A plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream-?
It is false that a plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream.
Why do pilots depend on the jet streams?
In simple terms - they save fuel !... If you're flying in the same direction as a jet-stream is flowing - it takes less energy to maintain the plane's speed.
Which layer of atmosphere do jet pilots prefer flying?
stratosphere
Does a plane flying against a jet stream travel faster than a plane travelling with a jet stream?
No.
What do pilots take advantage of?
Pilots often take advantage of jet streams. If going in the same direction, jet stream can add up to 200mph to their ground speed.

Pilots conserve fuel by using high altitude winds what are they called?
"jet stream"
Do jetstreams aid eastbound airplanes?
Yes. Airlines sometimes change their flight planned routes to take advantage of the jet stream when flying East, and avoid the jet stream when flying West.
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
A plane climbs a jet stream at a rate of 80 miles per hour travels the jet stream for 5 hours flying out the jet stream for 4 hours while the jet stream covered 550 miles less than it did during 5 hou?
150
A plane climbs into the jet stream which is flowing at a rate of 80 miles per hour It travels with the jet stream for 5 hours and then reduces its altitude flying out of the jet stream for 4 more h?
150 mph
What are high speed winds used by pilots called?
That's the 'jet stream'.
