A jet stream, which is a fast-flowing air current in the atmosphere, can significantly impact a flight from New York to Los Angeles. If the plane encounters a strong tailwind from the jet stream, it can reduce flight time and fuel consumption. Conversely, if the jet stream presents a headwind, it could lead to longer flight times and increased fuel usage. Pilots often plan flight paths to take advantage of favorable jet streams or avoid adverse conditions.
It is false that a plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream.
No.
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.
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
no it did not make any difference
It depends on whether you are driving by car, going by bus, taking the train, or flying by plane.
because when you are flying and the jet stream is going the opposite way your plane is then it will be more difficult to fly there, or if you are going the same way as the jet stream then you could get to your destination faster.
Flying in a plane has always been open to the public.
This due to planes travelling in jet streams which are air currents flowing west to east. Flying west to east takes less time as the plane with the jet stream. If a plane flies east to west the flight time can be significantky increased as it is flying against the air current.
Due to the "tail wind (not sure if that is the technical name)." I have never made the flight, although I have heard on various learning channels that there is a "tail wind" going out to NY, however when you head back to CA you are going into the "tail wind" therefor it slows down the plane and consumes more fuel in the process
No, your internal organs do not expand on a plane while flying. However, changes in cabin pressure and altitude can cause temporary changes in air pressure which may affect your body, but it should not cause your organs to expand.
The Jet-stream certainly does. Planes can use the jet-stream to reduce the amount of fuel it takes to travel from one side of the planet to the other. This is because - so long as the jet-stream is flowing in the same direction the plane wants to travel - it can 'push' the plane forward, which uses less fuel.
