Boeing 767 Low-altitude Top Speed Options

[Guest_Ningen_*]

Does anyone know how fast a Boeing 767 can fly at low altitude? The top speed at cruising altitude is over 500 mph, but I've heard the following about flight at 700 feet altitude:

The power plant will max out at 330 mph.

The plane will begin to shake itself apart at over 220 mph.

At 700 feet altitude, the air is so thick that if you go too fast you max the rotation of the turbines, the engines can't suck in air, and the engine starts acting as a brake.

Does this make sense?

Where could I get more detailed information about flight limitations (or whatever you call it) of the Boeing 767?

Thank you.

I am not sure how to use this thing, so sorry if this is wrong.

I am working on a similar project, video to come, and so far I made this page.
Top speed for a 767 is 898 kph/558 mph and that is at an altitude of about 30,000 feet, source: http://www.zap16.com/civ%20fact/civ%20Boeing%20767-200.htm at 30,000 feet the atmosphere is 1/3 the thickness of atmosphere at 700 feet. This would cause approximately 3 times as much drag so the top speed would be about 1/3 of the top speed at 30,000 feet, or about 200 to 300 mph at best, and that is with no wind.

In a youtube video 175 travels 720 feet in 1.06 seconds = 720 Feet per Second = 490.90 Miles per Hour

Debris of the airplane are visible in this video "unseen footage 9/11", 7minutes10 seconds after his beginning:

A suspicious debris?
