Crossing an ocean once took weeks by ship. A modern commercial jet can complete the same journey in hours. Most airliners are not flown at their maximum possible speed, however. Airlines balance journey time with fuel use, weather, traffic, passenger comfort, and safety. Understanding the numbers also requires knowing the difference between airspeed, ground speed, and Mach number. Quick Answer Most commercial jet airliners cruise at Mach 0.78 to 0.85, roughly 520 to 580 mph (840 to 930 km/h) through the surrounding air at altitude. Ground speed may be much higher or lower because of wind. Concorde cruised near Mach…

Most commercial passenger jets spend the cruise portion of a flight moving through the air at roughly 520 to 560 mph, although the number on your seatback map may be much higher or lower because that display shows speed over the ground. Aircraft type, altitude, temperature, wind, weight, routing, and airline fuel strategy all affect the speed you see. Quick Answer Most commercial jet airliners cruise at Mach 0.78 to Mach 0.85, equal to roughly 520–560 mph at a typical cruising altitude. Ground speed may exceed 600 or even 700 mph with a strong tailwind. Modern passenger jets remain subsonic,…

A missed clay or bird does not end the risk created by a fired shotshell. Small pellets may stop producing a useful pattern long before they stop moving, so a shot that passes its target can remain a serious safety risk. Understanding small shot yardage limits means separating effective pattern range from competition distances and total pellet travel. Quick Answer Small shot does not have one universal yardage limit. For common No. 7½, 8, and 9 target loads, useful pattern range is often around 20 to 40 yards, but the exact limit depends on the load, choke, target, and conditions.…

A .38 Special round can travel much farther than the distance at which most people can place an accurate shot. The exact distance changes with the firearm, ammunition, firing angle, and air conditions. The key safety point is simple: a bullet that has passed its practical aiming range may still travel far enough to injure someone or damage property. Quick Answer A .38 Special bullet can travel about 950 to 1,085 yards in the specific 2-inch and 4-inch military revolvers documented by the U.S. Army, or roughly 0.54 to 0.62 mile. The same manual lists maximum effective ranges of only…
