There are two basic versions of the DC-4.
The DC-4 cruises at 178 Kts. or 202 MPH.
The Super DC-4 cruises at 200 Kts. or 227 MPH.

How can an aircraft reduce the speed in the air?
during flight aircraft reduce speed by spoiler
What is an aircraft's speed controlled by?
the speed of the engines
What is a mach number in aeroplanes?
The mach number is the speed of an aircraft, expressed as a fraction of the speed of sound in the atmospheric conditions in which the aircraft is flying. An aircraft flying at mach 1 is flying at the speed of sound.
What is the speed limit for aircraft taxiways?
This depends on whether you are looking for aircraft speed limits or motor vehicle speed limits.
What is groundspeed of the aircraft?
Ground speed is the speed the aircraft has compared to the ground. This is usually different from air speed, which is the aircraft's speed compared to the surrounding air. Thus an aircraft with 400 kph air speed and 50 kph headwind has a ground speed of 350 kph. For fun: with light aircraft with very low stall speeds it's possible to fly backwards (compared to the ground) if they fly into a headwind that's stronger than their lowest stall speed. I.e. their ground speed is negative.
Term used for velocity of an aircraft at the speed of sound?
When an aircraft travels at the speed of sound, it is said to be travelling at Mach 1.
What is super sonic aircraft?
Super sonic aircraft is aircraft that flies faster than the speed of sound.
What is the role of wind in flying an airplane?
Wing plays an important role in the speed of an airplane. A headwind reduces the speed of the aircraft. A tailwind increases the speed of the aircraft.
Some aircraft can fly faster than the speed of sound what is such speed called?
They are called Supersonic aircraft. Some aircraft can only do that. Some planes have reached even Hypersonic speeds.
How airplane senses speed?
Aircraft senses the speed through an instrument called airspeed indicater, which detect aircraft speed by compairing the dynamic pressure and static pressure working on aircraft at any altitude.(devsumant@gmail.com,Aeronautical eng.)
What is the tail assembly of an aircraft?
to take off the the aircraft which is operated at a specific speed on the runway
What is mach in airplane testing?
The "Mach number" is the speed of the aircraft as a percentage of the speed of sound. So an aircraft going at Mach 0.74 is traveling at 74% of the speed of sound. (Mach 0.74 is a typical airliner speed.)
