Answer 8

Most larger trans continental aircraft travel in the range of 500-550 knots per hour. On a flight from San Francisco to Washingon you should expect to be on the plane for a minimum of 5-6 hours, depending on flight route, weather, etc. Most airline websites will tell you the duration of your flight. Or check with flightaware.com and use your airline and flight number to check the duration of previous flights, including speed of the aircraft.

Varies from model to model. Not all have the same speed capability.
