The typical Jet airliner's speed is measured in a percetage of MACH speed. Mach is the speed of sound. The speed of sound varies with altitude and temperature. Most common jet airline aircraft travel between .78 MACH to as fast as .93 MACH. In miles an hour this is between 450 to 600 miles an hour without taking into account the effects of a headwind or a tailwind. Typically your jet airliner will be traveling at around 500 mile per hour.

How fast can the hawker hunter fly?

The Hawk Hunter Fighter Jet can reach fairly impressive air speed. The technical information for this plane states its maximum speed is Mach 0.94, or 715 mph for us Americans. This is at sea level, so maximum speed during a test flight will apparently vary due to altitude, wind speed and direction, and other factors.
