What is the average aircraft climb rate?

For example, a commercial airliner may have a rate of climb of around 1,500 ft/min during cruise, while a military fighter jet can climb at a rate of up to 20,000 ft/min. During takeoff, the rate of climb can be even higher, with commercial airliners typically climbing at around 2,500-3,500 ft/min.

In aviation, the rule of three or 3:1 rule of descent is a rule of thumb that 3 nautical miles (5.6 km) of travel should be allowed for every 1,000 feet (300 m) of descent. For example, a descent from flight level 350 would require approximately 35x3=105 nautical miles.
