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.
The speed of a jet plane can vary depending on the type of plane and its purpose. However, commercial jet planes typically cruise at speeds around 500-600 miles per hour, while faster military jets like the SR-71 Blackbird can exceed speeds of 2,000 miles per hour.

A plane climbs into the jet stream which is flowing at a rate of 80 miles per hour Traveling with the jet stream for 5 hours the plane covers 1150 miles The plane then reduces its altitude and fly?
The plane's airspeed is the sum of its speed relative to the air and the speed of the jet stream. To calculate the plane's airspeed when traveling with the jet stream, we can subtract the jet stream speed from 1150 miles divided by 5 hours. This gives an airspeed of 230 miles per hour.
A plane climbs a jet stream at a rate of 80 miles per hour travels the jet stream for 5 hours flying out the jet stream for 4 hours while the jet stream covered 550 miles less than it did during 5 hou?
The speed of the jet stream is 110 mph (550 miles / 5 hours). In 5 hours, the plane covers 400 miles (80 mph x 5 hours). In 4 hours, the plane covers 320 miles (80 mph x 4 hours), but it actually covers 550 miles less due to the effect of the jet stream. So, the total distance traveled by the plane in 9 hours would be 720 miles (400 miles + 320 miles).
A plane climbs into the jet stream which is flowing at a rate of 80 miles per hour It travels with the jet stream for 5 hours and then reduces its altitude flying out of the jet stream for 4 more h?
Flying with the jet stream, the plane's speed is its own speed plus the jet stream speed, totaling 80mph more than its usual speed. So, when it travels for 5 hours, it covers 5 hours x (its speed + 80mph). After leaving the jet stream, it flies at its own speed, without the jet stream speed. For the next 4 hours, it covers 4 hours x its speed. The total distance traveled during the entire trip is the sum of these two distances.
How much faster does the speed of light travel than a plane?
The speed of light is approximately 186,282 miles per second, whereas the average speed of a commercial jet is around 500 miles per hour. This means that the speed of light is over 670 million times faster than a plane.
For a fighter jet to take off from the deck of an aircraft carrier it must reach a speed of 62ms What is the calculated speed in miles per hour?
The calculated speed of 62 m/s is equivalent to approximately 139 miles per hour.

The plane's airspeed is the sum of its speed relative to the air and the speed of the jet stream. To calculate the plane's airspeed when traveling with the jet stream, we can subtract the jet stream speed from 1150 miles divided by 5 hours. This gives an airspeed of 230 miles per hour.
What is the average speed of a jet plane?
The average speed of a jet plane is about 900 kilometers per hour. However, this is usually measured in knots which refers to nautical miles and this translates to about 500 knots.
A jet plane traveling at a speed of 82 miles per hour is traveling at what speed in meters per second?
Apart from the fact that a jet plane would stall at that low a speed, the speed is equivalent to 36.657 metres per sec
What is the fastest speed of a jet plane in miles per hour?
The fastest jet ever flown flew at a little over March 3.
A piper cub can cover 500 miles in the same amount of time it takes a jet plane flying 250 miles per hour faster to cover 1500 miles how fast is the jet plane flying?
A piper cub can cover 500 miles in the same amount of time it takes a jet plane flying 250 miles per hour faster to cover 1500 miles. The jet plane flying 375 mph.
How fast can a jet plane travel per hour at slow speed?
It depends on weight, wing span stall speed
HOW MANY SPEED CAN A RACER JET GO?
1000000 MILES PER HOUR
What is the average speed of Boeing 737 jet?
About 550 Miles per hour.
How many miles per hour is the speed or sound of a harrier?
The Harrier jet can travel at up to 689 miles per hour.
What is the speed of a jet plane that flies 7200 km in 9 hours?
The speed is exactly 7,200 km per 9 hours. In other, more familiar units: -- 800 km per hour -- 497.1 miles per hour (rounded)
How fast doe a jet airliner go?
The x-15 fly-by at 4520 MPH is the fastest jet in the world. A private jet has a speed of around 600 miles per hour and a commercial jet comes in at 500 miles per hour.
A private plane leaves an airport and flies due east at 192 miles per hour Two hours later a jet leaves the same airport and flies due east at 960 milesper hour how far will the private plane fly be?
When the jet takes off, the light plane has been in the air for 2 hours, and has covered (2 x 192) = 384 miles. That's the light plane's lead. The lead closes at (960-192) = 768 miles per hour. It takes (384/768) = 1/2 hour to close the gap. During that time, the light plane flies another (192/2) = 96 miles, , for a total of (384 + 96) = 480 miles. Also during that time, the jet flies (960/2) = 480 miles. The math checks. They pass. But neither pilot notices it, because the jet passes the prop-job at the speed of sound.
