Top 3 Faster Airplanes in World

Top 3 Faster Airplanes in World

At this topic, we will talk about the faster airplanes in the world. Well, we have checked a lot of things about them, thus we discovered. Then take a look on the third place:

The third place, but not the least, goes to X-15:

This is the X-15 departing

The X-15 was made from United States of America, in 1959. And well, he was destined to be the airplane who makes the pilots across the border between the airplane's pilot and astronaut, because it can reach the altitude of 80 km, thus qualifying the pilots for astronaut status.  Without saying that It's maximum speed was 7,274 km/h. As of 2013, the X-15 holds the official world record for the fastest speed ever reached by a manned aircraft. So, it set speed and altitude records in the early 1960s, reaching the edge of outer space and returning with valuable data used in aircraft and spacecraft design. 


For second place we have the incredible X-43A:

The X-43A is an airplane of the space program Hyper-X, and, for sure, the principal airplane of it. The X-43A it's an unmanned plane, projected by NASA, to test the viability of hypersonic flights, that have mach 5.0 or even higher. He measures 3,7m in length, 1,5m in width, and 0,5m in height. Also, he can support a maximum load of 1360 kg. He costs 185 millions of dollars, but, well, he is an awesome airplane, so we think that worth it.



And, the first place goes to the top faster airplane, that is HTV-2:

As far we know, the first place goes to the most faster amazing airplane, that is Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2, or HTV-2. Well, can you imagine how much fast is this? We don't think so, because this plane can reach 21.000 km/h, or mach 20. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been developing this plane, to reach anywhere on earth in 1 hour. Also, the NASA had already made a test, total of 9 minutes of flying, it had been launched by a rocket. But it fells in the middle of pacific ocean.

Top 3 Accidents in World

Top 3 Accidents in World

At this time we are going to talk about the three worst accidents in the world. For the third plane, we had an historical accident in India on 12 November 1996, that happened between two airplanes at Charkhi Dadri. When a Boieng 747 collided with an Ilyushin Il-76, all people over the both boards was killed died. This event makes it the world's dealiest mid-aircollision. The collision happened because an error of the Ilyushin Il-76's crew. Just because of the event Due to the crash, the air-crash investigation report recommended changes to air-traffic procedures and infrastructure in New Delhi's air-space like an installation of a secondary air-traffic control radar for aircraft altitude data. But, by the way the event  was  described like a large cloud lit up with an orange glow. Sad point in history.

For the second place, we have accident in Japan.One 747-100 from JAL (Japan Air Lines) had a tailstrike 7 years earlier the accident, it is normal to happen, but it need repairs, in this case, this tailstrike had affected one important structure, the pressure bulkhead. But when the plane had gone to repair it, it got the wrong repair. And the time was affecting the whole structure. So one time it can´t fly anymore, so affect all the four hydraulic systems and blew off the vertical stabilizer. By this the pilots had a lot of problems to control the airplane. they try to come back to the airport. We know that they can´t arrive there. they fell at Otusaka Ridge.520 people died and 4 people survived.

This is a tailstrike

And the number one it is a crash of two 747-200,on Tenerifre North Airport on Spain both planes were at the runway, one just taxing Pan Am, and the other KLM were waiting for take off.
It was having a intense fog, tha reduce the vision of the pilots. When the control tower were talking with the KLM plane, who started to increase the power to the maximum, but the Pan Am was taxing. The result of the mass, 583 people died an 61 survived jumping to the left wing and running out to scape, but 9 died at the hospital.

Top 3 Air Planes Commercial

   Top 3 Commercial Airplanes

    Well, in the third place is one of the most beautiful planes that I ever flown, It is the:
 
       Boeing 777
Boeing 777 KLM Asia


Well this plane is one of the most technological planes in the world. We did a research about the 777 Family,and lightly loaded this Boeing can accelerate from zero to ninety-six km/h in less than six seconds! More then this,since the first 777 entered at service in June 1995, the airplane has flown almost five million flights and accumulated more than 18 million flight hours. For you become more impressed, look out the specifications of this beautiful. The seating capacity it is 314 to 550 people; it maximum range variety from 9,07 km to 15 km; and for finish, the service ceiling is 13,140 m.



Now, the second position is going to: 

Boeing 747

Boeing 747-8 Flying Test

This plane is the second largest comercial plane. He is the first wide-body and duble deck aricraft ever produced. The Boeing 747 detained for 37 years of most passanger ever flown, because of it, it is known as "the queen of the skies". It seating capacity is 366.600, and the maximum range variety from 9,8 km to 15 km. The required runway for this boeing departue/arrive is 3,090 km to 3,320 km. In Brazil, we are sure that this airplane, at the moment, could arrive and departue in Governador André Franco Montoro, Senador Nilo Coelho, Gilberto Freyre, Antônio Carlos Jobim.


For the first place of Top 3  Airplanes Commercial, goes for...



Airbus A380


Airbus A380 Ready to Departures


Lest's start talking about of the principal topic from our post. This giant plane has enough space to carry approximately 3000 suitcases and 525 passengers. It wings are 54% larger than the wings of a Boeing 747 aircraft. Another interesting information about him, is many believe that A380 is the largest plane in the world, but it is not! There is one more airplane called Antonov An-225, it is larger than A380. It is russian-made aircraft and built for cargo transportation only, so the largest commercial airplane is the A380.
