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 kph

The 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.

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

In plne time of flight is not same in going and come back?

The time of a flight, especially internationally, may differ between initial and return flights because the aircraft is going in the opposite direction to the rotation of the Earth's axis in one, making it longer, and the same direction in the other, making it shorter. Note: Other factors such as wind and the type of aircraft may also play a part in flight time.

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.
