what is the slowest a plane can travel when in flight?
345851
each airplane has it's own stall speed, thats from "craft to craft" and not from 'type top type" all airplanes are different eeven if they are the same type, due to the fact that all aircraft are hand fashions.....stallspeed is the speed at which a craft will fall from the sky. some bi-planes can almost hoover, goin no more than about 15 miles per hour.....a jumbo jet can travel at about 140 knots before the effect of thier wieght becomes a factor. so your answer is?.....it varies

The average flight speed is about 45 kilometers per hour. Which breaks down to abput 28 miles per hour.

Actually yes\n\na small aircraft, can in fact stop forward movement over the ground.  If the plane is flying into the wind at 70 mph, (indicated air speed) however the wind  he is flying into, is hititting his plane at 70 mph, that would put the ground speed of zero.  All aircraft are effected by wind.  The same plane flying at a air speed of 70 mph, with a tail wind of 70 mph, has a ground speed of 140 mph.\nalso\nA landing is also known as a controlled crash.....think about it

Great question, and you have the answer within the question!   It's air pressure that allows an airplane to rise into the air.  The secret is to get more pressure pushing up than pushing down.\n\nMany years ago scientists discovered that fast moving air exerts less pressure than slower air.  So you have to get the air on top of the plane's wing moving faster than the air on the bottom of the wing.  How do you do that?  Curve the top of the wing!   Then the air has to travel farther (to go over the curve), so it's going to go faster.  The bottom of the wing is flat - slower air, more pressure up against the wing.  \n\nThe difference between the two pressures - under and over the wing - is enough to make even a huge 747 go up into the air - if the air is flowing fast enough.  That's why an airliner has go almost 200 km/hr (or well over 100 mph) to before it starts to fly.

Well, A plane's speed is way too low to leave Earth's atmosphere.  For something to orbit around the Earth, it would have to move at speeds of at least 40000 km/h or MACH 40, the fastest airplanes have only went at MACH 4.  Now a plane can fly because it uses the atmosphere to lift it up.  But once it gets higher and higher, the atmosphere becomes too light to lift the plane up so there will be a certain altitude when the altitude levels off and the plane will no longer climb.

When an airplane wants to land it has to slow down from the fast speeds it was moving at in the upper atmosphere. To slow down they have to turn their noze up and almost come to a gradual "stall" that slows them down and can appear to seem as if they've stopped in mid air.

molecules slowly dissipate into the air. Some molecules faster than others depending on how concentrated they are and if they are in a liquid state

The path of least resistance?

No.  When you departed the aircraft you body would be travelling at the same speed as the aircraft was travelling.    Wind resistance would slow your body down very quickly but you would still land well ahead of the point in which you jumped out of the plane.

An airplane flying in reverse of the earth's rotation will travel the same distance faster than one flying in the same direction as rotation.

Taking off in a puddle-jumper from Farmington, NM airport right when a very strong cold front hit the airport.  We had to fly into the front then make a U-turn after we took off.  In the air, the plane plane slid sideways for what felt like 100 ft., and the rest of the trip the plane kept dropping and rising like a roller-coaster.

flying faster than the gravitational pull that is pulling you back

For small hummers like Ruby-throated, about 55 times per second. Normal flight speed is about 25 MPH.

fastest-moving bird: diving peregrine falcon at 188 km/h (117 mph) \n\nfastest flapping flight. white-throated needle-tailed swift at 170 km/h (106 mph)\n\nfastest level-flight. red-breasted merganser (duck) at 161 km/h (100 mph)\n\nOR\n\nThe fastest FLYING bird is the Spine-tailed Swift, an Asian bird that has been recorded as being able to fly at 106 mph. HOWEVER, the Peregrine falcon can DIVE much faster. It's reported diving after their prey at speeds of over 200 miles an hour.

Is the speed at which it travels.

Plane is just any aircraft in general or a surface plane like horizontal, frontal or profile.\nFlight is your journey in the plane &\nJet is a specific aircraft or the description of the speed that you are going.

In the US, see the FAA web site, FAR part 103. The aircraft must not be capable of more than 55 knots calibrated airspeed at full power in level flight.\n\nDo you know there is a special category for aircraft questions?
