Boeing 787 Dreamliner Hits 801 MPH - guohua - 02-19-2019 OMG! Really? Quote:Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787 Dreamliner Hits 801 MPH Over Pennsylvania, Thanks to Jet StreamBut, But, But, they say in the article that the aircraft was not actually going that fast that was its ground speed not its airspeed . YUP, I'm confused. Quote:Nothing like a little breeze at your airliner's back to make it look like you're going supersonic. Quote:Who needs the Concorde, anyway? On Monday, somewhere over norther Pennsylvania, a Virgin Atlantic-flown Boeing 787 Dreamliner traveling from Los Angeles to London managed to go where few commercial planes have gone before: to a speed of 801 miles per hour.See, See, See right there above says 801 mph! Quote:There is, of course, a catch: that 801-mph Vmax was the plane's ground speed, or the rate at which it was passing over the chilly landscape of PA below. Quote:Groundspeed, as it sounds like, is how fast a plane appears to be traveling from the vantage point of an observer on the solid, unmoving ground below.Okay! Make sense to You?
