Question 490279: true or false ?
a plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! False.
----------
You should specify the frame of reference for the speed measurements.
The airspeed of the plane will be the same --> false.
The groundspeed of the plane will be greater traveling "with the wind." --> also false
--------------
"with the wind" is a tail-wind, and the speeds are added to get the groundspeed.
"against the wind" is a head-wind, and the windspeed is subtracted from the airspeed.
