Do You Know?
Do you know at what speed does a passenger plane flies? The speed changes during takeoff, cruising, and landing. Tap to read in detail.
Cruising Speed
Commercial passenger planes typically cruise at speeds between 500 to 600 miles per hour (800 to 965 kilometers per hour).
Takeoff Speed
The takeoff speed of a passenger plane ranges from 150 to 180 miles per hour, depending on the aircraft model.
Landing Speed
During landing, planes reduce their speed to around 150 to 170 miles per hour for a smooth descent.
Jet Stream Boost
Planes flying with a tailwind in the jet stream can gain an extra 50 to 150 miles per hour.
Supersonic Aircraft
Specialised commercial jets like the Concorde used to travel at Mach 2, which is about 1,354 miles per hour.
Altitude Factor
The speed of a plane is optimised at high altitudes, typically around 35,000 feet, where air resistance is lower.
