What to remember
No crew on board, not even a name: an uncrewed maglev rocket sled run by the US Air Force (USAF) reached 1,019 km/h (633 mph) on 4 March 2016. The run has no known certifying body.
For records of this kind, the criteria for a record, the authority of the certifier and the speed actually reached can all be disputed.
