Superfast Jets The revolutionary jet engine enabled planes to travel faster, higher and farther than ever before. Check out some superlatives in jet plane design: the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, officially the fastest jet; the biggest the Antonov An-225, Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8; and highest flyer a MiG E-25 piloted by Alexander Fedotov. Weird stealth machines and jet aerobatics are not to be missed, either... FLIGHT looks at the world s most exciting aircraft, emphasizing the latest trends, from the revolutionary jet to VTOL aircraft. Included are record-breakers, future designs, timelines and data on speed, size and agility. Superb photography shows key machines in action, while crystal-clear text and diagrams explain their workings and special features.
