"Fastest Propeller Aircraft, Tu-95 'Bear' The Tu-95 'Bear' is the fastest propeller aircraft. It was the Russian equivalent to the American B-52 Stratofortress during the Cold War. The Tu-95 was an extremely loud aircraft due to its massive contra-rotating propellers. Submarine crews actually reported hearing diving Tu-95's because of their distinctive sound."
