- Comparing
- Speed ↔ Representative cruise speed
- Relative size
- 500 miles per hour is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.02. 500 miles per hour's selected measurement is approximately 1.6% greater than Antonov An-225 Mriya's.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Antonov An-225 Mriya uses a 792 km/h central value within a recorded range of 720 km/h–846 km/h.
- The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
