  1. Actual speeds in the B2's case Secret/Special Access Required.  However, the B2 has been reported as "high subsonic" which would imply about .8-.9 Mach.  The F18 around 2.2Mach.


  2. F-18 1190 MPH

    B-2   470 MPH

  3. the B-2 is not supersonic. Official sources say high subsonic. Near supersonic. Wikipedia says # Maximum speed: 410 knots (760 km/h, 470 mph)# O.O but then agian, since when was Wikipedia accurate?

    for the F18E/F super hornet. every source says mach 1.8+. I'm guessing it could go Mach 2.2 like jim says.

    at those speeds, a clean F-18E with no load hanging would need at least afterburner stage 2 or 3. To sustain it, it might need stage 4 or 5. At full AB without loadout, with full internal fuel, the F-18E has 3 minutes 12 seconds flight time--or less. (been in F-18 simulator)
