There are many types of fighter jets across the globe, and many have unique features that put them in classes of their own, but a highly debated topic is which fighters are the best. 

Making these decisions can be very tough based on which aircraft have what features, as some have speed on their side while others might have looks or firepower. Regardless, here's a list of the top 5 fighter jets in the world. 

5: F-18 Hornet

Few aircraft are known more than the F-18 Hornet, and this classic twin-engine fighter is the workhorse of the U.S. Navy, along with its impressive global market share among other countries. 

Used by the Blue Angels and many other countries as part of their demo fleets, the F-18 is one of those aircraft you know will put on a great show. 

4: A-10 Warthog

This one joins the list as one of the most recognizable sounds in military aviation. The high-powered, fully automatic Gatling gun on the front of the aircraft has an unmistakable buzz when fired off and is the high point of any demonstration flight (if used) at an airshow. 

The sound alone gives chills up your spine and builds into the legacy this fighter jet has created over its storied career.
