraft is an M3 high-altitude strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed Corporation of the United States, which began to be developed in February 1963, began test flights in December 1964, was delivered in January 1966, and was fully retired in 1990. The SR-71 is 93% titanium alloy, its aerodynamic shape is delta wing, twin vertical tails, and the engines are arranged on the wings. There are three modifications of the SR-71:

Type A, strategic reconnaissance type, a total of 25 aircraft were produced; Type B, trainer type, a total of 2 aircraft were produced; Type C, a trainer modified from Type A.

Performance data: maximum level flight speed 1,000 km/h, altitude 24,000 m), cruising speed km/h, altitude 21,000 m), reconnaissance altitude 24,000 m, practical ceiling 26,600 m, active radius 1,930 km, range 4,800 km, endurance hours.

If you want to fly 30,000 meters is a piece of cake, except for drones, no one has flown higher and faster than him for more than 40 years. The X-15 should be considered an aerospace aircraft, and it should not be compared, but it should be compared with the space shuttle (personal opinion).

To correct it, it is true that in the history of China 5 planes were shot down with SAMs, but not 5 U2s, among which there were other reconnaissance aircraft, and these planes, although owned by the United States, were actually piloted by the Kuomintang Air Force of the Taiwanese.

The U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of the United States flew in the stratosphere, about 100 kilometers high, but that was a few years ago, and now there may be higher.

SR-71 Blackbird, our army shot down a total of 4 U-2s

The highest flying aircraft in the world is the American X-15A test aircraft. The maximum flight altitude is 10,000 meters.

The X-15A test aircraft is a North American aviation flight.

The high-altitude and high-speed testing machine developed by the company is equipped with a rocket engine and coated with materials that can withstand high temperatures of 1648 degrees Celsius.

On July 17, 1962, this test aircraft reached an altitude of 95,936 meters in a test flight, setting a world record and being recognized by the World Aviation Organization.

The experimental aircraft flew at a maximum altitude of 10,000 meters on August 22, 1963, over Edwards Air Force Base. To date, no aircraft of any type has broken this record, making the X-15A the world's tallest flying aircraft.

The most high-flying aircraft in the world is the Midu

X-15A testing machine of the country. It is a high-altitude high altitude developed by North American Airlines with a rocket as the dynamic return force.

A speed testing machine, equipped with a rocket engine, coated with materials that can withstand temperatures of 1648 degrees Celsius.

On March 30, 1961, NASA test pilot Volcker flew the aircraft to an altitude of 51,695 meters. On July 17, 1962, he flew to an altitude of 95,936 meters, which was officially approved by the World Aviation Organization as an absolute world record. In doing so, he became the world's first "astronaut to fly an airplane" (NASA regulations:

Astronauts can be called astronauts at an altitude of more than 80,000 meters). On August 22, 1963, he flew again to an altitude of 10,000 meters over Edwards Air Force Base. This height has not yet been broken.

The X-15A was also the fastest flying aircraft, setting a Mach speed record on October 3, 1967.

In the ranking of the world's most highest-flying aircraft, the F-22 did not enter the top four, and the SR-71 only ranked second, which was unexpectedly first.

The world's highest-flying aircraft is the MiG-25 (dropped flying fox fighter) developed by the former Soviet Union, which can fly 27 kilometers and is the highest flying aircraft in the world.

The An-225 transport aircraft produced by the former Soviet Union was originally designed to carry space shuttles, and with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the An-225 also disappeared from people's sight, but after a decade of silence, the world's largest aircraft has recently taken to the skies again.

The An-225 successfully completed a 15-minute test flight at Hostomel Airport near the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. Petro Barabuev, president of Antonov, said: "The trial was very successful and everything went well. "He hopes that the An-225 will be able to.

It will be put into commercial operation six weeks later.

The six-engine An-225 is capable of carrying up to 250 tons of cargo, which is more than twice as much as the previous world's largest transport aircraft, another model of the Antonov product, and its main purpose will be super-heavy air transportation.

The An-225 has a wingspan width of meters, and its cabin can accommodate 80 cars. Antonov and Ukraine's Motor-Sych jointly produced the latest An-225, which cost about $20 million. Two An-225s have been produced in the world, and only one of them has ever taken to the skies.

The collapse of the Soviet Union hit Ukraine's aircraft industry very hard. It is possible that the Antonov company will present the new An-225 transport aircraft at the famous Le Bourget air show in France, which will be held in June.
