A normal commercial jet can cruise at a speed of mach 0.85 or about 570 miles
At cruise altitude (35,000ft) the average cruise speed is 460 knots - 530mph.
High Speed Cruise: 488 knots
depends on its speed, wind, and density altitude, and which jet you are asking about - at average cruise speed for large passenger jets at normal cruising flight levels its about 450 to 600 miles in an hour but due to wind and other factors can vary from this

from wikipediaCruise speed Mach 0.80 (530 mph, 458 knots, 850 km/h at cruise altitude, i.e. 35,000 ft or 10.66 km)
Usually, all commercial jet aircraft cruise between 30000 and 40000 feet.
Most modern jet fighters have a maximum speed in the range of Mach 1.5. They cruise at around Mach .95. The actual velocity as measured through the air will vary depending on temperature and pressure, which in turn vary with altitude.
Usually Max Range and fuel consumption. If it is a short trip, the cruise altitude may be limited. Cruise altitude is determined by a number of factors, among which are winds, weather, length of flight, fuel economy, etc. Generally speaking, the higher a jet can fly, the more it will save in fuel. However, on shorter legs, an aircraft may not be able to reach the most economical operating altitude. Then, too, winds and weather can be major factors in selecting a lower than optimum cruise altitude.
The typical cruise speed for a dc 10 is around 600 miles per hour.
The typical cruise speed for a dc 10 is around 600 miles per hour.
Depends on the aircraft, and the altitude. The actual top speed of current fighters is classified information- but the F-16, at high altitude, can exceed twice the speed of sound- more than 1500 mph.
