Here is a list with the fastest vehicles on the planet:
1. Bike - 132.5 km/h. The fastest bike on the planet is called "Varna Diablo 3". Sam Whittingham, who is part of the cycling team of Canada, reached 132.5 km / h, on September 18, 2008, on a highway in Nevada. He is the grandson of the person who made the first film screenplay for James Bond series.
2. Boat - 511 km/h. The record is maintained since October 8, 1978, when Australian Ken Warby managed to reach speeds of 511 km / h at the command ship "Spirit of Australia", on lake Blowering Dam in New South Wales, Australia. Powered by a Westinghouse engine, created in the late 40's for fighter aircraft, the vessel is now on display at the National Marine Museum of Australia, in Sydney.
3. Motorcycle - 580.333 km/h. Last year, in the Bonneville Salt Flats desert, Utah (USA), Rocky Robinson was able to reach with his motorcycle named "Ack Attack" speed of 580.833 kilometers per hour. The machine, although it does not look like we are used, has the characteristics of a motorcycle: walking on two wheels and is powered by two Suzuki engines with a total capacity of 2,600 cubic centimeters.
4. Train - 581km/h. As far as trains go there are two records. Of the classic wheels, the fastest is the French TGV, which went, in 2007, with 574.8 km / h. But the record was demolished by the levitating train (Maglev), which operates as follows: magnetic coils of the magnets repel the train track, allowing him to rise between 1 and 10 centimeters above the track. The Japanese Maglev train went in 2003 with a speed of 581 km / h on a line of Yamanashi.
5. Rocket - 7274.23 km/h. The fastest rocket piloted by a person is X-15. Launched from a B-52 aircraft, it reached speeds of 7274.23 kilometers per hour, in 1967.
