Lightning in the Sky: The Fastest Fighter Jets in the World

In October of 1947, Captain Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager successfully broke the sound barrier for the first time. He flew over Rogers Dry Lake near Muroc Army Airfield (which was later renamed Edwards AFB in 1950) at 45,000 feet. Yeager zoomed over 700 mph, and a great sonic boom rang out across the Mojave Desert. Since this historical aeronautical event, countless others have accelerated past the speed of sound, and we continue to develop faster fighter jets.
