High-Speed Military Prototypes and Reconnaissance Aircraft

Prototypes and special aircraft built for very high speed and altitude, including Mach 3 reconnaissance aircraft and the bomber, interceptor and fighter prototypes of the Cold War. An entry belongs here when the cited article names a Mach 3 reconnaissance aircraft, interceptor prototype or high-speed military prototype. It excludes production fighters and rocket research aircraft. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
