Interesting question. Actual RPM is not something that is normally used in the cockpit. Rather, RPM is monitored as a percentage of maximum, so rather than seeing a gauge reading 5000 RPM for instance, you would see a gauge reading 50%. Then, too, there are usually 2 or 3 spools (or rotating shafts) on present day jet engines, so you might see 80% N1 and 75% N2 referring to the different spools. As for actual RPM, the JT8D (a very popular engine used on the 727, 737 and DC-9, etc.) has a maximum N1 RPM of 8,600-8,800, and N2 of 12,250 RPM. Sorry for the long answer...
