How high? Not using fingers and toes . . .
But seriously, do radio control planes count?

The Me 262 looks like a killer, but in retrospect German engineers were nuts to put those unreliable jet engines so far out on the wings. They must have lost quite a few a few irreplaceable pilots to asymmetrical thrust issues caused by an engine-out on takeoff or landing.
Comparing it to the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star that entered service only a year later, the Shooting Star managed to be almost 100 mph hour faster on one engine and a straight wing.
