On average how long does it take to fly 1000 miles?

Answer 1

it would take about 20 hours

Answer 2

That's a tough question to answer because of all the variables like aircraft speed, weight, altitude, winds, and whether or not you are including climb out and descent, etc. On average, you can figure that a modern day commercial airliner travels at around 8 miles per minute in cruise. In other words, it would take a little over 2 hours to travel the 1000 miles at altitude. However, a 1000 mile trip would take a little longer as you would have to figure the additional time needed for the climb to altitude and descent to the airport. Here's a way how to get a "rough" idea of how long a flight will take once you know the distance. Using nautical miles, take the distance (1000 nm) and subtract 100 nm for the climb to altitude, then subtract 120 nm or the descent, and finally, divide the remainder by 8. This will give you about 97 minutes at cruise. Add 20 minutes for the climb and 20 minutes for the descent and you will have an "approximate" total flight time...in our example, it would be 97+20+20=137, which is 2 hours and 17 minutes. That would be from take off to landing, so if you wanted to be more accurate, you could add in taxi time to and from the gate. Again, this is only a rough estimate, but it will get you in the ball park.

Answer 3

Traveling any distance is highly dependent upon the speed in which you are traveling. A jet fighter traveling at Mach 1 could do this in less than two seconds once at speed. A vehicle traveling on an interstate within the United States could make the journey in about 8 and a half hours going 75 the entire trip.

Answer 4

An average commercial airplane has a cruising speed of about 575 mph (Boeing 757). Headwinds/tailwinds can affect this speed by up to about 100 mph. At cruising speed, an airplane will take around 1.5 - 2 hours to fly 1000 miles. A helicopter has a maximum speed of around 100mph and would take 10 hrs to fly 1000 miles however would not be able to carry the fuel load for a single 1000mile trip.

Answer 5

it really does depend on your mode of flight, a jet fighter will do in in minutes and a south African sparrow laden down with a coconut might take several days. the average passenger jet should be about an hour or two.

Answer 6

for a fly? a kite? a Cessna plane? a boing? a fighter plane?

Answer 7

Around 120 minutes/2 hours, since a plane flies at approximately 500mph.

Answer 8

Depends on the aircraft. A jet will fly faster than a propeller driven plane. Depends also on the air speed of the aircraft, weather conditions, tail or head wind, etc.

Answer 9

Depends on how fast you're flying.
