Question

How many MPH does a plane go at takeoff?

Answer 1

They are all different and depend on wind speed, temperature and weight of the plane. Here are some specifications for many private jets: http://www.jets.com/private_jets.aspx

Answer 2

Commercial jet airliners are usually moving at a minimum of 130 knots (150 mph) at takeoff, depending on the type of aircraft, its total weight, and other factors. A speed of 210 mph would be near the upper limit for takeoff for most jets. Some small private aircraft can take off at just 60 mph.

Answer 3

Depends on the plane. I rotated the F-104 at 200 mph, stayed close to the runway, retracted the gear, accelerated to 250 and climbed. F-111, rotated at 170 and climbed. The civilian Cessna 411s and 421s I've been flying for the past 20 years I rotate at 110, climb the first 1000 feet at 140, then accelerate to 160 for climb to cruise. My little 152 I rotated at 65 and climbed that way. You don't go very high in a 152. Given the right aircraft with the right wind, you can actually take off at zero mph ground speed. I'm talking fixed wing here, too, not helos.

Answer 4

Like the dude said, depends on the type airplane. Some light general aviation planes (Cessnas, for example) take off at 55-60 MPH or so. Airliners get off the ground around 120 or 130 or so.

Answer 5

varies on aircraft. some aircraft cant even cruise at the speed some aircrafts take off or land. cessnas like a 172 and 182 will be around 70-80 knots. a large commercial jet will be around 150 - 180 knots.

Answer 6

I took a ride on a 1914 Grumman biplane once - it took off at 25 mph, cruised at 55 mph, max at 65 mph. You just never know...

Answer 7

Most jets would be around 170 knots*, but it depends on the plane.

*(5 Knots = 5.8 MPH)

Answer 8

That depends on what kind of plane.A Harrier 0 mph.

Answer 9

between 180 and 200 MPH.

Answer 10

be more specific on the type of plane.
