15: A Bigger Butterfly
There might be science fiction film directors in the future that want to take some inspiration from Suchoi PAK-FA. It is one of the most beloved in terms of design and capabilites 5th generation aerial jet fighter.
14: The Shot Through The Air
Black Bullet was desired to be tested by NASA in a special safe tunnel. The speeds developed by this little, but lethal machine caused too great dangers in order for this project to be announced and further developed.
13: Bomb Deliverer
If you see this flying over your house, you will probably lock yourself in the maze. Convair YB-60. This is an experimental bomber which never took a second flight because there were no engines big enough to allow the machine to take flight.
12: Seriously Advanced Stuff
ACCA is an aircraft so strong, and so powerful that in ten years they might be regular airplanes which would not withstand the speeds and pressure that ACCA can.
11: Invisible Birds
This is the most popular and frequently used experimental jet fighter. If you pick F 117 in any video game right now, you consider yourself the winner. It is impossible to be detected by radars. It was developed for 7 years.
10: Star Chaser
Starship is a Star Wars looking aircraft which was worth more than the entire yearly income of some countries nowadays and provides one of the most pleasant flight experiences you can ever dream of.
9: Travelling To Unlimited Distances
This thing is so fast that if it starts from one place when you start drinking your milk it will return before you even pour the milk in the glass. It is called Voyager, it would be very suitable if it was called after the Star Trek ship but it is not. It's much better.
8: The Secret Technology
NASA, Rockwell International and some of the richest, most powerful aircraft companies worldwide joined forces to create this-HiMAT-one of the most successful, and breakthrough experimental planes in history.
7: The German Beast
The German VSTOL is one of the most dangerous experimental planes ever built. The execution of the first and only flight was a hell for its designers and financiers. The two engines on each of the sides are a complete revolution in airplane engineering.
6: The Solar Fighter
Aerial 1 Solar Impulse simply can not look crazier. The name speaks for itself. This is the first airplane that can be automatically powered by the Sun.
5: The Russian Experiment
Su-27 is the model that brought all Su-s aircraft the glory of the finest Russian war aircraft. Su-47 on the other hand, nicknamed The Devil, whose type name consists of 150 letters, is not only the best fighter but arguably the jet fighter with the greatest advances in combat aerial technology.
4: The Wild One
The Grumman X-29 literally and figuratively blows you away. Only two of those are tested per a decade. Its speed and firepower are so destructive that it needs to be commanded by a team of pilots behind computers.
3: Sword Plane
That thing is called Douglas X-3 and it doesn't need rockets to blow you apart. With that shape and angle all it needs is a good speed and it looks like it can dig a hole through almost anything. Only of it was ever built. Quite enough.
2: NASA on Earth
This is what happens when people destined to explore the skies come on Earth. This vehicle (XC-142A) is used to test the capabilities of most aerial air-crafts in modern times. It looks like something that can handle anything.
1: Iron Bird Majesty
X-48 is not an alien ship regardless of its looks. However, it is remotely controlled. In all honesty, this thing is far too awesome to be directly piloted by a human being.
