The F-100D Super Sabre was built with a Pratt & Whitney J57-P-21 engine that produced 16,000 lbs. of thrust with the afterburner engaged.

This gave it a maximum speed of 926.6 mph — faster than any fighter jet before it.

It paved the way for other fighter jets capable of flying twice as fast as the speed of sound.
