MILNET: Fighter Aircraft Tables

Below is a list of the World's fighter aircraft in table format.

Note: In the listing below, we have links to the U.S. military fact file pages that contain data on selected aircraft. We will try to keep these links current, however, we spend far too much time on that activity, and therefore you may find a link broken as the services move their "stuff" around. We also should note that we used other sources for information than the official military info posted online, so data may vary from our presentation and that found in the official pages - MILNET, April, 1998.

Information from various sources in the MILNET Bibliography, including Air Force Magazine, and The Directory of the World's Weapons.


Note *1: According to The Encyclopedia of Modern Warplanes, page 167, the YF-22A #2 prototype flew on October 1991, with P&WA F-119 engines and demonstrated Mach 1.5 super cruise (non-afterburning cruise speed), and a Mach 1.7 max speed. Obviously with afterburners the aircraft is very likely to be much faster at full afterburner. Production aircraft are assumed to be using P&WA F-119 P100 engines.
