What makes smaller airplanes go faster than bigger airplanes?

Answer 1

There are four factors that are exerted on airplanes. Thrust, Drag, Gravity and lift. Lift must be higher then gravity to make a plane go up. Thrust be be stronger then drag to make a plane go faster. As a plane becomes larger, more drag is added to the plane. This requires more thrust to maintain the same speed. So, as a plane gets larger the amount of power an engine must produce goes up drastically. Small planes with the same horsepower or thrust ratings will alays be able to go faster.

Answer 2

Smaller airplanes have less weight and drag compared to bigger airplanes, allowing them to achieve higher speeds with the same amount of power. Additionally, smaller airplanes typically have higher power-to-weight ratios, which can contribute to faster speeds.
