It is not true. They all do that (300mph/2000 feet) on every take off and landing.

The French made Concorde had a take-off speed of 200 to 215 miles per hour (that is on the ground speed to lift-off) and then it would pickup more speed to reach cruise at or close to Mach 2 and it did not fall apart ................... your question does not really make good sense --- all those mentioned planes cruise at twice the speed that you show 300mph ... and the mere fact that the plane is only 2000 feet off the ground has no bearing to it's speed or safety ----- unless you are trying to trick the answerer and yes there are some mountains that are over 2000 feet and that does pose a problem to the disintegration factor ...................AND no not true -- your Q ain't fly .....

No.
Why would it do that?
Actually, 300 mph (260 knots) is kinda slow for a jet. That airspeed range is where airliners like 747s & 777s usually climb out on takeoff.
That airspeed alone wouldn't come close to causing it to disintegrate or even stress the airframe (unless it were to encounter VERY severe turbulence).

Still no and the 727 is a small 3 engine jet.

It doesn't sound right. Planes fly faster at higher altitudes because the air is thinner (less Resistance) What tears up planes is going faster than mach 1. They are not designed for the stresses and will come apart. At sea level and depending on the temperature it would have to be traveling approximately 750 mph to break the sound barrier.

no, why would it? during 9/11 the planes that flew into the World Trade Center were going faster than 300 mph and it was certainly lower than 2000 ft.

No. They can fly much faster than that at that altitude,they do every time they come in for a landing thru that altitude range.

Yes, if it hit another large aircraft.
