No. The wind speed of the jet stream is constantly changing and varies at different points along it. The winds are generally fastest in the winter.
60 knots is the minimum speed for a wind aloft to be termed as a jet stream..
The wind on Mount Everest is called the summit wind. This wind comes from the jet stream and can reach speed of up to 70 miles per hour.
The Jet Stream
No, a plane flying against a jet stream will travel slower than a plane traveling with a jet stream. The jet stream is a high-altitude wind that can either boost or hinder an aircraft's speed depending on the direction of travel in relation to it. Flying with the jet stream provides a tailwind, increasing the aircraft's ground speed, while flying against it results in a headwind, reducing the ground speed.
Clouds are pushed by wind currents, including the jet stream, but they do not "ride" the jet stream like a vehicle would. The jet stream can affect the position and movement of clouds, but clouds are not carried along by the jet stream in the same way that a plane might be.
As trust increases, speed increases. Providing the angle of attack, and the wind speed stay the same.

No. Wind speed varies greatly depending on the weather.

Because of their wings and the wind speed outside.
It does. Usually, you'll be riding at about the same speed as the windspeed. If you and the wind is moving in the same direction, at the same speed, then you're not moving in relation to the wind. For you to feel the wind pushing you along, you have to be slower than the wind.
The Jet Stream
Air speed or ground speed?
No, a plane flying against a jet stream will travel slower than a plane traveling with a jet stream.

Flying with the jet stream provides a tailwind, increasing the aircraft's ground speed, while flying against it results in a headwind, reducing the ground speed.
These are lines of equal wind speed. They are most often contoured in the upper levels of the atmosphere, especially at the jet stream level. They are important for locating the jet stream and jet streaks within a jet stream

Wind shear is the change in speed and direction of wind at different altitudes in the same column. It can create turbulence and impact aircraft operations.
