\n" ); document.write( "Find the groundspeeds both ways.
\n" ); document.write( "d = r*t
\n" ); document.write( "r = d/t
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "The plane's airspeed is the average of the 2.
\n" ); document.write( "The windspeed is the difference between airspeed & groundspeed.
