Best Answer

Somewhere around 100 knots or approx 100 mph.

AnswerWhile actual take off speed varies according to a number of factors, such as aircraft weight and density altitude, typically, a large transport type jet such as the B767 would rotate somewhere between 140 to 160 knots.

It takes about 3 steps to take off

1. V1(190knots)

2. V2(195knots)

3.Rotate(200knots), and take off

Is this still occurring after sound barrier was broken?

You don't specify what occurrences you are asking about.All passenger jets today travel at less than the speed of sound, and most military jets also fly at less than the speed of sound.There have been passenger jets run by Russia and by Concorde that traveled at greater than the speed of sound, but none are currently operating.Whenever any jet or vehicle breaks the sound barrier a sonic boom is generated. I believe there is some military technology to reduce the boom, but it does still occur.
