Although The Guinness Book of Records recorded the XF-84H as the fastest propeller-driven aircraft ever built, with a design top speed of 670 mph (1,080 km/h) (Mach 0.9) and 623 mph (1,003 km/h) (Mach 0.83) during tests, this claim has been disputed.
Commercial jets are by far one of the fastest ways to travel. Each type of jet has its own takeoff, cruising and landing speed. A commercial jetliner usually takes off between 160 and 180 mph. The varying speed can be due to wind resistance, overall weight capacity and/or the use of high-lift devices. Airspeed is measured with respect to the velocity of the object through the air. The average cruising speed is between 550 and 580 mph. Wind resistance is a key factor when determining the speed of the aircraft. The average landing speed for a commercial jet is 150 to 166 mph. Changes in speed can be a result of weather conditions, runway length and landing weight.
