The World’s Fastest Passenger Planes

Passenger Aircrafts have an average speed of 500 miles per hour which allows users to quickly get from one place to another. Passenger planes are a popular form of transport because they are quicker than the many other options including road and water-based transport. While their speed is already impressive, there are a few passenger planes that easily push the boundaries when it comes to speed on air which promises shorter travel times.

Gulfstream G500
Featuring a 673 miles per hour top speed, the Gulfstream G500 is one of the fastest and fuel-friendly passenger planes today. Complementing the flight speed is its ability to fly up to 6,000 miles without the need for refueling. It also features modern controls such as a master control for temperature, entertainment and even lighting.

Gulfstream G550
The later version of Gulfstream G500 is only bested by 2MPH. The Gulfstream G550 has a maximum speed of 675 miles per hour. Aside from the upgrade in top speed, the G550 also features additional conveniences such as on-board WLAN and satellite system for phone calls.

Falcon 7X
The Flacon 7X is not only known for its top speed (685 miles per hour), it’s also known for its size. With a length of 40 feet, the eight passengers will definitely feel spacious while it shoots across the sky. Because of its near Mach 1 speed (Mach .90), it comes with a technology that limits noises.

Cessna Citation X
The world’s fastest passenger plane has the top speed of 700 miles per hour. The seven-passenger plane also features an entertainment center with additional area dedicated for pre-landing preparation for passengers. Its Mach 0.92 speed makes it the fastest passenger airplane with near Mach 1 capability.
