max altitude and Mach 1
I 've noticed that many of the more modern fighters (F-16, SU-27) only reach
max alt while subsonic, whereas older fighters ( F-4, MiG-21 for instance) reach max altitude around M 1.6 or more. Is there some general reason for this? -- Curiosity killed the cat, and I'm gonna find out why!
