Depends on which 'small' planes you are talking about!
Generally light/small aircraft are operated with a piston engine(s) similar to the ones you will find in your car. As they are still fairly fast, an airline aircraft is much more quicker due to its jet engines.
Furthermore, military combat aircraft are MUCH MUCH MORE faster than airline aircraft simply because of their lightweight and GI-NORMOUS thrust their jet engines produce. When you see them doing loops etc. they're throwing aerodynamics out the window and letting their over-powered engines do the work!
Hope this helped.

∙ 13y agoSome larger planes travel faster than some smaller planes, and vice versa. Many larger passenger planes (which are jet aircraft) can travel several times faster than most small planes (which are light aircraft and are propeller driven). There are a wide variety of aircraft, and their performance characteristics (like speed) vary. This general question has no "pat" answer, and it would take the comparison of two specific aircraft to get a definitive answer.

A motorcycle has less of what that makes it accelerate faster than a car?
From F=m*a, acceleration = force / mass Since mass is in the denominator, it would follow that the less mass there is, the greater the acceleration, force being equal. Although an average motorcycle has, perhaps, half the horsepower of a medium size car, it has MUCH less mass.
Does the mass of the car effect the speed?
A cars weight affects its speed by varying its momentum. If the car has more weight, it has more momentum. With more momentum comes more inertia.(definition: inertia- an objects resistance to change in direction or movement) If the car has a lot of weight, it will speed up slower and stop slower because the cars inertia and momentum keep propelling it forward. If a car has less weight, it will speed up faster and stop faster because the momentum of the car is less than that of the heavier car. A: It is called the power to weight ratio.
Would a toy car go faster or slower down a ramp with sandpaper compared to a ramp with no sandpaper?
-- Steeper ramp.-- Lower friction in the wheel and axle bearings of the car.-- Better aerodynamic streamlining of the shape of the car.-- Make the car of iron and conceal a large magnet at the bottom of the ramp.
Why would a passing race car display more Doppler effect than a passing police siren?
The amount of Doppler shift depends on speed - the faster vehicle will show more Doppler shift.
What cars use of science?
Nearly every aspect of a car has some basis in science, including streamlining cars to reduce drag, and improve fuel mileage. The computer in a current car is much more powerful than the computers used in the Apollo spacecraft. The science of ergonomics is used to fit a car- and the controls- to best use by humans. Hi temperature chemistry is the basis of the catalytic converter that controls pollution. Hybrid cars use a highly developed Lithium battery to power the car, and air bags use a special gas system to inflate them faster than you can blink- all based on science.
Is a plane really fast?
yes a plane is very fast compared to a car it goes about 30 times faster than a car while the plane is taking off
Examples of different miles per hour?
For example, an air plane usually goes faster than a car, and a car usually goes faster than a walking person.
Are planes faster than cars?
Generally, yes. But if the plane is moving very slow and the car is driving really, really fast, then the car is faster.
What is the worlds fastest Lamborghini?
lamborghini reventon this car is faster than a jet plane
Does a car go faster than a plane?
Yes ,A car can go faster than a aeroplane if the jet engine is installed in it.Infact the fastest car achieved a speed of 1369 miles per hour.
Why do you travel by the train?
It's Typically faster than by Boat or Car however it is usally cheaper than a plane.
What is the use of a train?
To move people and/or cargo from one location to another. It is faster than a car and cheaper than a plane
How much faster than a car is a tube?
It's not.
How long does it take you to get to the Grand Canyon?
It depends on where you are and your means of transportation. For instance, taking a plane would be a much faster means of travel than taking a car or a train.
How much faster is an airplane than a car?
depends on if your talking top speed or travelling(NY to Los Angeles)? BUT A cars cruise at 75mph vs. 500mph for a plane. So 6-7times faster is about right.
Can a car run faster than a donkey?
Yes, horses top out at around 45 mph. No way!!! A cuba runs at a top speed of 104 kilometers an hour!!! (like a cheeta or something) I am pretty sure a racing horse can run faster than half that!!!
What is faster a car or plane?
Accelerating to 200 mph there are several cars that can out run even the fastest planes, such as the Salen S7, ferarri Enzo, Lamborghini Merialago ect... but a planes cruising speed is much faster than any cars top speed.
