The SR-71 is the fastest aircraft in the world with a maximum speed of Mach 3.2. In addition, the SR-71 also has 4 impressive stealth features including:

The aircraft's surface can prevent enemy radar waves from being reflected back to the receiver.
The wings, tail and fuselage were made of composite materials along with radar-absorbent titanium.
The aircraft engine is neatly placed close to the fuselage, reducing the chance of being detected by radar.
The aircraft is painted black with tiny ferrite particles that help reduce the radar cross section—the area at which a radar can detect an object. The F-15 Eagle has a cross section of 100 square meters, while the SR-71 has a cross section of less than 10 square meters.

2. F-117 Nighthawk

The F-117 has impressive stealth capabilities thanks to its very special aerodynamic design with cross-sections that allow it to scatter radar waves. The F-117 operates effectively in missions against command posts, communication centers, defense systems, and weapons depots.

The US Ohio-class nuclear submarine is highly regarded by the National Interest for its powerful combination of stealth and lethality.

The Ohio is the largest submarine ever built by the US, with a hull shaped like a fish to help the ship move quickly. The ship is designed to minimize noise as the nuclear missile launch tubes are placed along the hull, equipped with two steam turbines, one of which helps the ship operate silently.
