Planes come
in various shapes and sizes, and their speeds can differ significantly based on
their type and purpose. Commercial passenger planes, military jets, and smaller
private aircraft all have different maximum speeds. Here's a general overview
of the how fast do planes fly
various types
of planes typically operate:
● Commercial Passenger Planes: Most commercial
airliners, such as the Boeing 737 or Airbus A320, typically cruise at speeds of
around 460 to 575 miles per hour (740 to 930 kilometres per hour). This is the
typical cruising speed at high altitudes during long-haul flights.
● Supersonic Jets: Supersonic commercial jets
like the Concorde, which is no longer in service, could travel at speeds
greater than Mach 2, which is more than twice the speed of sound (about 1,354
miles per hour or 2,180 kilometres per hour).
