False.
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "You should specify the frame of reference for the speed measurements.
\n" ); document.write( "The airspeed of the plane will be the same --> false.
\n" ); document.write( "The groundspeed of the plane will be greater traveling \"with the wind.\" --> also false
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"with the wind\" is a tail-wind, and the speeds are added to get the groundspeed.
\n" ); document.write( "\"against the wind\" is a head-wind, and the windspeed is subtracted from the airspeed.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
