The Boeing 737-700 can fly with a maximum speed of 876 km/h (544 mph) and a cruising speed of 828 km/h (514 mph). The 737-700C is a convertible version where the seats can be removed to carry cargo instead.

The British-built Fairey Delta 2 (FD2) monoplane was filmed travelling at a blistering 1,811 km/h (1,132 mph) on 10 March 1956, making it the first aircraft to break the 1,000-mph barrier. This also secured it the world air-speed record, although that was surpassed by the McDonnell F-101A Voodoo on 12 December 1957.
Small turboprops usually reach speeds around 300 to 400 mph, while business jets and ultra-long-range jets can reach up to 700mph. On average, you can expect your private jet to fly at speeds between 350 and 650 mph.
The 737 MAX 8 has a maximum range of 3,550 nautical miles (6,570 km / 4,082 miles). For reference, the distance from Los Angeles International Airport to New York City's LaGuardia Airport is 2,146 nautical miles (3,974 km / 2,469 miles).
DALLAS ? The most-sold commercial aircraft, the Boeing 737 series, has an average range of between 5,000 and 7,000 km, depending on the variant. With this range, most commercial flights last a maximum of seven hours, depending on weight and other restrictions.
Examining all flights using Flightradar24 reveals that it had an average flight time (not block time) to Melbourne of 7h 39m and 8h 0m back. The longest inbound was 8h 22m, flown on February 5th. What is your longest narrowbody flight?
A Boeing 737-700 ER can fly more than 12 hours; other models vary depending on the fuel tanks that are installed. Standard tanks allow around seven hours.
Configured in a single-class layout with 189 seats, Ryanair's Boeing 737-800s are the mainstay of the airline's fleet. Because of the low fares, I tend to think of Ryanair flights as like being on a bus in the air, as the seats do not recline and there is no in-flight entertainment.
Techincally, there is only one way for the aircraft to remain hanging motionless in the air: if weight and lift cancel each other out perfectly, and at the same time thrust and drag cancel each other out too. But this is incredibly rare. To stay in the air and sustain its flight, an aircraft needs to be moving forward.
A Boeing 737 has a glide ratio of about 19.5:1(Dependent on how much fuel/cargo onboard) so at 30 000 feet, you could glide for approximately 110 miles until you reach sea level. Airliners are made to be VERY efficient. So keep the aircraft moving using as little power(fuel) as possible makes for a very nice glider.
Answer: The direct answer is yes, but there are other considerations that have to be taken into account, such as increased fuel burn and maximum safe speed.
In jet aircraft, an overspeed results when the axial compressor exceeds its maximal operating rotational speed. This often leads to the mechanical failure of turbine blades, flameout and total destruction of the engine.
