You can land a 747 slower tha most jsts - 140 knots is ok for a normal landing
There are many different types of 747. The average landing speed would be 150 knots for a 747. It can be anywhere from about 120 to 180 knots depending on gross weight
140knots
The landing speed is 155 knots or more generally from 150 to 160 knots, depending on weight and wind conditions.
POSKY
It's about 170 mph depending on weight.
Bearing of 100 as it tells you
All commercial (heavy) aircraft have a range of landing speeds which vary according to landing weight and configuration (flap setting). The normal range for the 747 for various weights and flap settings is around 130 to 160 kts.
An approach (landing) speed is determined by the type of plane, weight, weather and the condition of the runway. A heavy 747-400 might have a landing speed of 160 KIAS (knots indicated air speed) or about 185 mph.
on an ils speeds set a landing speed would be around 145kts-150kts (166mph-172mph) depending on the landing flap setting selected - this is based on full flaps
The maximum speed of a 747 is Mach 0.92.
The max speed for a 747-8 is 614mph, or 988km/h
