Why are planes fast?
There are 2 main reasons why planes are fast. First they have extremely powerful engines. Commercial airliners have engines that produce 70,000-90,000 lbs of thrust. Secondly, airplanes are very aerodynamic ( a measurement of how much force the air puts on an object). The more streamlined a plane is, the less HP is required to go the same speed. To look at it a different way, a more streamlined airplane can go faster with the same power.
An extremely fast airplane can cause an explosive sound called a?
sonic boom as the planes speed exceeds the sound barrier.
Can the human eye estimate speed?
Human eye cannot estimate speed because planes are too fast for an eye to estimate speed.

How fast to planes go?
usually it depends on where you are going if you are going to France from England the aircraft should travel approximately at 500/550 mph. if you are on a longer flight from England to Australia usually 600 mph. An interesting addition to this question is how slow can a plane go? RAAF pilots at their airforce base in South Australia can land planes while flying backwards. Into a strong headwind the plane can be kept airborn and can be landed while moving backwards.
How fast did planes go during world war 1?
1 metre per hour
How fast can airpanes go?
Some rocket planes can go as fast as six times the speed of sound. Most military fighter planes do not go faster than twice the speed of sound, and the typical civilian passenger/transport plane goes slower than the sound barrier.
What were women called who flew planes across the ocean during the World War 2?
Women Airforce Service Pilots
