In Russia, a new fighter, the MiG-41 on the basis of heavy fighter-interceptor MiG-31, whose speed was Mach 2.8.
MOSCOW, February 28 - RIA Novosti.
The newest Russian fighter - interceptor MiG -41 should have a speed of at least Mach 4-4.3 , told RIA Novosti
Hero of Russia , test pilot Anatoly Kvochur .
He commented the message of State Duma deputy Alexander Tarnaeva that in Russia creating a new fighter, the MiG -41 on the basis of heavy fighter - interceptor MiG-31 , the speed of which was 2.8 Mach . Tarnaev said at a meeting of experts of aerospace defense that the Chief of Staff , signed an order of deep modernization of Soviet fighter- interceptor MiG-31.
" This upgrade was to be held twenty years ago. However, this did not happen, so now demands increased. They are including in the ( increasing ) speed interceptor to Mach 4-4.3 ," - said Kvochur .

Any idea of engine specifications and airframe changes??

Imagine the MiG-31 of the 21th Century.

Total Air Domination for Russia.

Well even if they can build such machine. How the hell human body is gonna handle such overload?

Why not? Speed has no affect on human body, acceleration does...

And u think they are just gonna keep flying on same speed? Think when have to make sharp turn at that high speed.

1. It does not say it will go from 0- mach 4 in seconds. Only extememly high acceleration would cause problems.

2. It will be an interceptor which does not need to make sharp turns when flying at such high speeds on interception course.

Nought to Mach4 will have issues only if it is in a very short time span. prolong the acceleration or decrease the acceleration rate and the issues you speak of are next to nil.

Can u elaborate in technical words plz.

Can u elaborate in technical words plz.

If you travel at constant speed in you car lets say 60 km/h you wont feel any forces acting on your body. It's like sitting in a chair. But if press the gas completely from zero you will be kind pushed against your seat.

Now if a plane accelerated slowly to Mach X you wont feel much, but if you go extremely quickly then you might face issues.

By the way, there is information that will be repaired and returned to operation several hundreds of MiG-31, which are on conservation.

true, sudden deceleration is what causes the death

Most modern fighters are capable of high acceleration, at the expense of frame/pilot. the max g force can be/is limited by hardware/software controls such that it doesn't harms.
