Default F-16 max speed quetion


http://www.f16falcon.com/facts/f16_1.html

"In order to save weight and complexity, the geometry of the
intake was fixed, which limits the maximum speed of the F-16 to
below Mach 2."


If this is correct, it begs the question: what possible max speed
could the F-16 have reached if a movable inlet was ever adapted?



Regards...
