GTA Online: 3 fastest planes in the game

GTA Online is known for the diverse range of vehicles it offers to its players. Cars are often the popular choice to get around in the game but planes- although tough to handle- can take you where you want to go in the blink of an eye.

Planes, therefore, make travel easier for players and are incredibly useful for completing heist missions. GTA Online has many types of planes based on price and speed.

Introduced in GTA Online as a part of the Heists Update, the Mammoth Hydra can reach a top speed of 209.25 miles per hour. This military jet has moderate acceleration due to its heavy body.

Once you activate the VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) mode, the plane’s performance increases significantly. The weaponry becomes easier to access but the manoeuvrability becomes a bit difficult. The landing also improves if the plane is in VTOL mode.
