The RB211-524s at take-off power had jet velocities around 1500 ft/s in the hot jet and about 1000 ft/s in the bypass, which as previously stated is locally subsonic.

More recent civil aircraft will have lower velocities, mainly because of noise regulations. I believe the Trent is around 1100-1200 ft/s but can't be sure.
