I guess it’s not just Infinite Flight pilots that taxi at the speed of sound.

The Global Hawks are based out of Naval Air Station Sigonella, on the island of Sicily. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe they’re current mission is to monitor/recon the war in Ukraine

Welcome to the lair of the avgeeks, brother
Nice catch!
To be fair he is on a runway so speed restrictions wouldn’t matter then I guess.

Well typically 30 knots GS is the maximum you can taxi on a runway. I suppose since its a military facility, the rules can get a little bent.

He said taxi…
theres no taxi speed limitations on a runway
In infinite flight yeah, but some airports will use a runway as a taxiway and enforce restrictions.

In real aviation, 20 knots is the maximum ground speed for a standard taxiway, and 30 knots is the maximum taxi speed for a runway, such as during back-taxiing. Obviously, the rules get bent a little from airport to airport, but that is the widely recognized rule.

A good example is Chicago midway where runway 31R is being used as taxiway H.
Just yesterday, I was looking at KMDW building that flight plan for you, and I realized that KMDW doesn’t have any published departure procedures, other than radar vectors.
