Algebra.Com's Answer #640303 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! A plane flying at its maximum speed can go 200 miles per hour with a tailwind or 160 miles per hour into a headwind. \n" ); document.write( "Those are groundspeeds, upwind and downwind. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "What would be the maximum speed of the plane if there were no wind? \n" ); document.write( "It's the average of the 2 groundspeeds. \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "What is the wind speed? \n" ); document.write( "It's difference between the airspeed and groundspeed. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
