how long does it take to go from one place to another by airplane than other?

Answer 1

Of course, it depends on the distance traveled and the type of vehicle.

A trip of 100 miles, in an automobile traveling 50 miles per hour would take two hours.

In a small, light plane, traveling 100 miles per hour, it would take one hour.

In a larger, faster airplane that flew at 200 miles per hour, the trip would take one half hour.

You can use the same math to figure out longer trips, for example, one thousand miles.

In that 50 mph car, it is a trip of twenty hours. In that fast, light plane traveling at 200 mph, it would last ten hours.

In a 500 mile per hour military jet, it would only last two hours.

Answer 2

First you have to know the distance and then your probable average speed.

Let's compare;

A car traveling on the city streets might average 30 miles per hour. That's .5 mile per minute. A 24 mile trip would take 48 minutes. (24 / 30 = .8 x 60 = 48)

A car traveling on the highway might average 60 miles per hour. That's 1 mile per minute. A 200 mile trip would take 200 minutes or 3 hours and 20 minutes. (200 / 60 = 3.3 x 60 = 200)

A small Cessna 172 (light aircraft) might average 108 knots or 1.8 miles per minute. A 200 nautical mile trip would take 111 minutes or 1 hour and 51 minutes. (200 / 108 = 1.85 x 1.8 = 111)

A Boeing 737 airliner might average 438 knots or 7.3 miles per minute. A 1500 nm trip would take 205.5 minutes or 3 hours and 25.5 minutes. (1500 / 438 knots = 3.42 x 60 = 205.5)

A Citation X business jet might average 504 knots or 8.4 miles per minute. A 1500 nm trip would take 178.6 minutes or 2 hours and 58.6 minutes. (1500 / 504 knots = 2.98 x 60 = 178.6)

Average speed in flight can be increased with a tailwind or decreased with a headwind.

Typically, at 40,000 feet going west bound you might have a 50 knot headwind which would change your average speed in the last example from 504 knots to 454 knots. Then that same trip would take almost 20 minutes longer.

I have flown at 40,000 feet and seen the wind up there calm and also as high as 160 knots. Those high wind speeds are caused by the jetstream, which is a winding river of fast moving air that tends to stay north in the summer and move south in the winter.

Answer 3

Okay I don't know if I'm understanding your question completely, but from Toronto ,Ontario,Canada to Edmonton ,Alberta,Canada,it takes approximately 4 1/2 hours. So hope that helps.

Answer 4

It depends on where you are going. On average it is about 3 times faster.
