What is the max speed of a Boeing 777?

Boeing 777 The “Triple Seven” flies at Mach 0.84, or 644 mph and can hold up to 426 passengers. You have several options to get on board a 777.

How fast was the Concorde jet?

How many hours can a 777-200 fly?

According to its 330-minute ETOPS certification, the Boeing 777-200 that was involved in the incident over the weekend can fly over five hours with just one engine.

How long can a 747 stay in the air?

On average, an aircraft is operable for about 30 years before it has to be retired. A Boeing 747 can endure about 35,000 pressurization cycles and flights—roughly 135,000 to 165,000 flight hours—before metal fatigue sets in.

What is the cruise speed of a Boeing 777-300ER?

Most airplanes will have an optimum cruise speed between Mach 0.8-Mach 0.86 and a MMO or max mach number around Mach 0.9ish. The 777–300ER is no different. The speed you saw was due to strong tailwinds. With a strong tailwind, you might get a ground speed of 1200 km/h! Going the other way, your ground speed may be only 600 km/h.

What is the ground speed of a Boeing 777?

If the air moves 120 km/h in the same direction as the flight path (tailwind), then the ground speed is 892+120=1012km/h. However, in still air the aircraft cannot reach a ground speed of 1000+ km/h, since there is an airspeed limit protection at Mach 0.89 (approx. 945 km/h). Mach 0.89 is the maximum operating Mach number of Boeing 777.

How many passengers can a Boeing 777 300 carry?

The Boeing 777-300 is a two-engined medium-to-long-range widebody airliner with a capacity of maximum 550 passengers produced by the American manufacturer Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The Boeing 777-300 is development of the baseline Boeing 777-200. The fuselage is stretched by 10,2 meters (33ft 6in).

What is the maximum Mach number of Boeing 777?

Mach 0.89 is the maximum operating Mach number of Boeing 777. Counterexample: with a headwind of 100 km/h the aircraft cannot even reach a ground speed of 900 km/h, again due to the airspeed limit protection.
