Wings that are straight-edged are stable at low airspeeds. However, they produce a lot of drag and limit the airspeed. Wings that are swept back have less drag and are capable of greater speed, but they are unstable at low speed.

Can objects be designed so that their shapes causes air to move different speeds above and below them?

Yes, objects can be designed with specific shapes to manipulate air flow. For example, airfoils are designed with a curved shape that accelerates airflow above the object, creating lower pressure and lift. Similarly, streamlined shapes can reduce drag by minimizing resistance to airflow.

How fast can a fighter plane go?

Different fighter planes have different capabilities, but somewhere between Mach 1 (the speed of sound) and Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) has been the general norm for fighter planes in the last five decades. Fighter-bombers are capable of supersonic speeds above Mach 1, but fighter-interceptors can do about Mach 2.5.
