About the reference figures

Published speed figures can describe cruise or maximum speed. They are reference values, measured under different conditions. Jet Mach figures use a standard-atmosphere conversion for the displayed knots.

  • Airbus A350-900: Published cruise reference; seating and range vary with configuration.
  • Boeing 787-9: Published cruise reference; seating and range vary with configuration.

Reference figures vary by variant, configuration and conditions. Maximum speed and maximum range are separate reference points. Bar lengths show relative figures.
