- jpatokal 8y agoNot so: while the 747 is notionally faster in terms of maximum speed, most modern large jets all cruise at March 0.85. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travel-truths/which-passenger-jet-plane-flies-the-fastest/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travel-truths/which-passe...
- tropo 8y agoOf course one can fly slower. The 747 is still capable of 0.92 for most variants and 0.9 for the 747-8. Other passenger jets can't do that.
