What is the average speed of a commercial jetliner?

The average cruising airspeed for a commercial passenger aircraft that flies long distances is approximately 880–926 km/h (475–500 kn; 547–575 mph).

What is the fastest jetliner?

The 747 is one of the largest commercial aircraft ever built, and the 747-8 Intercontinental (747-8i) variant wins the race as the fastest commercial plane in service today. This plane is as tall as a six-story building with a top speed of Mach 0.86. That’s equivalent to 659.85 mph.

How far can a jetliner fly?

Most commercial aircraft are approved to fly at a maximum of around 42,000 feet.

How fast do the Blue Angels fly?

about 700 mph
Blue Angels Air Show facts The fastest speed flown during an air show is about 700 mph (just under Mach 1; Sneak Pass) and the slowest is about 120 mph (Section High Alpha).

Was the Concorde the fastest plane?

The record for the fastest flight by a commercial airline between New York and London is two hours, 52 minutes and 59 seconds – set by Concorde in 1996. Concorde was retired from service in October 2003 after British Airways and Air France blamed a downturn in demand and increasing maintenance costs.

Who fast is Mach 1?

approximately 760 miles per hour
Mach 1 is the speed of sound, which is approximately 760 miles per hour at sea level. An airplane flying less than Mach 1 is traveling at subsonic speeds, faster than Mach 1 would be supersonic speeds and Mach 2 would be twice the speed of sound.

Can a plane fly over Mount Everest?

Tim Morgan, a commercial pilot writing for Quora says aircraft can fly above 40,000 feet, and hence it is possible to fly over Mount Everest which stands at 29,031.69 feet. However, typical flight routes do not travel above Mount Everest as the mountains create unforgiving weather.

Why can’t helicopters fly high?

Choppers are mainly designed to fly short distances and typically fly much lower than airplanes, normally at under 10,000 feet. They are also unable to ascend to the same height an airplane can because instead of wings, helicopters fly by rotating blades.

What’s the slowest speed a plane can fly?

Technically this is the so-called ‘stall speed’, where air passes over the wings fast enough to sustain altitude, and for small planes this can be less than 50km/h (31mph).
