depends if its in a dive, a spin or a tumble and wither its powered or unpowered and the weight and air resistance of each aircraft - a vertical nose first dive can break the sound barrior if the plane doesnt break up first - a flat spin can be quite slow - most aircraft have a maximim airspeed that when exceeded the aircraft usually starts breaking up - that's why a plane that losses power and starts an uncontrolled spin or dive often losses or breaks its wings or empanage (tail section)
