It means you have the doldrums (it's a sailing term).
A low-pressure nearly windless zone at the Equator is known as the doldrums.
If a plane is attempting to fly to the equator from the northern hemisphere, it would ideally travel southward along a great circle route. Depending on its flight path, weather conditions, and navigational choices, it could end up at any point along the equator in various countries, such as Ecuador, Brazil, or Kenya, among others. Ultimately, the destination would depend on the specific coordinates chosen for the equatorial point of arrival.
As planes fly over the equator, they are still subject to the laws of physics and aviation. However, there may be some minor adjustments made by the pilots to account for the slight variations in the Earth's rotation and the Coriolis effect at the equator. Overall, the flight experience for passengers remains largely unchanged.
American aviator Steve Fossett attempted to circumnavigate the Earth at the equator in the GlobalFlyer aircraft in 2005. He successfully completed the journey, setting a world record for the longest nonstop flight in aviation history.
In theory, any plane can fly around the world in an hour, regardless of size or speed. It depends on your definition of 'around the world'. No existing plane can do this at the equator. But any plane can fly along a line of latitude that has the same full length as the distance the plane can fly in one hour. The faster the plane, the farther from the poles its lines of latitude will be.
It would appear to fly east based on the Coriolis effect.
Birds do not fly all the way to the southern hemisphere, they fly to the equator.
Amelia Earhart
To fly round the world as near the Equator as possible.
To fly around the world as near as possible to equator.
She attempted to fly around the world as close to the equator as she could.
Yes, that was her stated aim.
No. Planes fly horizontally, but the concept of horizontal depends on the direction of gravity. Gravity pulls towards the center of the Earth, so "down" at the poles is the same as "down" at the equator, i.e. towards the center of the Earth.
It really depends. If you fly straight down to the equator, it would take 2-3 hours. However, if you decided to fly to the equator on the other side of the world, that might take just a little longer, probably in the 19-21 hour range depending on wind current and weather.
Anywhere in a clean and green garden of a place near equator.
It was to fly around the world as near to the equator as possible.
When gravity disappears, and pigs fly along with it.
no they fly with sugar spice and magic.....along with a little jet fuel
