At times the 747 was flying at 826 miles an hour. It made the normal almost six hour flight in less than 5 hours.
It was going that fast because it was in a powerful jet stream from a tropical storm. The big jet was completely safe because it was going faster because of a massive tailwind. Even though it was going faster over the ground, it was in the air and it wasn’t going faster than it’s normal air speed. It saved a load of fuel and the passengers saved a great amount of time. HERE. Greta Thunberg covered about the same distance in 15 days, (360 hours) the time required to make almost 73 flights over the same distance. Thunberg went 73 times slower than the big jet. Her return sailboat trip took 5 days longer, 20 days.
Instead of fighting technology, Thunberg should be studying how to go faster and get more done in her life instead of wasting her time sailing.
