In a recent flight into Denver, our airspeed was right at 200 mph. I wouldn't have guessed that fast from watching other planes from the ground. Unfortunately, I don't remember what the plane was, but it was a very new-looking model judging by the interior, running two engines, one under each wing.
The aproch to land speed is varied on every type of aircraft and the total wight before
tuchdown, mainly 130-160 knots is a safe margine for most airliner.
What else can I help you with?
Which is the first commercial aircraft with supersonic speed?
The Concorde was .
What is the name of the aircraft that is a commercial aircraft and flies double the speed of sound?
You are propably looking for the Concorde or the Tupolev Tu-14. It should be noted, however, that none of these aircraft are in service today. Further, there are currently no supersonic aircraft in commercial service.
How fast does an Airbus A321 fly compared to other commercial aircraft?
The Airbus A321 typically flies at a speed of around 500 to 550 miles per hour, which is similar to other commercial aircraft in its class.
How do aircraft measure their speed?
Aircraft measure two kinds of speed, air speed and speed over ground. Air speed is measured by the flow of air one way or another. Speed over ground can nowadays easily be measured by GPS. Or the Old fashioned way of checking the time it takes to pass from one land mark to another.
Can any commercial passenger airplane cause a sonic boom?
No, commercial passenger aircraft are designed to avoid creating sonic booms by maintaining subsonic speeds. Sonic booms are produced when an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound (approximately 767 mph at sea level), which is not typical for commercial flights.
How do air brakes work on commercial aircraft?
Airbrakes on commercial aircraft are hydraulically operated.
What is the maximum flaps-extended speed?
It depend on what type of aircraft you are flying and change depend on your load factors in commercial airliners .
How fast are airplanes going when they land?
The speed depends on the aircraft type and also on the weight of the aircraft. The more load it is carrying, the faster it needs to travel to land safely. Typically, an airliner will be travelling at 120mph or faster as it lands. A 747 will usually be moving faster than a smaller passenger plane - in the region of 150mph or more. Concorde, designed for extreme speed needs to be travelling faster still. the design that helps it travel so fast also means that it needs to land at higher speeds than all other airliners. Light aircraft will typically be landing at a speed of below 100mph.It varies - depending on the plane. For example - a twin-seater light aircraft has a landing speed of roughly 70 mph. A 'heavy-bodied' jet will be travelling at over 300 mph !That depends on a lot of things like the type of aircraft, the wind speed, angle of the flaps etc. However a 747 will usually land between 121MPH and 165MPH. I hope this helps
What is the biggest commercial aircraft made by Boeing?
The Boeing 747-8 is the biggest commercial aircraft made by Boeing. It was also the biggest commercial aircraft till the A-380 came out.
What is the largest commercial aircraft in Unites States?
The largest commercial aircraft that operates in the United States is the A380.
Why is landing speed of an aircraft high?
Beacuse if we cme with lower speed we can stall just at 50 ft,which is more than a danger..we come with speed so tht we can land with full control on aircraft coz more airflow more effective controls.
What was the Date of First commercial aircraft?
the first MODERN commercial aircraft (boeing 247) entered service in1933
