Best Answer

The typical Jet airliner's speed is measured in a percetage of MACH speed. Mach is the speed of sound. The speed of sound varies with altitude and temperature. Most common jet airline aircraft travel between .78 MACH to as fast as .93 MACH. In miles an hour this is between 450 to 600 miles an hour without taking into account the effects of a headwind or a tailwind. Typically your jet airliner will be traveling at around 500 mile per hour.

That's a very tough question as there are so many variables, but if by "common" you mean commercial jet aircraft, then somewhere in the range of .8 Mach, + or - .02.
