To convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour, we can multiply the speed in kilometers per hour by the conversion ratio:
Speed in miles per hour = Speed in kilometers per hour * Conversion ratio
Speed in miles per hour = 900 km/hr * 0.62 miles/km
Speed in miles per hour = 558 miles/hr
Therefore, the airplane's speed in miles per hour is 558.
