"Maximum speed, without external weapons, is estimated to be Mach 1.82 in supercruise mode;[85] as demonstrated by General John P. Jumper, former US Air Force Chief of Staff, when his Raptor exceeded Mach 1.7 without afterburners on 13 January 2005.[86]
With afterburners, it is "greater than Mach 2.0" (1,317 mph, 2,120 km/h), according to Lockheed Martin....

"Former Lockheed Raptor chief test pilot Paul Metz stated that the Raptor has a fixed inlet; Metz has also stated that the F-22 has a top speed greater than 1,600 mph (Mach 2.42) and its climb rate is faster than the F-15 Eagle due to advances in engine technology, despite the F-15's thrust-to-weight ratio of about 1.2:1, with the F-22 having a ratio closer to 1:1.

"на максимале М=1.72 (1830 км/ч) и на максимальном форсаже М=2.42 (2580 км/ч)."

"это не реально достигнутое значение, а расчет для гипотетического варианта Раптора с регулируемым воздухозаборником."
