There are many variables...especially when trying to decide what the "average" plane is.

1 knot = approximately 1.15 M.P.H. e.g. 100 knots = 115 m.p.h.

Average (Typical Cruising) Speeds:

Light Single Engine piston powered airplane - 110-130 knots.

Light Single Engine Turbine Powered Airplane - 150-180 knots.

Light Twin Piston - 180-200 knots

Heavy Twin Piston - 200-250 knots

Twin Turboprop - 250-300 knots

Turbine (pure-jet) Powered Jetliner or Corporate Jet - 450 - 500 Knots

Rocket Powered e.g. STS / Space Shuttle - 15,300 knots (It's also the fastest glider.)

The speeds vary greatly between models. For example, some single engine pistons can't exceed 100 knots but another model / design can exceed 200 knots.
