Maximum Speed : 2,414 km/h (1500mph) at 40,000ft. Service Ceiling : 18,000m (60,000ft) Empty Weight : 14,092 kg (31,069)lb. Loaded Weight : 18,632 kg (41,076 lb) Range : 1,367km (849 miles) The Lightning was the first and only interceptor to be designed and built in Britain that was capable of supersonic speeds in level flight.
As far back as 1943, the British Ministry of Aircraft Production had issued a specification designated "E.24/43" for a supersonic experimental jet aircraft that would be able to achieve 1,600 KPH (1,000 MPH). Miles Aircraft came up with a concept designated the "M.52" and received a contract to build the machine.
The first operational English Electric Lightning variant, designated Lightning F.1, was designed as an interceptor and to best perform this mission, emphasis was placed on rate-of-climb, acceleration, and speed, rather than range and so a radius of operation of 150 miles (240 km) from the V bomber airfields was the initial requirement.
The English Electric Lightning is a supersonic jet fighter aircraft of the Cold War era, noted for its great speed. It is the only all-British Mach 2 fighter aircraft and was the first aircraft in the world capable of supercruise.
