How do airplanes' velocities different?

Airplanes' velocities can differ based on factors such as their size, weight, design, engine power, and environmental conditions like wind speed. Larger planes typically have higher cruising speeds than smaller ones. Additionally, different types of aircraft, like commercial jets, military planes, and propeller planes, have varying top speeds.

Why can a maglev train not go as fast as a plane?

Maglev trains have speed limitations due to air resistance, power consumption, and safety concerns at high speeds. Planes have higher top speeds because they operate in thin air at high altitudes, allowing them to overcome air resistance more efficiently. Additionally, planes are not constrained by friction with tracks like maglev trains are.


What is the difference between a hurricane and spitfire?

They are two very similar fighter planes used by the RAF during World War 2 but designed and built by different firms. Hawker's "Hurricane" had good maneuverability, and was armed with 4 20mm cannons. It's top speed was 340 MPH. The Spitfire had superbmaneuverability, was armed with 4 .303 machine guns and 2 20mm cannons, and had a top speed of 378 MPH. Both were excellent fighter planes. The Spitfire got "better press", but in truth 60% of the German planes shot down in the Battle of Britain were shot down by Hurricanes.
