Private aircraft are aircraft that are owned by individuals rather than by governments or businesses, such as Airlines. Private aircraft may be used to transport passengers for hire or for charter. However, a "private pilot's license" does not allow a pilot to fly for business. It requires a commercial pilot's license.
Private or Commercial pilot

The cockpit is where the pilot controls the aircraft.
Most military fighter jets run with a single pilot and a flight officer. The Flight Officer is not trained to fly the aircraft.
The recreational pilot certificate was created by the FAA for "weekend" pilots, retired pilots, and pilots who cannot pass the FAA physical for the private pilots license. It is intended for pilots who fly for pleasure only and limits those pilots to daytime flying, aircraft with no more than four seats and powerplants of 180hp or less. Like a private pilots license, recreational pilots cannot fly for monetary compensation.A private pilot certificate has its own restrictions but a private pilot has the ability to attain further license endorsements to remove those restrictions.A private pilot may not fly in IFR weather until they have attained the IFR endorsement.A private pilot may not fly aircraft with more than a 200hp powerplant without the high-performance endorsement.A private pilot may not fly for monetary compensation without the commercial endorsement.A private pilot may not fly multi-engined aircraft without the multi-engine endorsement.A private pilot may not fly complex aircraft (aircraft with retractable gear and/or constant-speed prop) without the complex aircraft endorsement....and so on.The primary difference is that a private pilot usually intends to go on with their training and eventually attain these endorsements. The recreational certificate is intended for pilots who simply wish to fly on sunny days, just for fun, and has much less stringent requirements as far as training, currency, and medical. Many retired/older pilots who can no longer pass the FAA physical will opt for the recreational certificate so they can still fly for fun. Disabled people also can attain a recreational pilots license, but may have additional restrictions.
That can not be answered in less you divide aircraft in groups. An example question is: What is the most widely used type of aircraft for Private pilot training? That answer would be a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. To get a answer you have to be more specific.
The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde (2,140 km/h or 1,330 mph) was the fastest commercialaircraft to date. While not the newest military aircraft, the US X-15A-2 reached a speed of (7,274 km/h or 4,520 mph) making it the fastest aircraft to date to be flown by a pilot.
It depends on what type of pilot you'd like to be. You would start of with a Private Pilot License and then move to a Commercial License to get paid to fly. There are also a ton of ratings you can get for different types of flying and aircraft.
The auto pilot on board an aircraft can auto-fly the plane. The pilot programs it with flight information, then monitors it throughout the flight.
The fastest manned aircraft ever flown was the North American X-15. The fastest flight was flown on October 3, 1967 by pilot Pete Knight, he flew at 4,519 miles per hour. This aircraft was also capable of extreme altitude, the highest it ever flew was 67 miles.
The pilot is just 'the pilot'
