Jet fighter top speed at military power
I am wonderning what the top speed (in mph) a clean F-15C, Mirage
2000, F-16C, and MiG-29 could accelerate to in level flight at optimum altitude (not just sea level) without afterburner. I usually see the top clean speed and the top sea level speed (with afternburner?) quoted, but rarely the top military power speed. If there are any online references for non-afterburner speeds of other supersonic jets, I'd be interested to know where to find them! Secondary question: did the F-15 get faster recently? Reference books of a decade or so ago tended to quote 1650 mph as top speed in clean configuration ion a good day (etc.) but now I see figures of 1875 mph on USAF web sites. Any help would be appreciated. |
