What else can I help you with?
How many knots is the minimum speed for a wind aloft to be termed a jet stream?
60 knots is the minimum speed for a wind aloft to be termed as a jet stream..
What are the wind on Everest called?
The wind on Mount Everest is called the summit wind. This wind comes from the jet stream and can reach speed of up to 70 miles per hour.
What are bands of high speed wind high above Earth's surface that can affect weather?
The Jet Stream
A plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream?
No, a plane flying against a jet stream will travel slower than a plane traveling with a jet stream. The jet stream is a high-altitude wind that can either boost or hinder an aircraft's speed depending on the direction of travel in relation to it. Flying with the jet stream provides a tailwind, increasing the aircraft's ground speed, while flying against it results in a headwind, reducing the ground speed.
Can clouds ride the jet stream?
Clouds are pushed by wind currents, including the jet stream, but they do not "ride" the jet stream like a vehicle would. The jet stream can affect the position and movement of clouds, but clouds are not carried along by the jet stream in the same way that a plane might be.
How is thrust related to the speed of an airplane?
As trust increases, speed increases. Providing the angle of attack, and the wind speed stay the same.
How many knots is the minimum speed for a wind aloft to be termed a jet stream?
60 knots is the minimum speed for a wind aloft to be termed as a jet stream..
Does wind move at the same speed?
No. Wind speed varies greatly depending on the weather.
What are the wind on Everest called?
The wind on Mount Everest is called the summit wind. This wind comes from the jet stream and can reach speed of up to 70 miles per hour.
How does a bird stay in the air?
Because of their wings and the wind speed outside.
Why when its windy and you're cycling does the wind never push you from behind?
It does. Usually, you'll be riding at about the same speed as the windspeed. If you and the wind is moving in the same direction, at the same speed, then you're not moving in relation to the wind. For you to feel the wind pushing you along, you have to be slower than the wind.
What are bands of high speed wind high above Earth's surface that can affect weather?
The Jet Stream
An airplane flies 500 miles with the wind and 340 miles against the wind in the same length of timeIf the speed of the wind is 40 what is the speed of the airplane in still air?
Air speed or ground speed?
A plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream?
No, a plane flying against a jet stream will travel slower than a plane traveling with a jet stream. The jet stream is a high-altitude wind that can either boost or hinder an aircraft's speed depending on the direction of travel in relation to it. Flying with the jet stream provides a tailwind, increasing the aircraft's ground speed, while flying against it results in a headwind, reducing the ground speed.
What is isotachs contours?
These are lines of equal wind speed. They are most often contoured in the upper levels of the atmosphere, especially at the jet stream level. They are important for locating the jet stream and jet streaks within a jet stream
Can clouds ride the jet stream?
Clouds are pushed by wind currents, including the jet stream, but they do not "ride" the jet stream like a vehicle would. The jet stream can affect the position and movement of clouds, but clouds are not carried along by the jet stream in the same way that a plane might be.
What is a change of speed and direction of wind at different altitudes in the same column?
Wind shear is the change in speed and direction of wind at different altitudes in the same column. It can create turbulence and impact aircraft operations.
