585 mph cruising speed
The cruising altitude of Boeing 747 is 30,000 feet.
A 747 typically cruises at 0.84 mach/560 nautical miles per hour.
Cruising speed is around 570 mph. Maximum speed is around 614 mph.
The Boeing 747-8I series has a cruising speed of 570 mph (Mach 0.855). It's maximum speed (both the 400 and 8I series) is 614 mph (Mach 0.92).
With zero wind and depending on the model the average 747 will cruise at .82 mach. The ground speed will increase proportionally with the tail wind.
Maximum speed for a 747 is 0.92 mach. Normal cruise is between 0.82 and 0.85 mach at altitudes up to 45,100 feet. meaning about 200 mph give or take.
The cruising altitude of a 747 depends on weather conditions, weight of the aircraft, and the amount of traffic on the other flight levels. Its average cruising altitude is around 33,000 feet.
An aircraft waiting to land is not cruising, it either on final approach so defending and slowing to 140 knots or is held in pattern at a speed dictated by act normally 180 to 200 knots
The service ceiling of a Boeing 747 is 43,000 ft. The maximum is 45,000 ft.
Cruising speed is 585 mph. The max speed for a 747-8 is 614mph, or 988km/h.Maximum speed = 0.92 machI recently watched a YouTubevideo of a Boeing 747 that reached a ground speed of 744 MPH (1196 km/hr). This is the highest speed that I know of that a 747 has ever flew. Here's the link to the video if you want to watch it. http://www.youtube.comwatch?v=AHrsYKTnGAUIt's titled "Boeing 747 Fastest Speed Commercial Flight".0.85 Mach567 mph (913 km/h)AnswerThe Boeing 747 cruises at around 0.85 Mach, but in answer to how fast "can" one go, the answer is that Vmo/Mmo (maximum operating speed/mach) for the earlier versions is 0.89 Mach and for the 747-400 it's 0.92 Mach.
Yes. The maximum cruising speed of the Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 747-8 is Mach 0.92(614 mph, 988 km/h, 533 kn), which is faster compared to the Airbus A380-800 which has a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.89 (945 km/h, 587 mph, 510 knots).
