TAMPA, Fla. — A jet stream over the Atlantic last week propelled multiple flights to record speeds, significantly cutting down travel times for passengers. Strong winds pushed planes to speeds near 840 mph, resulting in early landings and shorter flight durations. An American Airlines flight to Doha, Qatar, reached a remarkable peak speed of 840 mph, while a United Airlines flight to Lisbon, Portugal, hit 835 mph. The high-altitude winds created by jet streams allowed planes to travel faster than the speed of sound, leading to unprecedented travel efficiencies. The phenomenon, attributed to convergence of wind streams over Florida and the middle Atlantic, showcases the power of natural elements in aviation. Travelers experienced a unique journey above the skies, propelled by incredible speeds, as airlines navigated through these powerful wind patterns.
