There are 2 main reasons why planes are fast. First they have extremely powerful engines. Commercial airliners have engines that produce 70,000-90,000 lbs of thrust. Secondly, airplanes are very aerodynamic ( a measurement of how much force the air puts on an object). The more streamlined a plane is, the less HP is required to go the same speed. To look at it a different way, a more streamlined airplane can go faster with the same power.
What else can I help you with?
An extremely fast airplane can cause an explosive sound called a?
sonic boom as the planes speed exceeds the sound barrier.
Can a maglev train go as fast as a plane?
Maglev trains can achieve speeds comparable to or even greater than planes, with some traveling at over 300 mph. However, maglevs are limited by the infrastructure they run on, while planes have the advantage of flying directly in a straight line. This means that, in practice, planes may cover longer distances faster than maglev trains.
How fast do the planes in the airforce go?
The speed of Air Force planes varies depending on the type of aircraft. However, some of the fastest Air Force planes like the F-22 Raptor and F-15 Eagle can achieve speeds of over 1,500 mph (2,414 km/h) or more. The SR-71 Blackbird, a retired reconnaissance aircraft, holds the record for the fastest speed at over 2,200 mph (3,540 km/h).
What kind of inclined plane are there?
There are many kinds of inclined planes. Some examples are: driveways, slide, and a ramp. There are many kinds of inclined planes. Some examples are: driveways, slide, and a ramp.
Why can a maglev train not go as fast as a plane?
Maglev trains have speed limitations due to air resistance, power consumption, and safety concerns at high speeds. Planes have higher top speeds because they operate in thin air at high altitudes, allowing them to overcome air resistance more efficiently. Additionally, planes are not constrained by friction with tracks like maglev trains are.
Are paper planes fast?
yes
How fast were planes in 1934?

Why do we have planes?
because planes are fast and they can go to place that boats, cars, ect. can not. and for quicker transportation
How fast do air planes go?
depends on the plane.
How fast did planes go in 1940?

How fast can planes move?
anywhere from 100-4000 mph
Which planes now break the sound barrier and how fast they fly?
Only jet fighter planes break sound barrier now.
How fast do domestic planes typically fly?
Domestic planes typically fly at speeds ranging from 500 to 600 miles per hour.
How fast do planes travel in miles per hour?
Planes typically travel at speeds ranging from 500 to 600 miles per hour.
Are there planes that move fast then slow down to almost a stop?
The Harrier jet does this
Do planes go fast?
no not at all they are very slow, slower than snails
