Re: Re: Re: Last chance...
I wrote, "Assuming that the airmass is completely uniform, that every molecule of air at that certain altitude moved the exact same distance and direction during the duration of the experiment,". It was, and is, an easy assumption to make. Here's why. Super 80 wrote, "(Air Force types and engineers will not get the solution, but the new guys getting their private license will.)
I was attempting to answer the question that Super80 posed by using all of the information he gave, and his hint about engineers was an important piece of information. That hint screemed that the solution was basic, conceptual, and not detail oriented. The concept of moving with the airmass is a concept that student pilots learn. He also wrote that the first airplane could be considered to take an "instant turn". That also, showed that this was not a real life scenarion, but a conceptual exercise.
So, to me, the answer was going to be one that was a basic concept.
If ya'll don't agree with the question, fine, I'm ok with that, I was just answering the question that was asked.
Like I said, I'm not an engineer.

Enigma came up with YOUR answer because he made the assumptions you wanted him to make. The jury's still out on the RIGHT answer.
