Default effectiveness of infra red sensors at detecting aircraft

How effective are infra-red sensors, such as those on some anti aircraft
missiles, at detecting aircraft? Stealth aircraft are, I imagine, harder
to detect, but by how much?

Also, is there a simple rule-of-thumb relationship between how fast an
aircraft is travelling and how much air friction heats it up (and therefore
how much infra red radiation it gives off)?
