How long can an F-15 fly with it's afterburners on?

What is the average speed of a fighter jet?
Most modern fighter jets max out at about 2 or 2 and a half times the speed of sound. Most aircraft however cruise at subsonic speeds (under the speed of sound) so that they don't need to use afterburners which guzzle down fuel. That's changing however with the F-22 and latest Russian fighters being able to sustain supersonic flight (supercruise) without using afterburners.

Why do rockets go to space not jets?
Jets need air in order to work. Look at the jet engines on an airliner, and you'll notice that the front of the engine is wide open . . . to take in large gulps of air and mix it with the jet fuel. There's no air in space, so jets don't work there.
