To determine how many planes will land in one hour, we first need to calculate how many 8-minute intervals fit into one hour.

1 hour = 60 minutes.
60 minutes / 8 minutes = 7.5

This means that there are 7.5 intervals of 8 minutes in one hour.

Next, since 4 planes land every 8 minutes, we can find the total number of planes that land in one hour by multiplying the number of intervals by the number of planes that land during each interval.

Total planes = Number of intervals × Planes per interval
Total planes = 7.5 × 4 = 30

Therefore, 30 planes will land in one hour.
