9. SEA HARRIER FA2
Manufacturer: British Aerospace
Power Plant: Rolls Royce Pegasus mk 104 or 106 turbofan
Top Speed: 736 mph
Armament: Two 30-mm Aden cannon, plus two AMRAAM and four Sidewinder missiles, two Harpoon or Sea Eagle anti-ship missiles
With more capabilities in terms of strategy, can emerge from unexpected places, SEA Harrier earns a rating to the dreaded. Unique design and simple to produce a good coating of air attacks. Although lethal, low-speed maneuverability and high-flying made him unable to attack by ground troops. Despite this aircraft has been removed from front line operations is still worth getting one place to 9th.
8. Sopwith Camel

Top Speed: 540 mph
Armament: Four 30mm MK-108 cannons
For this innovation an absolute score. Be the first to its kind, Me 262 was inspired by fear and admiration, making it one of the most feared.
However, because the aircraft are difficult to make and this is the famous performing machine, the production of this aircraft is very small, throughout history, this aircraft only operated for two years. Nevertheless, 262 to remain in the record books as the first true fighter jet into a fully operational aviation legend and the best fighter of all time.
6. Super marine Spitfire

Compared with the fighter now, both are less intense and primitive, but some of these units have been fulfilling their duties very well. Both the F-86 Sabre and MiG 15 is a plane that was created at the right time throughout aviation history.
Both are designed to cheat the typical German broom wing and engine design from Britain, so for the MiG and Sabre innovation is considered balanced. Both are produced by a number of very much, but the MiG step ahead for the category of productivity due to a simpler design. Both have a similar flight records. The result? They are inseparable: MiG 15 and f - 86 a draw for a place to-5 to-4.
