How does wind affect the planes course?
It depends on which way the wind is blowing. Because if the wind is blowing into the side of the plane then the pilot has to fight against the wind just to keep the plane on course.
If a plane can travel at 490 miles per hour with the wind and 430 miles per hour against the wind what is the speed of the plane in still air?
Wind speed is 30 while the plane speed it 460
Does a plane takeoff into the wind?
it helps generally to take off into the wind because it gives the plane more lift
If a plane can travel 490 miles per hour with the wind and 430 miles per hour against the wind what is the speed of the plane in still air?
Correct answer is 440.
A plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream?
false because if you think of a paper airplane flying against the wind it will fall faster then the paper airplane flying with the wind
Will A plane traveling against jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with jet stream?
false because if you think of a paper airplane flying against the wind it will fall faster then the paper airplane flying with the wind
A six passenger plane cruises at 180 mph in calm air If the plane flies 7 miles with the wind in the same amount of time as it flies 5 miles against the wind then what is the wind speed?
120mph!!
A plane can travel 640 miles against the wind in the same time it can travel 800 miles with the wind If the plane can fly 180 mph in calm air what is the speed of the wind?
Calm air is still. Zero.
Wind required for airplane to take off?
Yes a head wind and flaps set to mid for wing configuration
How many ways can a plane take off?
any way as long as the wind is facing towards it ...
How does wind help a paper plane fly?
The wind pushes the plane helping it stay in the air.
How much faster can an airplane fly with prevailing winds than against prevailing winds?
The speed difference will be twice the wind difference. Example: Speed of plane (without wind) = 500 km/h, speed of wind = 100 km/h. In this case, the airplane's speed against the wind will be 500 - 100 = 400 km/h, and with prevailing wind, its speed will be 500 + 100 = 600 km/h. These numbers are just examples, actual numbers will vary, depending on the speed of the plane, and the speed of the wind.
