I was scrolling through yf-23.net when I saw this page.

I was looking at the performance requirements given by the ATF Statement of Operational Need, and I noticed this.


the ability to accelerate from Mach 0.6 to Mach 1 in 20 seconds

the ability to accelerate from Mach 0.8 to Mach 1.8 in 50 seconds at 20-30,000 ft


This second acceleration requirement almost seems silly. I haven't been able to find this figure anywhere else, so is this one of the requirements that got relaxed?
