JetOptions Flight Time Calculator

Use this calculator to view estimated flight times between cities on any size of private aircraft. You can calculate the different flight times by category using the average size and speed of aircraft. The flight calculator can also take windspeeds into account by choosing Live or Seasonal Winds.

What’s the Fastest Private Jet?

The super-mid Cessna Citation X+ flies at just under the speed of sound at Mach .935 or 717 mph.

How do you Calculate Flight Time?

The basic calculation of flight time is distance divided by speed. Planes use knots for airspeed instead of miles per hour, which is a groundspeed measure. The aircraft’s true airspeed (or KTAS, for knots true airspeed) of a plane is the aircraft’s speed compared to the air mass through which it is flying. MPH doesn’t consider wind factors, heat, or humidity, affecting flight times during travel.
