Question 894381: Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 7380km in 9 hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 6300km in 5 hours. What is the rate of the plane in still air and what is the rate of the wind? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the 2 groundspeeds, upwind and downwind.
The plane's airspeed is the average.
Windspeed is the difference between airspeed and groundspeed.

The "rate of the plane in still air" is not used by anyone that flies.
