Why is the speed of the plane barely noticeable?

Airplanes fly at almost 1,000 km/h, and passengers and pilots don't notice it during flight, except during takeoff. Why is that? Especially the Concorde at 2,000 km/h, not even the F22 can keep up with that.

there is not even the F22

Where does the F22 come from? A supersonic passenger fighter? I laugh dead. The F22 is more powerful than a Concord in all aviation areas.

One notices the speed only a little in a phase of acceleration (braking is also an acceleration). The flicker skins are moved in the arcs of the human equilibrium organ because the liquid moves in the arcs. This movement of the hairs is perceived as acceleration (positive or negative, completely hump). If an acceleration is constant over a longer period of time, the hairs are set up again, and you feel nothing more. Only when the constant acceleration stops, you notice something again. If you fly at a constant speed, the hairs don't move, and you can't feel any more of the speed.

Because it is irrelevant and Newton's first law says that a body that stands or moves even will retain this movement until a force acts on it from the outside. When the aircraft starts, the acceleration force that pushes you into the seat. Once at the top of the travel flight speed, no strength will work on you, so you don't feel anything.

Do you notice that you, together with Earth, travel over a million kilometers per hour? No, you don't. Because speeds are not perceptible. One can only feel acceleration or deceleration. Therefore, even in aircraft, the speed is relatively irrelevant, only the acceleration is noticeable.

the earth does not turn 1 million kmh😂

The earth moves around the sun, the sun moves together with the earth and the other planet through the Milky Way, the Milky Way also moves through the universe.

Yes. We move around the Milk Road with our solar system at about 1,000,000km/h.

Bullshit. The speed is approximately 1670 km/h (surface area / 24h)

The solar system and the Milky Way also move through the universe. All these speeds are added, on average, about 1 million km/h

I never claimed. I just said the Earth was moving pretty fast. I didn't set the reference point, you mistakenly thought.

Yeah, well, then you have to define what axis it is because of the Earth certainly not.

You can't feel speed, but you move through a medium.

However, this is not the case in an aircraft as you do not move relative to the aircraft (and the air in it). Therefore, you can only feel the acceleration forces caused by changes in flight speed, flight direction or flight situation.

So if you want to feel the flight speed, open the window and keep your head out. But write a will beforehand and don't forget the organ donation card. ;

Do you notice in the car when you drive on the highway that you are on the road with 130, except there are ground waves? Has something to do with acceleration. You don't notice a constant speed as you move along with the vehicle.

If you didn't know you were driving 50 by car then it would be the same as there are no overhaul maneuvers like cyclists or houses on the edge of which you would orient yourself.

Very simple: speed is a force-free condition, only acceleration is noticeable.

Because you can feel the forces acting on the body. If one accelerates, one senses the force effect. If the speed remains constant, no forces act on the body
