11 Pilatus PC-21

10 Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing

The Pilatus PC-21, hailed for its raw speed, boasts a remarkable advertised top speed of 685km/h, making it potentially the fastest aircraft featured here. Regrettably, this impressive speed fails to compensate for its subpar handling, as evidenced by its limitation to reach only 351km/h while maintaining a level flight, relying on gravity to attain its maximum velocity. Its sluggish turning capability and even extreme mode do not grant it the agility to execute sharp turns swiftly, preventing it from ascending higher in our ranking, despite its impressive top speed.

Renowned for its stylish exterior, the Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing not only exudes elegance but also delivers remarkable speed, allowing for efficient long-distance travel. However, its distinctive multi-wing design, while captivating in flight, can prove to be a hindrance when it comes to quick maneuvers and abrupt changes in direction.

9 Granville Brothers Aircraft Gee Bee R-1

The Gee Bee R-1 is a remarkable vehicle in terms of its speed and handling abilities while also boasting one of the most distinctive aircraft designs. With a top speed of 240km/h and remarkably sharp turns in comparison to the Staggerwing, it does encounter some challenges when executing tight maneuvers without utilizing extreme mode. However, with skillful utilization of extreme mode, it can successfully overcome this limitation without significant speed loss.

8 WACO Aircraft Corp. YMF-5D Super

For those in search of a highly agile biplane, look no further than the YMF-5D Super. Outperforming the Staggerwing in terms of turning speeds and overall agility, this aircraft is the epitome of maneuverability. With an impressive top speed of 344km/h and a comfortable cruising speed of 238km/h, this biplane is perfect for players who prioritize both style and performance.

7 Harmon Rocket HR III

6 Extra 330 SC

Introducing the Harmon Rocket HR III, a high-performance aircraft that excels in its ability to execute sharp turns. To fully unleash its potential, players are advised to engage the extreme mode, enabling the Rocket to maneuver with exceptional agility. Although initially challenging to navigate without extreme mode, once players become familiar with it, the Rocket proves to be remarkably responsive. For those willing to invest time and effort into mastering the aircraft and harnessing the power of extreme mode, the Harmon Rocket HR III offers a truly exhilarating flying experience.

The Extra 330 SC, manufactured by Extra Aerobatic Planes, is a highly versatile aircraft that excels in various events. It offers exceptional agility and a maximum speed of 380km/h. However, in practical terms, it typically reaches a top speed of around 230km/h when maintaining level flight, relying on the assistance of gravity to achieve its maximum velocity. The Extra 330 SC effortlessly executes sharp turns and performs most maneuvers with ease. However, it may encounter difficulties in generating upward momentum due to its lightweight construction. Additionally, it may face challenges in handling strong winds, particularly during specific events featured in the Ocean 'n Sky playlist.

5 Grumman 8F Bearcat

4 Supermarine Spitfire MK IX

With an ideal combination of speed and agility, the Grumman 8F Bearcat is a remarkable option for players seeking a swift aircraft that does not compromise on its lightness or maneuverability. Its impressive turning ability is paired with a cruising speed of 248km/h when flying level.

The Supermarine Spitfire MK IX is known for its fast and agile performance, albeit being quite heavy. It may not be as maneuverable as its predecessor, but it compensates for it by offering exceptional speed and the ability to execute sharp turns when utilizing extreme mode. This makes it an ideal choice for air events, particularly for players who are willing to trade some maneuverability for an abundance of speed. When flying at a level position, it can reach a comfortable speed of 246km/h, and it is capable of achieving even higher speeds when descending.

3 Northrop Grumman F4U Corsair

2 Zivko Edge 540 V3

offers a remarkable blend of power and agility, making it a superior choice among larger aircraft. Its exceptional performance is showcased across a variety of events, proving its capabilities. To gain firsthand experience with this magnificent plane, players have the chance to put it to the test during the thrilling Hawaii Scenic Tour playlist, where it surpasses expectations. It effortlessly maintains a cruising speed of 240km/h in level flight, all while showcasing its remarkable maneuverability through sharp turns in extreme mode.

The Zivko Edge 540 V3 is an incredibly maneuverable vehicle, making it the ideal option for events that involve tight turns. With a maximum speed of 229km/h in level flight, it is renowned as an exceptional stunt plane, thanks to its superb handling capabilities.

1 Slick 360HP

The Slick 360 HP (Slick Aircraft) is an exceptional and well-balanced aircraft that outperforms in various aerial events. With a top speed of 418km/h and remarkable maneuverability, it is an excellent choice for most events. Although it may be more affected by strong winds compared to other vehicles on this list, its speed and agility more than compensate for this. When flying level with the ground, it typically reaches a top speed of 225km/h and relies on gravity to achieve its advertised top speed.
