This is a complicated question.

Saddam Hussein once told his advisors that he wanted to send all of his fighter aircraft (MiGs) to bomb Israel with sarin gas. All of them said "Allah is great! You will succeed!"

One of them basically called Saddam an idiot and informed him that all of his fighters would be bombed out of the sky before they ever reached Israeli air space.

It's not because of the armaments on the aircraft but the on-board radar. MiG-21's can "see" about 25 miles. Israeli fighters at that time had over-the-horizon radar and could "see" about 125 miles. In addition, the wing-mount weapons on Israeli fighters could lock in on a target at a range of about 60 miles.

In short, Israeli fighters could "see" the MiGs coming in, fire several missiles at each one and return home before the MiG's were even aware that they were sharing the sky with anyone. The only thing the Iraqi jets would ever "see" is inbound heat-sensing missiles.

(Most journalists just don't get this kind of reasoning, either. They say some of the dumbest things and it never occurs to them to get technical assist. The USA and its allies have the best equipment in the world at the moment, and it's hard to estimate how far behind some countries are because they're too far behind to be comparable, and they're not attempting the networking strategies that we use.)

Depends on your definition of power. The U.S. has the most advanced craft. The person speaking of the Israeli Air Force is right that they have some of the best pilots, but the planes are mostly U.S. F-15s, F-16s @ F/A-18s. The F-22 Raptor is the most technologically advanced fighter in use. But the Su-47 has some great flight capabilities thanks to it's awesome thrust vectoring. (Saw the plane almost turn sideways in level flight without changing direction with minimal loss of speed in the maneuver)

The largest airplane is the Russian An-225 Cossack with a length of 275 feet 7 inches, a wing span of 290 feet, and maximum takeoff weight of 1,322,770 pounds!!

The worldâ€™s largest commercial airliner, is the 555-seat Airbus A380

The fastest Airplane is the American experimental aircraft X-15 with a top speed of mach 6.72

"most powerful" is an attribute that describes aircraft engines, rather than a specific airplane. So the question is a bit vague and you should make it more specific to get a correct answer.

Powerful? well......I would have to say France since they developed The Concord that can fly from Paris to New York in under 3 hrs. Sadly their program was terminated due to an accident a few years back, yet being the only one in history after an stellar career.

im sorry thats classified

Sleepy

U.S.A.

Billy T

The USA we have the new stealth jet fighter raptor jet

Depends on what you mean by powerful. Fighters, bombers, multi-role, sub hunters, tank killers, electronic surveillance...
Off the cuff, I'd have to say that knowledge is power, so the E-3 AWACS (USA)gets my vote.

The US. We had stealth, and a lot of older aircraft that can do the jobs we need done. Many countries use our aircraft.

While the answer is the US, it is because we have the need for them. MAny of the powerfl jets we use in our military have many components designed throughout the world, Europe in particular. Saab, a European manufacturer, is known for very powerful engines used in many jets the US uses. So, yes, it is the US, with some help from allies throughout the world.

jhonathan_w

Yeah we do have some secret stuff...

Juhanah

The Eurofighter Typhoon is the best combat aircraft right now. Its used by Germany, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom air forces.

GRUMPY

I believe that the answer is USA.

justme

anyone with the knowledge to that question either has a security clearance, a badge of some sort,really long fingers in some pie somewhere,owns it,designed it,flies it,gives it ground clearance,dies from it,leaked it on the internet or is now on someones most wanted list.
as for publick records.
i believe the F35 an X35 of USAF have the most powerfull engines sofar,unless someone knows something i dont

Domonican Republic.

all of u,are nothing compared to our aircraft,mabuhay philippines... all of ur aircrafts can fly because its new,but our planes can still fly even its already antique.. our pilots are brave too because they have the guts to fly old planes with risks of falling.your pilots cant risk their lives to fly that....

odira
