The speed for a plane looks like 343.92km/h (213.7mph) set in 1971. I'd have thought it would be faster but that's all I could find.
Dave, that seems a little off, it doesnt take much to make a plane do 200 with todays turbine engines.[&:]
Yeah, I agree. I've done a quick search on the plane fourm here and saw claims of 400mph for the ducted fan planes. I could not find any type of proof though and we all know how easy it is to say "yeah my truck goes 75mph" so the plane guys probably do some of the same. I do believe that many planes today exceed 200mph but 400???? idk......... But, like I said, 213 was the only confirmed record I found. If I run across more I'll post them up.
For the record, I've found many links to useful sites by using the search feature on this board. There's a TON of intresting stuff buried in these fourms.
