Asked by stormy
an aircraft with an airspeed of 295km/hr is heading south. wind blowing from East at 30km/hr is against the aircraft.
1) sketch the information clearly showing all angles and vectors.
2) calculate the resultant speed and direction of the aircraft

2. X = -30 km/h = velocity of the wind.
Y = -295 km/h.=velocity of the aircraft.
Q3.
tan A = y/x = -295/-30 = 9.83333.
A = 84.2o S. of W. = direction.
Vr = y/sin A=-295/-sin84.2 = 296.5 km/h.
Y = -295 km/h.=velocity of the aircraft.
