None that I know of, as I was under the impression that SR-71 Blackbird was the absolute record breaker in speed altitude and distance records.

I mean, that plane can almost reach outer space.

Yes the A-12 beat the sr71 in speed and altitude but traded range and load capacity

Great question I was thinking that the SR-71 held the records but I don’t know about the A-12.

I worked on the A-4 ( that isn’t even close I know) I use to think I knew a little about planes. Many moons ago.

stound

in terms of what? the a12 is a good contender

Modified Mig-25...or the X-15

@OnePatheticClown The X15 and it's predecessors were more rockets than planes and their range was very short, plus they couldn't take off on their own. The Mig 25 was never proven to beat the SR-71 though the Russians boasted it could but it had very limited range at speeds exceeding 2.5 Mach. The SR-71's top speed is still classified though it was know to exceed Mach 3 and had a range exceeding 5,000 Km's. The A-12 is probably the only limited productions plane that could exceed the speed of the SR-71
