I don't fly jets.

Both the Airbus and Boeing web sites have lots of info there.

Secondary source would be the flight simming community, they try to make it as real as possible. (www.avsim.com, www.flightsim.com) frugalsword.

Ballpark figures, 120 - 170 kts for landing and takeoff, (landing generally less as lighter).

I've seen 747's use an entire 11,000 foot rwy taking off in the summer, they generally can land in around ~5,000 feet. (i.e., slow down and taxi off the rwy in that distance). Lighter, smaller jets, progressively less rwy.
