All PlanetSide aircraft are slow.

The Mosquito going afterburners is slower than aircraft that fought in World War 2:

Ex. Mosquito clocks about 350 km/h, the American B-17G, a HEAVY BOMBER, could reach speeds beyond 400 km/h (of course, this is max speed, something a bomber rarely needs to reach). A better comparison: The Bf 109 G-6 could go past 600 km/h, and the P-51D Mustang and Tempest Mk V could go past 700 km/h.

I think the ESFs are slower because they aren't jets or propellers. Whatever they use is obviously slower that the two, but provide incredible control over the aircraft with rapid acceleration. Like the guy above, the ESFs seem to be like single seat helicopters.

The Liberator... I guess attack helicopter meets AC-130/other gunship, while the Galaxy and Valkyrie are large and small transport choppers, respectively.

Other times, I doubt the speed system in this game. A diving aircraft should speed up rapidly, instead of stopping at a certain number.
