Aug, 26--(AP)--The United States Navy is doubly sure that it has the fastest aircraft in the world--a snarling, snorting and bellowing plane that spun itself a 650.6- mile- an- hour international speed record in four passes over a three-kilometre course on this de- sert waste yesterday.

Carl, 21, at the controls in a tiny cockpit which didnt looklarge enough for a man half his size. In so doing, the Skystreak' broke its own world speed record register. ed only last Wednesday.

The times for the four rung in'miles an hour were 652.642, 649.358, 652,579 and 648.730. At that, Cmdr Turner F Cald- well last week made one run faster than Carl's best mark yesterday.
