It depends on the model. The B-17E could get up to around 520km/hr top speed, while the variant produced in the most numbers, the B-17G, was capable of 460 km/hr, the speed reduction occurring in large part due to the higher defensive armament, with 13 .50 cal machine guns, two of them in a chin turret which increased drag.
