This Is How Fast The F-35 Lightning II Can Fly

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is the newest fifth-generation fighter produced by the United States, but interestingly, it is not necessarily the highest-performing when compared on certain metrics, like speed, to other legacy fighter aircraft. Its 5th-gen predecessor, the F-22 Raptor, also a LM Skunk Works design, remains the apex predator of the Tactical Air world and is significantly faster than the F-35.
