Airplanes are essential in today’s globalized world; aviation represents the fastest and most effective way to get from one country to another, and close to 100,000 passenger planes take off every single day, transporting people all over the globe in a matter of hours. Without them, we would be stuck with boats and ships that entail far greater travel times and considerably more uncomfortable rides – a reality many of us weren’t even alive to see.

Ever since the first flight in world history – completed by the Wright Flyer in 1903, aircraft have been undergoing constant evolution, and nowadays, there are some passenger airplanes capable of flirting with supersonic speeds, such as the Bombardier Global 8000 private jet, which broke the sound barrier during an SAF test flight.

When it comes to larger commercial airplanes that are far more accessible to us than a $78 million dollar private jet, there are still some aircraft that can cruise at insanely fast speeds and carry hoards of people across the world as if it were nothing. Let’s take a look at some of the fastest commercial planes in the world.
