I feared it before, you claim …. again!
Turbine inlet temperature: 1,210 °F (655 °C) for J-79
+15°C s.l.
-56°C 40.000 feet
In the inlet the airspeed is subsonic.

Sens, the F-4J flying at 40.000 ft at 2,2 Mach has Compressor inlet Temperature limit for J-79 engine, 127 degrees C.

Every jet engine has its own CIT limit. It depends of engine internal components shapes and materials.

On the other hand, the R-35 engine of MiG-23 is able to support the aircraft to its airframe limit of 2,35 Mach.

The YF119 was more like 31,000lbs. Go check the sources of the day. As for drag it’s FAR more complex than “ooh the span has a few degrees less sweep therefore it MUST have WAY more drag”. If you increase drag slightly in one area but reduce it in many others and increase power then what do you think will happen?

There are aerodynamic equations which show how drag of each component effects total drag.
Unfortunatelly, the wing sweep and span have the greatest influence.
The wing thickness ratio above 5% has a great influence, too.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!! That’s one of your better ones (though with so many to choose from it’s hard to decide). Please explain to us why an F-22 needs 70,000lbs of thrust to go Mach 1.7 when a Foxhound, Eagle, Foxbat, B-58 Hustler, Tomcat, Vigilante and Avro Arrow could ALL do over Mach 2 with far less than that.

Sferrin, there is no such thing as universal jet engine.
That is, the jet engine which is equaly good for all speeds.

Firstly, all above mentioned airplanes achieve 2 Mach with A/B, which means with higher exhaust gas velocity than possible with dry power.

Second, their aerodynamics is optimised for 2 Mach. Look at fuselage finenes ratio of Hustler and F-22 !!!

Third, The F-119 engine has too high compressor static pressure ratio, which means that even with A/B it is not capable of speed over 2 Mach.
No way.

Also, do you know that if two engines have the same thrust, say 35.000 lb, but one with A/B and another without, the one with A/B will have much higher thrust at supersonic speeds.

That is because A/B inherently gives higher EGV than possible with Military power.

Which part of F-14A don’t you understand? Or have you already forgotten the fact that the TF-30 has better performance at high speed?

What do you mean ? How the TF-30 can have better performance than F-110 at high speed?
Account of what ?
The TF-30 is actually the first ever TF with afterburner, with all the vices which can be named.
-It is super sensitive to high airflow compressor pressures at high speeds, which often caused compressor stalls around 2 Mach.
-Its high by-pass ratio prevent good performance at high speeds, because of relatively slow exhaust gas velocity, etc,etc.

Sorry, but these are facts which every Tomcat pilot knows.

It was simply a bad engine.

Compare that with 2,35 Mach speed of R-35 powered MiG-23ML, with 2 large R-23 underwing missiles, and you will get the picture of TJ and higher by-pass TF.

The Mig is 0,5 Mach faster , with much draggier warload.

The same applies to climb and acceleration.

“Today I flew the Raptor at speeds exceeding (Mach 1.7) without afterburners,” General Jumper said. “To be able to go that fast without afterburners means that nobody can get you in their sights or get a lock-on. The aircraft’s impressive stealth capability, combined with its super cruise (capability), will give any adversary a very hard time.”

“The F-22 is fast, I mean it’s really fast. The top speed is classified but it’ll do 1600 mph.” Paul Metz, F-22A Chief Test Pilot

Two slightly more authoritative sources than your web pages.

These are typical propaganda statements of military officer and company official, without any foundation in Flight Mechanics.

Sferrin, are you aware that for 1,7 Mach without afterburner, its engines should have about 35.000 lb thrust each, in dry power.!!!

Above Mach 1.4 can mean anything from Mach 1.41 to Mach 37.

Above 1,4 Mach means anything between 1,41 and 1,49 Mach.

Otherwise, it would state ” above 1,5 Mach”.

Aerodynamic equations show that service F-22A has about 1,45 Mach speed without A/B.

The F-22A speed:

The Max A/B speed is 1,8 Mach, and max dry speed is 1,5 Mach.

“the max speed is above 1,4 Mach without A/B”.
