Mach 2.25 This is the maximum speed cruise of Mach 65438+Mach 0.82. Compared with previous fighters, the biggest breakthrough of American-made F22 is its post-stall maneuver and supersonic cruise capability in actual combat environment.

Supersonic cruise refers to the ability of an aircraft to fly above Mach 1.4 for more than 30 minutes. The actual cruising speed of the American F22 fighter is as high as Mach 65438+Mach 0.72, without afterburner. This is mainly due to its excellent low-drag aerodynamic shape, built-in weapons and F 1 19 engine with large thrust and small bypass ratio.
