Some of them are research aircraft, some are military and some are simply flying for reconnaissance purposes. But there is always something special with supersonic aircraft. Just imagine flying at an altitude of 5 kilometres, hearing a \u201cgo\u201d from the radio and pushing that throttle backwards while feeling the 100+kN engine accelerating you to speeds higher than any other life form has ever been seen doing. But you are not the fast one, you are just the passenger. The aircraft that you are flying in, the machine that gives you powers to rise above the clouds in mere minutes is the true masterpiece. The masterpiece of military engineering.

This speed resulted in the frame of the aircraft being heated up to as much as 330\u00b0C in some areas. The extreme speed was needed for two reasons: 1: To accelerate away from Soviet interceptors and 2: To be able to escape the blast of the nuclear bombs that it was capable of dropping. The big size (weight) was needed to carry the fuel needed for the 6,900-kilometre flight into the Soviet Union and escape without refuelling and to house the 14 nuclear bombs that it was capable of carrying. The aircraft had its first flight in 1964 and is now retired, only two were built.<\/p>\r\n<iframe hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Rd0mSLv7zoA\" title=\"Discovery Channel   Wings   North American Xb 70 Valkyrie\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Rd0mSLv7zoA?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-opt-id=180239324  data-opt-src=\"http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/a\/ae\/X-2_on_ramp_with_B-50_mothership_and_support_crew.jpg\/640px-X-2_on_ramp_with_B-50_mothership_and_support_crew.jpg\"  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"305\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">X-2 Starbuster together with its crew<\/p><\/div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>Number 5: Bell X-2 Starbuster.<\/em><\/strong> The Starbuster was an American research aircraft which had its first flight in 1955 and was retired in 1956.

It did, as can be understood, not carry any weapons and featured a back-swept wing which made it have little air-resistance and was by that able to achieve the stunning speed of Mach 3.196 in 1956. However soon after this speed was attained the pilot, Milburn G. Apt, made a sharp turn and the aircraft tumbled out of control. He could not regain control of the aircraft and bailed out. Unfortunately, only the small parachute of the escape shuttle was opened and he hit the ground with too high speed.
