13. The fastest computer
Although this record will most likely be broken by the time you read this article, the Milky Way-2 in China is the fastest computer in the world.
12. The fastest submarine
It is difficult to register records in such things, since information about submarines is usually kept secret. However, according to some estimates, the highest speed was developed by the Soviet submarine K-162 in 1969. The speed was about 44 knots.
11. The fastest helicopter
In July 2010, Sikorsky X2 set a new speed record over West Palm Beach - 415 kilometers per hour.

2. Highest speed
Technically, the fastest speed in the universe is the speed of light. However, there are several caveats that lead us to the first point ...
1. The fastest elementary particle
Despite the fact that this is a controversial statement, scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research recently conducted experiments in which mu-meson neutrinos covered the distance between Geneva, Switzerland and Gran Sasso, Italy several nanoseconds faster than light. However, at the moment, the photon is still considered the king of speed.
The connection between supercars and high-speed executive boats underlines the fact that two years ago, Cigarette jointly with Mercedes released a “black series”: the Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series presented it on earth, and the Cigarette Black Series Marauder 50 on the water. However, the dark side of the Cigarette is in blood. In the 1920s and 1930s, bootleggers in America transported their goods not only by land, but also by water. To remain elusive, the bandits had to make their boats more powerful. Then the dirty business came to naught, but the boats remained. The Cigarette name is a tribute to one of those gangster boats that bore the exact same name. Marauder ("robber") - in turn, a reminder of those bad guys.
Speaking of bad guys, founder Don Aronov, 192-time (and not a typo) winner of the 176-mile race from Long Beach to Mexico's Ensenada Bay, was shot dead in 1987 under mysterious circumstances. But, although Don died, his work lives on. At one time, it was Aronov who laid the foundation for the cooperation between Cigarette and the legendary manufacturer of Mercury motors.
A pair of Mercury stands on the 50 Marauder SS. The total power of these engines is 2700 hp. sec., which is enough for a 15.4-meter boat to take off above the water at full speed. Its maximum speed is indicated as 120+ mph (that is, "over 193 km / h", and then - as luck would have it). Ten lovers of boat trips can be lucky at the same time - that is how many seats are on the Marauder SS. The luckiest ones are invited to stay in the bow of the boat, where there is a salon with a double bed.
It is not inferior to the Marauder SS either in size or in power. The Monster 50 is also one of those boats that will be very crowded in the port, but for this it will repay with complete freedom in open water. In the captain's chair, 20 instrument dials, 18 information lamps, 6 control knobs and 5 pairs of passengers' eyes will be directed at you. Unleash 2,700 horses from his twin Mercury 1350s and 10 pupils will dilate with crazy acceleration. Why would a "monster" have such a long nose? It is in it that a rest room with two sofas, a bedroom, a toilet and all the equipment that the buyer wants to see there fit in - each boat is built for the customer and is equipped based on his wishes and capabilities. But, no matter how he shrinks, the price will not fall below half a million dollars.
There are many catamarans among the boats of this class, as their width improves stability at high speeds, but the classics are still V-hull boats, and in our review you will find only them and only in the king size over 40 feet. The Nor-Tech 5000, for example, stretches 51.9 feet - nearly 16 meters. To match the size and power - three Nor-Tech engines of 1000 hp. from. each. As a result, the boat picks up speed around 170 km / h without any problems, but at the same time, what is important, it remains not too demanding on fuel - it runs on 98th gasoline.
If bandits drove Cigarette at one time, then Donzi - cops, albeit television (heroes of the series and the movie "Miami Police: Department of Morals"). The 43 is the largest in the range (13.1 meters), and if you think water is made to interfere with burning, the Donzi 43 ZR has 2,700 horsepower arguments to prove you otherwise. Take five passengers and just watch the speedometer arrow go to the right and the fuel arrow go to the left. The tanks are here for 1,890 liters, but that's enough for just a few hours of the race. In the bow of the boat there is a sleeping area and a recreation area, which can be stuffed with any audio and video equipment. And it doesn't matter that because of this the boat will become a little heavier and a couple of tenths of a second slower, but with such "inner peace" it will please not only the "department of morals", but also the "rescuers of Malibu".
As a rule, the number in the name of boats of this class indicates the length in feet. The 47 Lightning is slightly shorter than the first two participants in our review at 14.3 meters. Against their background, the rest of its characteristics may seem rather modest to you: 1400 horsepower per 6300 kg of weight. But this is just the case when the main thing is not the size and quantity of "forces", but the ability to use them. The Fountain shipyard is one of the oldest manufacturers of high-speed executive boats (they have been in this business since 1972) and prides themselves on building their boats from start to finish, not even trusting third-party interior trimming (however, naturally, such units as the engine, they come already assembled and, as you already guessed, mainly from the Mercury company). Bottom line: the recognized reference handling and acceleration to the frightening mark of 150 km / h. In addition to the motors, the 2.74-meter wide body contains a place for a living room with a sofa bed, a bedroom, a shower and a toilet.
The Sunsation feature is the paintwork by renowned customizers from Mitcher T. This 13.1-meter boat has everything on board, including a shower, refrigerator and microwave. You can put a sandwich in it, set the timer for 20 seconds and press full throttle. When the stove beeps, your F-4 will just change the second hundred km / h. If you want more data on acceleration, here it is: from 50 to 80 km / h the boat accelerates in 5.7 seconds, and from 65 to 95 in 6.5. In other words, you will always have enough traction in reserve to disrupt those 6 tons in an impressive dash and push the passengers even more into the seats. The Sunsation F-4 has a maximum speed of 160 km / h. Do you see the horizon line? You go there.
10) Submarine K-222
The fastest submarine in the world
Maximum speed (Km-h / Kn-knot): 82 km / h / 44.7 knots
At one time, this boat was recognized as the best in the world for its military characteristics. This is the only submarine in its class in the world. The boat's hull is made entirely of titanium. The reactor power is 177 megawatts (80 thousand hp), which is achieved by steam turbines. A two-in-one combination, low weight and great power. This boat can accommodate (accommodate) up to 82 sailors, up to 10 pieces of SS-N-7 "StarBright" anti-ship missiles, 12 pieces of 533 mm torpedoes and accelerates to a speed of 82 km / h (44 knots).
9) HCMS Bras D'Or 400
The fastest warship
Maximum speed (Km-h / Kn-knot): 115 km / h / 63 knots
This experimental Canadian hydrofoil still holds the title of the world's fastest warship. The vessel is equipped with two gas turbine engines Pratt & Whitney.
To our deep regret, this project was canceled in 1971. The only built copy of the ship is currently in the Maritime Museum in Quebec.
8) Vestas Sailrocket 2
The world's fastest sailing ship
Maximum speed (Km-h / Kn-knot): 120 km.h /65.45 knots.
120 kilometers per hour in principle seems a little. But .. And if this speed through the water, then it's a completely different matter, it's just stunning speed. Sailrocket 2 is not only a very fast sailing vessel, it is vehicle set a world speed record in its class of boats.
7) World Is Not Enough
The most fast yacht
Maximum speed (Km-h / Kn-knot): 129 km / h / 69.5 knots
We are not sure that anyone will ever need to move on a yacht at such a wild speed for a boat. Nevertheless, we are happy for such a miracle of marine technology that exists today on our land.
6) Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept
The fastest electric boat in the world
The engine of the vessel uses Lycoming turbines, which allows the catamaran to develop a power of 9000 hp.
3) "Problem Child" Top Fuel Hydro
The fastest seaplane in the world (today)
Maximum speed (Km-h / Kn-knot): 421 km.h / 228 knots
Seaplane Top Fuel "Problem Child" (translated as "Problem Child") was created as a seaplane, which can reach its prohibitive speed for the water surface.
The marine "dragster2" is equipped with a Hemi V8 engine with an output of 8000 hp.
2) Bluebird K7
The fastest seaplane ever built by man
Maximum speed (Km-h / Kn-knot): 444 km.h / 228 knots
The K7 seaplane was the first crazy floating craft to use turbocharged motors from seaplanes. Thanks to them, the boat set 7 world records in water speed (from 1955 to 1964). The last record of the ship is a shocking speed for all - 444 km / h.
Unfortunately, in 1967, while trying to set another new world speed record, at 482 km / h, an irreparable tragedy occurred, the seaplane crashed, and pilot Donald Campbell died in an accident. But this racer all the same went down in history as the only person in the world who conquered the speed on water of more than 450 km / h.
1) Spirit Of Australia
The fastest boat in the world
Maximum speed (Km-h / Kn-knot): 511 km.h / 276.3 knots
511 kilometers per hour! Amazing figure for speed on water, isn't it friends? But even more surprising is that this boat was built by a private master from Australia in his garage. (?)
Citizen Ken Warby designed and built such a boat that is capable of accelerating to a speed of 510 km / h, this happened in 1978. It is also noteworthy that until now and already in the 21st century, no one has surpassed this speed record on water among boats.
When it comes to high speeds, for some reason everyone immediately thinks of airplanes or cars. But in fact, watercraft also demonstrate super-speeds. In our review - the 10 fastest ships in the world in history.
