The plane's average speed during the flight is 381.43 miles per hour.

The average speed is the quotient of the total distance covered during the flight divided by the total time used.

The Average Speed is the scalar quantity that shows the rate of change in displacement from one point to another.

The distance for the first miles = 1,295 miles

The time it took the plane to cover the distance = 3 hours 33 minutes

The distance for the last lap = 738 miles

The time it took the plane to cover the last distance = 1 hour 47 minutes

The total distance covered for the journey = 2,033 miles (1,295 + 738)

The total time for the journey = 5 hours 20 minutes or 5.33 hours

Average Speed = 2,033/5.33

= 381.43 miles per hour

Thus, the plane's average speed during the flight is 381.43 miles per hour.
