Ever since the first time I boarded a plane, I’ve been amazed by the fact a plane that weighs so much and carries so many passengers can even get off the ground let alone fly so swiftly 30, 000 feet in the air. It’s just amazing to me.
Whether I’m flying on a CRJ-700 – which can accommodate up to 70 passengers – or a 777-200 that can carry 268 passengers, I’m fascinated with each and every take-off.
Not only do these planes carry 70 to 268 passengers, but they have cruising (ground) speeds of 544 to 550 mph. That’s Incredible.
