An airplane flew for 4.23 hours with a 25.5-kmhr tail wind. The return flight against the same wind took 4.97 hours. Find the speed of the plane in still air?
Let the land distance travelled be d km
Let the speed of the plane in still air be s km/h
time = distance / speed
On the first flight: 4.32 hr = d km / (s + 25.5) km/h → d km = 4.32 × (s + 25.5) km
On the second flight: 4.97 hr = d km / (s - 25.5) km/h → d km = 4.97 × (s - 25.5) km
→ 4.32 × (s + 25.5) = 4.97 × (s - 25.5)
→ 4.32s + 25.5 × 4.32 = 4.97s - 25.5 × 4.97
→ 4.97s - 4.32s = 4.97 × 25.5 + 4.32 × 25.5
→ (4.97 - 4.32)s = 25.5 × (4.97 + 4.32) × 25.5
→ s = 25.5 × (4.97 + 4.32)/(4.97 - 4.32) ≈ 364.45 km/h

An airplane flew for 4 hours with a 20 km hr tailwind The return flight against the same wind took 5 hours Find the speed of the airplane in still air?
Let the speed of the airplane in still air be represented by V.Velocity = Distance ÷ Time, thus Distance = Velocity x Time.D = 4(V + 20) = 5(V - 20), then 4V + 80 = 5V - 100 : V = 180 kphThe speed in still air is 180kph
N airplane flew for 6 hours against a tail wind of 25 kmhr The return trip with the same wind took 5 hours Find the speed of the airplane in still air?
Very interesting. This was obviously a Wonderland Airlines flight, on a route where a tailwindslowed them down and a headwind sped them up.But we understand what you're trying to say.6 (S - 25) = 5 (S + 25)Eliminate parentheses:6S - 150 = 5S + 125Add 150 to each side:6S = 5S + 275Subtract 5S from each side:S = 275When the wind helps, ground speed is 300, the craft covers 1,500 in 5 hours.When the wind hurts, ground speed is 250, the craft covers 1,500 in 6 hours.
Why is flight FROM Atlanta to Jamaica 2 Hours and the return trip 4 Hours?
you did'nt use the same transportation,or you felt like being a s and say the weather was bad

something to do with turbulants?
When is an aircraft considered in flight?
Flight is considered to be when the weight of the aircraft is off the ground. The definition can be more complicated if you want to apply for a record. "Powered Flight" is demonstrated by an airplane that can fly on its own power and is not dropped from a height. To test this, they usually required the airplane to fly a circuitous route or fly out a distance and return. This was to ensure that the aircraft was not being lifted by a strong wind.

Can I enter Canada without a return flight?
If you are not a Canadian citizen, you can not board a flight to Canada without a return ticket. Buy a return, make sure that the return flight date can be changed.

Do you have to get on your return flight?
yes or you will be stranded, omg guys,we cant have that cant we? Obviously! I'm saying it's cheaper to get a return flight instead of one way... Can I book a return and not get on it?
I am going to the US in January and I have booked a return flight This is my first time flying alone If I miss my flight home or cancel the return flight will I be charged and how much?
It depends on the type of ticket that you have. The simple solution is not to miss your flight!
Do you need to have a return flight to enter Australia as tourist?
A tourist visa is valid for no more then 90 days, and you must have "proof" (an airplane or boat ticket home or to another country) of leaving the country within that time or you will not be allowed to enter.In actuality, you will not be allowed to board the flight to get to Australia without proof of having a ticket to leave.
