U must fly 2 another aircraft carrier 1400 km NE of ur Position, [e-mail] E.?

Question

the wind is blowing from the south at 70KM/hr. Calculate the heading and air speed needed to reach the carrier 2.5 hrs after u take off

Answer 1

It is not done that away any more. They have vector beacons at many locations and u fly the pattern to your destination. Many of the ships have beacons that would be good for 200 miles.

Answer 2

Plane is required to land in 2.5 hours. By that time, the destination carrier will be 50 (km/hr)*2.5 hr East of its original position. Sum that displacement vector with the carrier's original position (with respect to the plane's origin) to find the part of the ocean that the carrier will be found. That gives you heading and distance of flight.

You have the length of the trip, time, and compass heading, so you can calculate velocity V with respect to a point on the Earth. (This is not air-speed.) The wind is a velocity and the plane's air-speed is a velocity. Those 2 vectors need to sum to the velocity V with respect to a point on the Earth.
