An airplane encountered a head of wind during a flight between Town A and Town B which took 4 hours and 24 minutes . The return flight takes 4 hours. If the distance from Town A to Town B is 1700 miles, find the airspeed of the plain (assuming it's the same) and the speed of the wind. Assuming both stay constant.
------------
Find the 2 groundspeeds, upwind and downwind.
The plane's airspeed is the average of the 2.
---
Windspeed is the difference between airspeed and groundspeed.
