Since the purpose of using aviation is not uniform, it would not be correct to name only one. We divide the concept of “best” into several categories: safe, expensive, fast and effective.
The best passenger aircraft
The Boeing 747 can easily be called the best passenger aircraft in history. This is not the safest, however, it is one of the most used and popular aircraft that still covers the airspace. Main features of the aircraft:
- It appeared back in 1969 and became the first to take flights to long-distance routes.
- More than 1.5 thousand copies have already been released.
- Cost - 260 million dollars.
- A distinctive feature is the “hump” of the upper deck.
But the Boeing 777, or as it is also called “Three Sevens,” as if, in accordance with its lucky name, is recognized as the safest aircraft in the world. Unfortunately, such a plane did crash in Ukraine in 2014, however, the fault was not in its design. This is a wide-body aircraft, the main features of which are:
- The longest flight in the air is 21,601 km of distance covered.
- Equipped with the world's most powerful General Electric GE90 jet engines.
- Costs about $300 million.
- Accommodates up to 550 passengers.
- Not a single passenger of the 3 Sevens died on board.
The most expensive planes in the world
Officially, the most expensive private jet is the Airbus A380, which rests in the Prince's hangar. Saudi Arabia Al-Walid bin Talal. This is a few controversial issue, since there are rumors about the cost of the Boeing 767 bought and converted by Abramovich, but let’s trust the facts.
The main characteristics of the expensive plane in the world:
- its cost is over half a million dollars;
- only 15-20 people can fit on board;
- this is a real house on wings: there are bedrooms, a bathhouse, GYM's, banquet rooms, etc.;
- the maximum distance covered is 15.4 thousand km.
- From these facts it is difficult to guess that this is also the most economical aircraft of similar size. Moreover, it is one of the most major representatives passenger carriers.
The most expensive military aircraft in the world
But the most expensive aircraft in the world is not a passenger aircraft - it is a bomber manufactured using stealth technologies. There are 20 of these in the world and all of them are in service with the United States. The main reason for creating the B-2 Spirit was Cold War, and if it had not ended, there would have been more than a hundred such deadly carriers of nuclear and simple weapons, as you see in the photo above. The unit cost is 2.1 billion dollars! Each plane is named after some geographical feature, and the first is called the Spirit of America.
The fastest plane in the world
The best planes can't help but fly fast. Of course, production samples will not soon reach record speeds, but individual experimental cases prove that humanity can do anything. Thus, developed in the USA, the X-15 rocket plane was able to reach a speed of 7272 km/h, piloted by Joe Walker. The active flight that day in 1963 was only 85.8 seconds, but this was enough to reach an altitude of more than 107 km. The main task of this super-high-speed rocket is to study the capabilities of winged vehicles on the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere and space.
Also owned by American developers is the X-43A, developed by NASA specialists. The maximum speed achieved by this drone is 11,200 km/h, which is this moment is the official record. It was possible to achieve such indicators only the third time. During the attempts, 2 planes sank in Pacific Ocean to avoid collision with land.
The best military aircraft
The legend of the USSR, still in service in Russia, Kazakhstan and China, is the MiG-31. It is not always included in ratings of the best fighters, however, it is one of those models that has proven itself in practice, and not in theory. Main features of a supersonic interceptor:
- flight range - from 2.2 to 2.48 km;
- capable of intercepting missiles;
- the only fighter that independently uses missiles that have a long range;
- equally effective in any weather conditions and time of day.
Interestingly, 4 such interceptors are enough to control the air over a distance of 900 km. This device was used initially for testing, later for combat duty near Sakhalin Island and for combat purposes during Chechen war. More than 500 units have been produced so far.
A real threat to others aircraft creates the European fighter Eurofighter Typhoon, or Typhoon. Its main disadvantage is its helplessness in attacking terrestrial targets, however, as regards air protection, it is by far the best device for achieving such strategic objectives. The cost of eliminating air threats is $120 million and is currently equipping the air forces of England, Germany, Spain and Italy, Austria, Saudi Arabia and Oman. The high cost, in comparison with other fourth-class fighters, is associated with the use of radio-absorbing materials in the design.
Military experts are constantly debating which aircraft is better: the Typhoon or the Russian Su-35? In order not to offend either of these two masterpieces of aircraft construction, the Russian super-maneuverable crew is also included in the rating the best aircraft. Its advantage over the European fighter is its universal application: the Su-35 is ready to protect both the air and the ground. Plus its turbo jet engine allows you to reach supersonic speeds without using afterburner, which theoretically allows you to write this device into the fifth generation. A total of 34 such fighters were produced. A very strong advantage of the presented lethal work of art is its maneuverability - vector engines literally allow the Su-35 to dance in the air, gliding and rotating in one place.
- This is the only fifth-generation fighter in service (US Air Force).
- This is the most expensive military aircraft - almost more than 146 million dollars.
- Flies at supersonic speeds.
- Covered with radio-absorbing materials.
- Universal.
The leader of our rating was used in battle only once, in Syria. Around sole representative fifth generation there are many rumors about its high cost, low adaptability to bad weather conditions, but there is no actual evidence of this.
The most modern fighters in the world
10. J-10 (China)
The J-10 uses a "tailless delta canard" aerodynamic configuration that was originally developed for the J-9 fighter.
The horizontal rudder is moved forward and is located in front of the wing. When the aircraft needs to be pointed upward, rather than forcing the tail down, this arrangement raises the nose, increasing overall responsiveness and climb speed.
In this arrangement, the aircraft controls vertical control more effectively with a smaller elevator surface, resulting in less air resistance and lighter weight.
The aircraft uses variable, variable airflow that supplies air to a single AL-31FN turbofan jet engine.
The air intake ramp is located at an acute angle to deflect the air flow in the longitudinal direction. This design creates a gap between the air intake and the forward fuselage, which improves performance at high speeds.
This air intake design was reportedly used on the latest J-10B.
The tailless delta canard design is inherently aerodynamically unstable, especially at supersonic speeds.
To ensure sustainability, there is a sophisticated computerized control system (FBW). J-10 uses digital system quadruplex (four FBW channels), developed by the 611 Institute. Software for the FBW system it was also developed by the 611 Institute for the use of the ADA language. The pilot is located in the cockpit, which is located above the air intake and in front of the front stabilizers.
The pilot's on-board digital flight control computer provides automatic coordination of flight stability. Thus, it allows the pilot to concentrate on combat missions.
The two-seat J-10S can be used for pilot training or as a standard fighter.

It's no secret that airplanes are the most... quick look transport. Some of them are capable of reaching speeds of up to 1,500 kilometers per hour. At the same time, speed is a decisive factor in the military industry. For this reason, we will look at the fastest fighter jets in the world. It's about about unique developments characterized by instant response and amazing maneuverability. For the latest fighters the line of 2000 kilometers per hour is far from the limit. At the same time, many countries allocate huge amounts of money for weapons, which affects the emergence of unique analogues listed below.
The ranking of the fastest fighters opens with Dassault Rafale. This flying machine performs a huge range of tasks. The mission of the aircraft includes overcoming not only close but also long distances. Raphael is equipped with many powerful weapons, designed to deliver high-precision strikes against ground targets. At high altitude its speed is Mach 1.8 or 1,900 kilometers per hour. The fighter was developed by the French Navy back in 2004. But to this day, fighter jets, of which there are only 145 units in the world, are considered one of the fastest.
The full name of the Saab JAS 39 Gripen fighter. Unique air vehicle was developed by a Swedish company called SAAB. The fighter was first introduced into service in 1997. The Swedish Air Force modified the model several times. Currently, the maximum weapon opening speed is 2200 km/h or Mach 2.0. During production, about 270 aircraft were created. At the same time, 204 units are still functioning to ensure the security of Sweden.
The military aircraft is one of the fastest in India and the world. Speed 2.3 Mach. This vehicle can land even on unprepared airfields and sea vessels. It has good maneuverability. In total, approximately 1,500 of these aircraft were produced, due to their endurance and wear resistance. The fighter can conduct a long, active battle without losing speed and sharpness. It is worth noting that Indian manufacturers have achieved high achievements in the invention of air vehicles. Every year they release great amount aircraft, many of which are used in the military industry around the world.
As already stated, India is one of the leading countries in the field of invention military equipment. Probably, attempts to modify the MiG-29 led to the creation of another one of the fastest fighters on the planet - the MiG-23. Speed vehicle at high altitude it is 2,445 km/h. We are talking about a multi-role fighter, which in the 80s took part in all known armed confrontations. The aircraft is currently in service with Syria, Libya and even India.
A representative of the German armed forces, the Typhoon entered production in 2003. The maximum speed of the fighter reaches Mach 2.0 or 2450 km/h. It is worth noting that this is an invisible aircraft, that is, Stealth. Most of The body of this ground transport is made of a special coating that blocks electromagnetic waves. At the same time, the combat radius of the fighter is 1390 km. Amazing results. The multi-role aircraft is also used in the UK and Italy. There are approximately five hundred such fighters in the world.
Fifth place goes to the Soviet military vessel Su-27. The fourth generation Soviet multi-role all-weather fighter, designed to gain air superiority, was designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau in 1977. In 1985, the aircraft entered service with the USSR Air Force. It is now in service with the Russian Air Force as the main fighter aircraft. Modifications of the Su-27 are in service with China, Ukraine, India and other countries. The maximum speed the aircraft is capable of is 2876.4 km/h (Mach 2.35). In total, about 809 of these air units were produced.
The fastest fighters on the planet include the Grumman F-14, whose speed reaches 2,485 kilometers per hour. The unique aircraft was developed by specialists from Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation. The first analogue appeared in 2006. At the moment, active deliveries of aircraft are underway to Iran, where the fighter is in service. We are talking about a reliable interceptor that can accompany 4 targets at once. Moreover, it can simultaneously capture up to 6 targets. The existence of 712 fighters is known.
The speed of this aircraft is 2,650 km/h. The development was presented by specialists from the USA. The aircraft is an impeccable leader in its class, as it has excellent maneuverability. The tactical fighter appeared in 1976. Moreover, its production is planned until 2025 for American weapons. Every year, employees of leading companies add innovations that improve the reaction and maneuvers of the aircraft. In total, 1,500 such products are known to exist. All are in the USA.
The most fast fighter in the world The MiG-31 is considered to have a speed of 3000 kilometers per hour. By the name, you already guessed that it belongs to the property of Russia. Attracts with its extensive possibilities. The fighter is capable of intercepting targets and destroying enemy objects at high, low and medium altitudes. Also detects false thermal targets. First appeared in 1981. Needless to say, it has undergone a lot of modernization since then. Maximum speed develops at an altitude of 25 kilometers.
"Hot Ten" of the best fighters in the world, which included american planes F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-35 Lightning II and F-22 Raptor, Russian MiG-35, Su-30 MK, Su-35, PAK-FA, European Eurofighter Typhoon, JAS 39 Gripen and Dassault Rafale were determined according to the following parameters: speed and maneuverability, level of stealth, weapons system installed on board, cost of production and maintenance.
10. F-16 Fighting Falcon (“Attack Falcon”)- American multirole light fighter of the fourth generation. Developed in 1974 by General Dynamics. Put into operation in 1979. The F-16, due to its versatility and relatively low cost, is the most popular fourth-generation fighter (over 4,540 aircraft were built as of June 2014).
9. Saab JAS 39 Gripen- Swedish fourth-generation multi-role fighter aircraft developed by Saab Avionics. Since 1997 it has been in service with the Swedish Air Force. Operated by the Air Forces of Hungary, the Czech Republic, South Africa and Thailand. The aircraft is designed according to the “Duck” aerodynamic configuration with a mid-mounted delta wing. The airframe of the aircraft was created taking into account the reduction of radar signature: 30% of the body is made of composites, 2 S-shaped air intakes.
8. MiG-35- Russian multirole fighter of the 4++ generation, developed by RSK MiG. The MiG-35 is designed to destroy ground, air and surface targets at night and during the day in difficult as well as simple weather conditions with passive and active electronic countermeasures from the enemy.
7. F-35 Lightning II (“Lightning”)- an American stealth fighter-bomber of the fifth generation, developed by the American company Lockheed Martin in three versions: a ground-based fighter, a fighter with a short take-off and vertical landing, and a carrier-based fighter.
6. Eurofighter Typhoon (“Typhoon”)- European multi-role fighter of the fourth generation, developed by Eurofighter GmbH. The aircraft was put into service with the air forces of Germany, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Austria and Saudi Arabia.
5. Dassault Rafale (“Squall”)- French multi-role fighter of the fourth generation, developed by the French company Dassault Aviation. It is in service with the French Navy and Air Force.
4. Su-30 MK- Russian multi-role fighter of the 4+ generation, developed at the Sukhoi Design Bureau. The fighter is designed to gain air superiority, destroy air targets day and night, in simple and complex meteorological conditions, as well as in the use of active and passive interference and airspace control.
3. Su-35- Russian multi-role super-maneuverable fighter of the 4++ generation with thrust vector control engines, developed at the Sukhoi Design Bureau. Experts consider the Su-35 “very dangerous” for any NATO aircraft except the F-22 stealth fighter. The danger of the Su-35 is associated with the ability to carry a large ammunition load of long-range air-to-air missiles, the ability to launch missiles at supersonic speed, super-maneuverability and powerful electronic warfare systems.
2. F-22 Raptor (“Predator”) is an American fifth-generation multirole fighter developed by Lockheed Martin, Boeing and General Dynamics. The F-22 is the first fifth-generation fighter to enter service. Designed to gain air superiority. The fighter contains latest developments in the field of avionics, electronics and stealth.
1. Su PAK-FA T-50 is a fifth-generation Russian multi-role fighter developed by a division of the United Aircraft Corporation - Sukhoi Design Bureau. The fighter has the highest characteristics: high speed, powerful engine, super maneuverability, stealth and very dangerous weapons.
From the first steps of mankind in conquering the sky, the world has constantly observed the evolution military aviation. Fighters have always come to the rescue in military and local conflicts, performing complex operations. Today, this type of aircraft has reached incredible levels of development. high point progress. Nowadays, no one can be surprised by the ability of a person to stay in air element, but the high technology, colossal combat equipment of combat fighters and the mass of opportunities that open up before them really amaze the mind and excite the imagination. The wealth of power and variety of these combat vehicles encourages the creation rating of the best fighters in the world.
10. Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet
Opens the top 10 best Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighters. It is in service with the US Army and is a carrier-based fighter-bomber and attack aircraft. Combat vehicles of this type are very popular for placement on aircraft carriers. This fighter is equipped with a 6-barreled cannon that is capable of firing at a rate of 6,000 rounds per minute. Nine external mounts allow the aircraft to be equipped with a wide range of different weapons, including: missiles - simple and laser-guided, many types of bombs, as well as weapons that allow effective fight against enemy ships, and a system that prevents the aircraft from being tracked on radar.
9. Saab JAS 39 Gripen
The Swedish army has been in service with the Saab JAS 39 Gripen combat fighter for thirty years now, which ranks 9th in our ranking. Its first demonstration flight took place in 1988. Today this fighting machine equipped with one of best technologies peace. The fourth generation fighter was created specifically for effective combat operations in the Scandinavian terrain - limited plains and harsh weather. The armament of the Saab JAS 39 Gripen is: 30 mm cannon, Various types bombs (depending on need), several types of missiles (guided and unguided).
8. MIG-35
Russian military genius air weapons– MIG-35 fighter. This aircraft is planned to be put into service only this year (2018), but it has already established itself as one of the best fighters, although it has not yet shown itself in combat. The MIG-35 surpassed its predecessor in many respects. Thus, this fighter consumes less fuel, the oxygen station produces more oxygen, and the duration of the autopilot during aiming is extended so that the pilot has more ability to accurately fire at the enemy. Among other things, Russian engineers managed to reduce the cost of producing a fighter; for comparison, the French side spends 2–3 times on creating aircraft of this type more funds.
7. F-16 Fighting Falcon
The seventh place in the fighter rating is occupied by the American F-16 Fighting Falcon. At one time, this combat vehicle was a leader among the most popular in the world - the low cost of its production and high quality characteristics allowed US military factories to produce these vehicles in large quantities for export to other countries. There are currently over 4,700 F-16 Fighting Falcons worldwide. These combat vehicles have proven themselves in more than a hundred combat operations around the world.
6. Eurofighter Typhoon
The Eurofighter Typhoon combat fighter is the brainchild of four EU countries, which has proven its effectiveness in real armed conflicts. One of the main advantages of this aircraft is the ability to interfere with enemy radars, which allows for flight adjustments guided missiles. This, first of all, influenced the fact that the Eurofighter Typhoon became very “survivable” - getting into a fighter with such a system is quite difficult. The Typhoon also surpasses its counterparts in firing range (by as much as 100 km). Today there are about five hundred such fighters in the world, and each combat vehicle is manufactured using unique technology.
5. Dassault Rafale
The list of the most powerful fighters also included the pride of the French armed forces - the Dassault Rafale. The creators claim that the only factor that hinders the incredible rise of this combat vehicle is its high cost. The Dassault Rafale has been in service with the French army for 50 years; it has shown itself excellently in armed conflicts several times. However, today this fighter is used only for training and demonstration flights. Also, its name often appeared in plane crashes, but the French side claimed each time that the reason for this was human factor.
4. Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II
Another development of the US Air Force was the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, designed to replace outdated aircraft of this generation. The fighter entered service with both the US Navy and ground forces– it is actively used on fleet aircraft carriers due to the short takeoff run during takeoff and braking during landing. Also, the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is capable of vertical takeoff. After the fighter was developed and entered into mass production, it was exported to other countries of the world, the first of which was Great Britain. The aircraft is equipped with advanced electronics and powerful weapons.
3. Su-35S
On the third line of the rating is one of the best Russian fighters. The Su-35S made its first combat flight in 2008. Based on its qualitative characteristics, the fighter can be classified as the 5th generation. US analysts have dubbed the Su-35S the most dangerous and deadly model ever created in the USSR and Russia. Today, some of the characteristics and combat capabilities of the fighter are kept in the strictest secrecy by the armed forces, so it is not yet possible to fully assess its combat potential.
2. Su-57
A completely new achievement of the domestic military industry is the Su-57. The fifth generation fighter is recognized by domestic designers as the best fighter of Russian aviation. Today, this combat vehicle is on the same level as the American Raptor. Main feature The Su-57 is capable of fighting several opponents at once, who can be both in the air and on the ground. Currently, designers are working on improved camouflage for the fighter. The aircraft is equipped with world-leading electronics and incredibly lethal weapons.
1. Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor
On the first line of the rating " best fighters World" is the American Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. In fact, it shares the palm with the Russian Su-57. Raptor is a 5th generation fighter, presented to the public in the second half of 1990. It is capable of performing many purposes and combat missions. At the moment, the Raptor is recognized as an advanced development by American designers in this area. Among the advantages of the combat vehicle is complete invisibility from enemy radars. The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is characterized as a fighter with high maneuverability, low fuel consumption and a relatively low weight. Only two cases of loss of these fighters in combat operations have been recorded.
