No. 1 Falcon HTV-2

Speed: 13,000 mph

The Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 is currently the fastest jet in the world. It was first launched in April 2010. The second flight was made a year later, in August, 2011. It was designed for the purpose of responding to terrorist attacks in just a matter of a few minutes. The Falcon HTV-2 is an unmanned aircraft, and no human will ever have that experience of flying it.
