While watching top gear and yet another `car races aircraft` scenario I wondered if there are any stats on aircraft ground speeds?
If so would anyone like to challenge what aircraft has the best 0-60 speed?
This could be quite an interesting question. I’m betting the fastest aircraft may not necessarilly be the fastest of the blocks i.e. SR71, Concorde. Possibly an aerobatic or stol aircraft?

For a standing start, could be the Me163 Komet:eek:

I have never seen any such figures quoted, they’d be pretty pointless.
Of more interest to pilots are take off distance and stall speed.
My best guess would be F18 off a carrier 😉
