Best Answer

It depends on the aircraft. The average speed of a Cessna at touchdown is lower than the average speed of an Airbus 380.

200 KM average or it may be less if pilot is expertise.

The average aircraft can go 600 miles per hour.


What is the top speed of a Concorde aircraft?

Concorde have an average cruise speed of Mach 2.02 (about 2,140 km/h or 1,330 mph) with a maximum cruise altitude of 18,300 metres (60,000 feet), more than twice the speed of conventional aircraft. The average landing speed was 298 km/h (185 mph, 160 knots).


What is the speed of large aircraft on take off in kms?

This varies depends on the size of the plane. A smaller aircraft like Cessna would need a very less take-off speed than a Boeing. The average take-off speed is 280kmph.


Does plane wheels spin before landing?

When the landing gear is lowered there is no mechanism on the aircraft to get the wheels spinning before touchdown. The wheels may spin a little due to the flow of air over them but they may even be turning very slowly in the opposite direction to that at touchdown! Interestingly the grip of the main wheels on touchdown with the runway can affect the feel of the landing. When you land on a dry and `grippy` surface the touchdown may feel harder as the wheels will grip the runway on touchdown and the rotational forces that are required to get the wheels turning will cause a rotational force on the aircraft that will pull the nose of the aircraft down slightly which might cause the nosewheel to touchdown harder than on a normal day, thus making the `second` touchdown feel harsher.


What is the average air speed of a military jet?

It depends on what aircraft it is. For instance : The X-15 is the fastest manned aircraft in the world, traveling at mach 6.72The SR-71 Blackbird is the fastest airplane in the world, traveling at 3.2.Average speed of a jet is 850-900km/hr


What is the average speed of aircraft?

Depends on the aircraft. Some old, propeller driven aircarft managed just over 100 mph wheras modern military aircraft can travel at several thousand mph.


What is the minimum speed of an airplane and the average speed of an airplane?

Simply put, the minimum speed for all aircraft is Vs, the speed below which the wings cannot produce sufficient lift for level flight. You can further refine the answer by discussing Vmcg and Vmca which relate to multi-engine aircraft. These are the minimum controllable speeds on the ground and in the air (respectively) with an engine out and the other engines at maximum power. As for average speed, I'm not sure what you're after here, but one might say that the "average" speed of an aircraft would be the best speed at which it cruises. Cruise speeds are a function not only of aerodynamics, but of cost efficiencies as well and are determined by each operator according to its needs.


How can an aircraft reduce the speed in the air?

What is the maximum height of an airplane and the average speed of an airplane?

Every aircraft has a different height, and there are so many it is impossible to say an average speed. Most airliners cruise around 580-640 mph.

When one brakes during the landing roll of the aircraft is there a difference in the rotation speed of the nose wheel and the main wheels?

I would say that this is almost if not always true for any large aircraft, because the main wheels are larger and stronger due to the fact that the main wheels take the touchdown force first.


What is the average speed of airplane?

It's 1/2 of the airplane's top speed ... a different number for every model of aircraft.
