Developed by Lockheed's Skunk Works, it set Cold War speed records that still stand, and even survived <a href=\\\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/sweden-viggen-saved-sr-71-blackbird-1987-baltic\/\\\">dramatic close calls<\/a> during reconnaissance missions.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What was the first jet fighter?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Germany's Messerschmitt Me 262 was the world's first operational jet fighter, entering combat in 1944 during World War II. Its turbojet engines made it markedly faster than the piston-engined fighters of the era, helping usher in the <a href=\\\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/military-aviation-history-zeppelin-to-sixth-generation\/\\\">jet age of military aviation<\/a>.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How fast can fighter jets fly?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Most modern fighter jets can exceed twice the speed of sound (Mach 2, around 2,400 km\/h). Specialised aircraft fly faster still \u2014 the SR-71 reconnaissance jet topped Mach 3. Sustained high speed generates intense heat and places heavy stress on both the airframe and the pilot.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does Mach number mean?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Mach number expresses speed relative to the speed of sound: Mach 1 is the speed of sound (about 1,235 km\/h at sea level), Mach 2 is twice that, and so on. Fighter jets are often described by their top Mach number, a key measure of performance.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why are many military aircraft painted grey?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Most modern military jets are painted in shades of grey because it makes them harder to see against the sky and at distance, improving stealth and survivability. Earlier camouflage schemes used greens and browns better suited to low-level flying over land.\"}}]}<\/script><!-- \/mf-faq -->\n<!-- mfsh:bottom -->\n\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"mfsh-trigger mfsh-bottom\" data-mfsh-placement=\"bottom\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"><svg><use href=\"#mfsh-i-share\"\/><\/svg>Share this story<\/button>\n\n<!-- \/mfsh:bottom -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know that in the history of military aviation, a lot of interesting events and developments have been made.
