What is top speed of a fighter jet?

The top speed of a fighter jet depends on the specific model and design of the aircraft. Here are some examples of the top speeds of notable fighter jets:

- Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor: Mach 2.25 (approximately 1,500 mph or 2,414 km/h)

- Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet: Mach 1.8 (approximately 1,190 mph or 1,915 km/h)

- Dassault Rafale: Mach 1.8 (approximately 1,190 mph or 1,915 km/h)

- Sukhoi Su-35: Mach 2.25 (approximately 1,500 mph or 2,414 km/h)

- Eurofighter Typhoon: Mach 2.0 (approximately 1,320 mph or 2,124 km/h)

These speeds represent the maximum theoretical speeds that the aircraft can achieve under optimal conditions. In practical scenarios, various factors such as air density, altitude, payload, and engine performance may affect the actual top speed attained by a fighter jet.
