In theory, any plane can fly around the world in an hour, regardless of size or speed. It depends on your definition of 'around the world'. No existing plane can do this at the equator. But any plane can fly along a line of latitude that has the same full length as the distance the plane can fly in one hour. The faster the plane, the farther from the poles its lines of latitude will be.

How fast is a plain?

The speed of a plane can vary depending on the type of plane and its purpose. Commercial jets typically fly at speeds around 500 to 600 miles per hour (about 800 to 965 kilometers per hour), while smaller propeller planes might fly at speeds closer to 200 to 300 miles per hour (about 320 to 480 kilometers per hour). Military jets can fly much faster, reaching speeds of over 1,000 miles per hour (about 1,610 kilometers per hour).


How long does it take a plane flying 550 mph to fly around the earth once?

Use the formula distance = speed x time. Divide Earth's circumference (in miles) by the speed (in miles per hour), and you'll get a time (in hours).

How long to fly a plane around the sun?

A satellite in low orbit takes one and a half hour. A plane takes much longer, depending on the speed. Some supersonic planes can make it in less than 24 hours.A satellite in low orbit takes one and a half hour. A plane takes much longer, depending on the speed.
