An aircraft is moving through air, so when the air moves, the plane moves too, especially when the wind comes from the side. When, for example, the wind is very strong, and the airplane flies with the wind, the velocity of the air adds to the velocity of the aircraft and the aircraft will move faster, and to the contrary, a plane flying against the wind will be flying slower than in still air. Pilots use this effect when choosing landing approach path to reduce touchdown speed.
Extreme example of this is the Jet Stream - very strong wind that occurs over the Mediterranean Sea and parts of North America, with wind speeds over 300mph/500kph, which can effectively stop an airplane in mid-air. The amount of movement is tied to plane body's air friction, shape, engine(s) power and mass.

How does the Coriolis effect impact the flight paths of airplanes?
The Coriolis effect causes the rotation of the Earth to deflect the path of moving objects, including airplanes. This effect influences the direction of winds at different latitudes, which can affect the flight paths of airplanes by causing them to veer off course slightly. Pilots must account for the Coriolis effect when planning their routes to ensure they reach their destinations accurately and efficiently.
How does the Coriolis effect impact the flight path of an airplane?
The Coriolis effect causes the rotation of the Earth to deflect the path of moving objects, including airplanes. This effect can cause airplanes to veer off course slightly, especially on long-distance flights. Pilots must account for the Coriolis effect when planning their routes to ensure they reach their destinations accurately.

How does the Coriolis effect impact the flight paths of planes?
The Coriolis effect causes the rotation of the Earth to deflect the path of moving objects, including planes. This effect influences the direction of winds and can result in curved flight paths for planes traveling long distances. Pilots must account for this when planning routes to ensure efficient and safe travel.
