Passenger planes can't fly at 55,000 feet. Gulfstream business jets can fly 51,000 feet altitude, and airliners like to cruise at 35,000 feet. Some military planes, like the U-2, can fly at 55,000 feet or greater.

A plane headed due E is traveling at airspeed of 190 mph The winds are moving with constant speed in the direction 240 degrees If the ground speed of the plane is 95mph what is the speed of the winds?

To find the speed of the winds, we can use the concept of vector components. The ground speed of the plane (95 mph) is the result of the vector sum of the airspeed of the plane (190 mph) and the speed of the winds (w mph). We can find the horizontal component of the airspeed by multiplying 190 mph by the cosine of the angle between the airspeed and the ground direction (240 - 90 = 150 degrees). Thus, the speed of the winds is 70 mph.


What is the traveling speed of a plane?

Depends on the plane, but most can do at least a couple hundred miles on hour, also depends on altitude, airpressure, and winds.

Trade winds. They go East to West.


What is the wind speed when a plane can not take off?

A plane cannot typically take off when winds speeds going from side to side or crosswinds, exceed 35 knots. Consistent winds in excess of 50 knots will shut down most airport operations.


Is it safe to fly in gusty winds?

It is harder to land in gusty winds. Generally the smaller the plane you are flying the more you get pushed around. In a larger plane like the ones flown by the major or regional airlines the planes have enough mass and the crews have enough training that you are safe.

If you were salling from central America to Asia just above the equator whiuch winds would help speed you on your way?

The trade winds, specifically the northeast trade winds in the Northern Hemisphere and the southeast trade winds in the Southern Hemisphere, would help speed you on your way from Central America to Asia just above the equator. These prevailing winds blow from east to west in the tropics and can provide efficient sailing conditions for eastward travel at those latitudes.
