How fast are airplanes going when they land?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

The speed of an airplane when it lands varies depending on the size and type of aircraft. Commercial airplanes typically land at speeds between 130 to 160 knots (150 to 185 mph), while smaller general aviation aircraft may land at slower speeds around 60 to 80 knots (70 to 90 mph).
