Top 10 Fastest Aircrafts In The World
It was a December morning in 1903 when Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane at Kitty Hawk in North Carolina. It was more than a century ago but it is a day that will never be forgotten! A lot has changed since the 17th day of December after the first flight that lasted 12 seconds and we haven’t looked back! Imagine over the years we have developed our techniques so much that aircrafts can reach a speed of more than Mach 2, isn’t it plain amazing? These machines do all the talking with the skies, leaving us astounded so here’s to them, the fastest aircrafts of today!
