@ryanhallyall: A 747 over the Pacific hit 789 mph this weekend. Nothing was wrong with it. It was riding a 220 mph jet stream, and that same jet is aimed at the West Coast all next week.

Jumbo jets do not break the sound barrier

This is kinda scary given if there’s a problem it’s incredibly hard to correct at that speed

This explains why a passenger jet can go up to 840mph without making a sonic boom/breaking the sound barrier: Airspeed vs. Ground Speed: Breaking the sound barrier depends on your true airspeed (how fast the plane is moving through the surrounding air), not your ground speed (how fast you are moving relative to the ground). The Jet Stream Boost: The jet stream acts like an invisible moving river of air at high altitudes (around 35,000 feet). If a plane cruises at a normal subsonic speed of about Mach 0.82 to 0.85 (roughly 550 to 570 mph through the air) and catches a massive tailwind of 200 to 265 mph, its ground speed jumps over 800 mph. The Limit: Because the aircraft is sitting inside a fast-moving body of air, the plane itself isn't fighting supersonic drag or creating a sonic boom. The actual airspeed remains well below Mach 1 (the local speed of sound is roughly 670–767 mph depending on altitude and temperature), meaning a plane can legally and safely travel over 800 mph over the ground without ever breaking the sound barrier.

There's some state trooper, with a smokey the bear hat that's way too tight, pissed off that they're breaking the speed limit up there and he can't give those pilots tickets.

We flew from ATL to Amsterdam on February 8 2020. We arrived incredibly sooner than scheduled. And many other flights did.

If more planes fly in a certain path, can it cause a difference in which direction(s) the stream is going? Like could it be manipulated?

I was watching my own flight on flightradar24 coming back from Hong Kong on Friday and wondering why we were going so fast 😂

It was a godsend riding that jet stream from Haneda to Ohare. Shaved two hours off our flight time.

Good tail winds are fun. Espically when it's in something like a pc12 ( fast turbo prop) which cruises around 300 mph and your speed gets up around 450+ 😉
