"Record-Breaking Winds Propel Passenger Planes to Over 800mph"

Two passenger planes, a Virgin Atlantic flight and a United Airlines flight, reached speeds over 800 mph due to near record-breaking winds over the Mid-Atlantic, arriving at their destinations significantly ahead of schedule. The high-altitude winds, reaching speeds of 265 mph, were caused by contrasting temperatures. While flying faster than the speed of sound, the planes didn't break the sound barrier as they were still flying at their typical cruising speeds in unusually fast air. These flights are among the highest-known recorded speeds for passenger planes, with other notable instances including a China Airlines flight reaching 826 mph and a British Airways flight reaching 825 mph.

"Record-Breaking Winds Propel Passenger Planes to Over 800 mph"

Two passenger planes flying over the Mid-Atlantic reached speeds of over 800 mph, thanks to strong high-altitude winds, which is over 200 mph faster than their typical cruising speed. The winds, reaching up to 265 mph, were caused by contrasting temperatures in the region. While the planes flew faster than the speed of sound, they did not break the sound barrier as they were still flying at their usual cruising speeds. These flights are among the highest recorded ground speeds, with similar instances occurring in recent years.

"Russia's Shocking Loss of 76 Passenger Planes Blamed on Ukraine Invasion Sanctions, Minister Reveals"

Russia has lost 76 passenger planes due to sanctions related to its invasion of Ukraine, according to Russian Transport Minister Vitaly Savelyev. Many of these planes were registered abroad and were stranded in Russia after Bermuda and Ireland revoked their certificates of airworthiness. In response, Russia passed a law allowing leased foreign planes to be registered in the country. Russia now has 1,302 planes, of which 1,167 are passenger aircraft. The country has explored purchasing some of the stranded planes but has faced difficulties in negotiations.
