What is the top average speed of a plane?

You can have a top speed and you can have an average speed, but you can't have a top average. Top average is like saying exactly approximately. Leaving that it's very much dependent on the type of aeroplane. The first planes weren't faster than scooters, while today fighter aircraft will easily do twice the speed of sound. Pick a plane type and vintage first, then you can find out how fast it can go.
