The fastest fighter aircraft is the MiG 25, with speeds topping at Mach 3.2 (2,450 mph/4,000 km/h). Pilots were not allowed to go beyond Mach 2.8. Above Mach 2.8, the engines would overheat and burn up.
The MiG-25 is the fastest interceptor that was actually put in service, but the max air speed was limited to â¦Mach 2.83, or around 1,865 mph at altitude. This plane was caught on radar at Mach 3.2 one time but both of the planes engines were destroyed from the heat.
