How many miles per hour can an A380 airbus fly?
The A380 has a cruising speed of Mach 0.85 (about 900 km/h or 560 mph at cruising altitude), its maximum design speed is Mach 0.96.
How many liters of fuel per second does an Airbus A380 burn?
The airline says the plane burns just 3.1 liters of fuel per passenger per 100 kilometers (a little more than three quarts of fuel per passenger every 60 miles).
How long would it take to go ten miles on public transportation?
That depends upon the transportation used, when the 10 miles are travelled and where the 10 miles are. The 10 miles I used to cycle to centre of town in 35-40 minutes would take 1 hour or more on a bus, but 10 miles along a motorway in a bus is going to take around 10 minutes. 10 miles on a train (from my local station to a central terminus) can take about 30 minutes for a stopping train, or 11 minutes for a fast one. An inter-city 125 would take 4 minutes 48 seconds to cover 10 miles at top speed, and the SNCF TGV at top speed takes 3 minutes. Switching to aircraft, at [top] cruising speed an Airbus A380 or Boeing 777 will cover 10 miles in just over 1 minute; Concorde (when in service) at top speed would cover 10 miles in 27 seconds.
