A light aircraft flies from A to B in a total time of 5 and half hours (5 1/2). Suppose that during the whole journey there is a constant wind blowing from A to B. If the speed of the aircraft in still air is 165Km/h, find the speed of the wind.

Sorry incorrect question..... :-D
Corrected question:
A light aircraft flies from A to B, 450 km away, and back from B to A in a total time of 5 and half hours (5 1/2). Suppose that during the whole journey there is a constant wind blowing from A to B. If the speed of the aircraft in still air is 165 km/h, find the speed of the wind.

You need to know the speed of the "constant wind" to solve this problem. (it may not be strong enough to affect the speed of the aircraft)

What is the distance? And how long it takes to fly this distance with minimum tail wind?
Otherwise, the only expression you get is as follows:
Speed = True speed + Tail Wind
