If the air route from Chicago to Los Angeles is 1800 miles, how long will it take for the second plane to pass the first plane? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi,
Flight time to Chicago:
1st is 3.16 hr
2nd is 2.65 hr
2nd leaving an hour after the 1st, 1st will be on the ground in Chicago
before the 2nd would have a chance of passing it.
