Optimum speed varies with route length, direction and stage distance; on North Atlantic route favorable block speeds from timetable point of view are 200 mph and 600 mph, while supersonic airliners should cruise at over 1400 mph; higher speeds result in lower aircraft utilization but production of capacity-ton-miles is considerably increased.
