Default Taxi speed

Hi,

What is the normal and maximum taxi speed (in knots) for an RJ, 737, and 747
in normal operations? I'm just using those as examples, feel free to
mention any others. Also, I'm not looking for maximums or AFM limiations,
just the day-in day-out taxi speeds and the maximum that a crew would use to
get to the runway for an expedited takeoff.


My guess here is that if you're taxiing fast enough to get an
indication on the airspeed indicator (tape display?) you're going too
fast... (unless you're heading upwind maybe) I don't know if there is
a max taxi speed, usually it's at the pilot's discretion - interesting
question though.
