Best Answer

The top speed is about mach 1.8 [1382.4 mph.]

The distance from New York to L.A. is about 3000 miles, which makes the best time about 2 1/2 hours.

They are not permitted to fly over about 650 mph. at air shows, but if they are over 10,000 feet, and not flying an airshow, they can go at top speed legally.

The US F-15 Eagle can top out around 2.5 Mach. But the NASA x-43 scramjet can toodle along at 9.6 Mach, but is not a fighter. The Eurofighter approaches a speed of 3.0 Mach.

Eurofighter Typhoon is reported in all reasonable sources to fly at about 1,300 mph - that is mach 2.

It depends on many variables like for example cruising altitude and speed, humidity, temperature, type of fuel used etc.

my estimate would be around 4-5 hours, traveling around Mach 0.9 with drop tanks with barely any fuel remaining if any fuel at all.

In 2014, the Air Force demonstration team the Blue Angels fly F/A 18 jets. They fly up to 1,375 miles per hour but only about 1,000 miles per hour in demonstrations.

This depends on the jet. The Harrier can fly around 500 mph but the Eurofighter can top over 1400 mph
