My understanding on this subject, which may well be wrong, is that the
air entering a jet engine must be slower than mach 1 before it hits the
compressor blades and this results in a roughly mach 2.8 top speed for
modern aircraft. Please correct this if wrong and explain if right.
Except there have been several aircraft capable of higher speeds. As long
as the inlet is capable of decelerating the airflow and the inlet temp is
within limits for the compressor face, the aircraft is good to go.
