There are 5,280 feet in a mile, and 6 miles is 6 x 5,280 feet, or 31,680 feet. To climb 31,680 feet at a rate of 2,500 feet per minute takes 31,680 feet divided by 2,500 feet per minute or about 12.67 minutes, or a tad more than 12 minutes and 40 seconds.

Why is the altitude of the sun measured in degrees above the horizon - rather than in feet and meters like aircraft?

The altitude of aircraft is measured above the ground, not above the horizon, and it's a distance. The altitude of the sun is not measured above the ground, and it's not a distance. If it were, it would always be some number near 93 million miles. The altitude of the sun is the angle that an observer sees between his horizon and the sun, and it's different for different observers in different places.


whats the difference between descent and final approach?

A: Descent is the phase during which the aircraft descends from its cruising altitude to its approach altitude. This phase typically occurs several miles before the runway and involves a gradual reduction in altitude and speed as the aircraft prepares to land. Final approach, on the other hand, is the phase of the landing process where the aircraft is lined up with the runway and descends towards it. This phase occurs closer to the runway and typically involves a steeper descent and a more rapid reduction in speed as the aircraft prepares to touch down on the runway.


When was Miles Aircraft created?

Miles Aircraft was created in 193#.


What if your altitude is 8000 feet your speed is 180 mph and you can descend at 500 feet per minute How far from your destination should you begin to descend?

48 miles. my math is, if you are going 180 mph that is 3 miles per minute and you it would take you 16 minutes to decend 8000 feet at 500 per minute 16 (how long) X 3 (how fast) = 48 miles


What is the fastist airplane?

The fastest manned aircraft ever flown was the North American X-15. The fastest flight was flown on October 3, 1967 by pilot Pete Knight, he flew at 4,519 miles per hour. This aircraft was also capable of extreme altitude, the highest it ever flew was 67 miles.

What is the distance from earth to a jet plane?

Zero, if the jet plane is on the ground, otherwise it depends at what altitude the plane happens to be flying. Cruising altitude for many passenger airliners is around five to seven miles. Military aircraft often fly at much higher altitudes.


What is the altitude of thermosphere?

The altitude of the Thermosphere is from about 50 miles to 310 miles. The Thermosphere is the biggest of all layers of the Earth's atmosphere.


If an aircraft travels 120 miles in 12 minutes how fast is the aircraft going?

If an aircraft travels 120 miles in 12 minutes how fast is the aircraft going? The aircraft travels 120 miles in 12 minutes, which is 1/5 of an hour. Therefore, in 55 (one) hour, it would travel 5 Ɨ 120, or 600 miles. The aircraft is traveling 600 miles per hour.
