There is not really a designation for 'private' airplanes, but when referring to 2-4 passenger airplanes that may be used by private pilots, the range really depends on the aircraft and whether it has an available option for extended fuel tanks installed.

Looking at Cessna's site on their single engine comparison page, you can see the various ranges of these planes, which can be anywhere from apprx 470 nautical miles for a 2 seat SkyCatcher to 1395 nautical miles for their 4 seat 350 Corvalis. Other manufacturers may have similar comparisons on their sites (Piper, Mooney, etc)

In a multi-engine aircraft how does a single engine flight effect the range of the aeroplane?

-To achieve maximum range in level flight, the aircraft must be flown at a speed which produces minimum drag. This however will only be true in no wind. -When flying into a headwind max range will be reduced and when flying in a tailwind max range will be increased. -Single engine flight effects range of the aeroplane because it increases the total drag on the aeroplane so the range is decreased.

An airplane's usual speed?

Small single-engined airplanes seldom exceed 140 mph, with more complex single- and twin- engine piston aircraft reaching 200 - 250 mph. Turboprop aircraft generally cruise in the 300 - 350 mph range, while nearly all jets (except military aircraft) cruise between 450 and 600 mph.

Do airplanes with bigger wings fly farther than airplanes with smaller wings?

Not necessarily. Wing size is just one factor that affects an airplane's range. Other factors, such as fuel capacity, engine efficiency, and weight, also play a significant role in determining how far an airplane can fly.


Which country has the best fighter aircrafts?

1. Japan had the longest range single engine fighter airplane (A6M Zero) in WWII, until the war was nearly half over with. 2. The US had the most rugged & heavily gunned single engine airplane of the second world war; the P47 Thunderbolt (8 fifty caliber machine guns). 3. The US Navy had the most heavily armed, most maneuverable, most rugged, and fast aerial killer...the Grumman Hellcat, which also killed a few German airplanes in Europe, besides its usual Japanese aircraft. 4. The US had the most powerful & largest bomber of WWII, the B29 Superfortress. The only bomber of WWII that could fly far & carry atomic bombs. European nations (Britain, Germany, Italy, etc.) ALL HAD SHORT RANGE AIRPLANES. They were all practically restricted to Europe with no strategic capabilities. A world war needs unrestricted airplanes (they need to have long range).
