Airplane speed in relation to earth rotation

[tonil]

If an airplane would be traveling 1000km per hour in line with the direction of earth rotation, and had to a reach destination 1000km far away, it would reach that destination later then if it would need to reach destination 1000km far away,traveling 1000km per hour , but in the opposite direction of earths rotation ?

You need to research: escape velocity

Also: gravity

It’s the same reason why when you jump on the spot, you don’t end up a few metres down the road.

The air also rotates at the earth’s speed. If it didn’t, we would have constant 1000 km/h winds.

I think the answer is 1000km

I think the answer is 1000km

According to TS's physics, jumping as an airplane passenger midflight would be a death sentence.

Um the coriolis effect isn't real and the earth doesn't rotate like ball, atleast there is no experimental evidence to prove we are spinning on a ball and if we were then the calculations for motion would still be the same, there is a famous Einstein quote saying as much but I don't want to go find it

the end of this is the earth is flat so might as well just jump to the end and get it over with

Average flight times

London to NY 7hr 45m.
NY to London 6hr 55m.

So proved or it's just down to the prevailing winds, you decide but it's the winds not the rotation so if you went rotation then you're wrong.

London to NY is heading against the rotation (which is why Concorde arrived at an earlier time in NY than it was in London at the start of the flight, it took 3.5 hours and the time difference is 5 hours so you landed 90 mins before you took of in terms of local time) so if this was a thing then it'd be much quicker that way but it's not.

I think yes b/c when I have flights to and from a destination I always have 1 flight that's shorter in time than the other. I'd say it's shorter b/c of the rotation. Or maybe the jetstream or winds or some crap.

that's interesting .
so is it b/c of the rotation or the wind like congo mentioned ?

Don’t Snipers account for the rotation of the earth on super long shots?

So I read and found out about the Coriolis effect. Here's what I learned though it was a quick learning session so certainly no expert yet - So the earth's rotation doesn't necessarily make the flight quicker b/c you are flying into the rotation, BUT the earth's rotation is what causes the prevailing winds and jetstream which does make the plane able to fly faster than therefore you get to your destination quicker. So a flight from LA to NY is faster than a flight from NY to LA b/c the earth's rotation creates winds that "push" you to the East faster.

So the answer I think would be yes, in an indirect way

edit: quick check.....it's actually opposite. The earth's rotation affect flight time indirectly, but it's not faster to fly "into" the rotation, it's faster to flight with the rotation of the earth b/c that's the way the winds are moving.
