- nashashmi 10y agoSo the speed on that flight would be 951 km/hr. Wikipedia article states the max speed for 777 is 950 km/hr. In this AI flight plan, the speed is 1055 km/hr. A new speed record in its own right.
- caf 10y agoIt's not even a record for a passenger service, Singapore Airlines Changi to Newark service was slightly longer. They're going to be reintroducing that service when they get their A350-900ULR aircraft delivered.
