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.

If an airplane traveling from San Francisco to Chicago travels 1260 km in 3.5 h. What is the airplanes average speed?

To calculate the average speed of the airplane, divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken. The average speed is 1260 km divided by 3.5 hours, which equals 360 km/h. Therefore, the airplane's average speed is 360 kilometers per hour.

What is the maximum speed and minimum speed of airplane?

Unfortunately, this is much too general to answer. It completely depends on the type, manufacturer, and model of the aircraft.


An airplane flies 1000 km in 4 hours what is its average speed?

To calculate the average speed of the airplane, you divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken. In this case, the airplane flies 1000 km in 4 hours. Therefore, the average speed is 1000 km ÷ 4 hours = 250 km/h.


Can the average speed ever exceed the maximum speed for a trip?

No, the average speed will always be between the minimum and maximum speeds.


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.
