Although this list is not definitive as technology is evolving on a daily basis. These aircraft were developed mainly to be a part of some military project and technology has made the skies see some rapid vehicles flying past the clouds. Here let us just have a look at some fastest (well may not be the fastest) aircraft being built in the world.
