An airplane flies 840 mi in 3 hours with a tail wind The return trip at the same airspeed takes 3.5 hours Find the wind speed and the airspeed?
u said airspeed remains the same, so 840 mi in 3 hrs the groundspeed is 280, for the return trip groundspeed is 240, therfore the wind speed is 40
A plane headed due E is traveling at airspeed of 190 mph The winds are moving with constant speed in the direction 240 degrees If the ground speed of the plane is 95mph what is the speed of the winds?
To find the speed of the winds, we can use the concept of vector components. The ground speed of the plane (95 mph) is the result of the vector sum of the airspeed of the plane (190 mph) and the speed of the winds (w mph). We can find the horizontal component of the airspeed by multiplying 190 mph by the cosine of the angle between the airspeed and the ground direction (240 - 90 = 150 degrees). Thus, the speed of the winds is 70 mph.
How long will it take to go 120 nautical miles at airspeed of 90 knots?
120/90 = 1hour 20minutes , with no wind .
If an airplane lands with an airspeed of 120 miles per hour into a 20 mile per hour headwind the airplanes ground speed is?
100 mph
What is a TTU 205?
TTU-205 is a air data test set. it's used to calibrate the airspeed, altitude and air data computer on the airplane.
