Flying against the wind, the trip takes 1 hour 30 minutes. What is the speed of the airplane in still air, and the speed of the wind? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the 2 groundspeeds using d = r*t
r = d/t
----
The plane's airspeed is the average of the 2.
The windspeed is the difference between airspeed and groundspeed.
