    The Earth's rotation does not have an effect, but the prevailing westerly winds at high altitudes have a greater effect. There was a tailwind from Shanghai to New York and a headwind on the way back.

    Not if you don't take into account the natural factors. Because the plane is relatively stationary with the earth at takeoff. An analogy can be used:

    If you talk in a supersonic plane, the people in the cabin can still hear you, because you and the plane are relatively stationary. The speed of sound is simply relative velocity. What we are talking about is the relative speed of the aircraft.

    Strictly speaking, flying half the world in the east and west directions on the equator will experience different centripetal forces, like an airplane flying eastward will be slightly lighter than a plane flying westward, but this is insignificant.

    If the rotation of the earth has an effect on the aircraft. Then there is also an impact on the car. Your walking also has an effect.

    The truth is that it really matters. It's just too small, too small, too small, it's like if you ride a bicycle, it also has a relativistic effect, time slows down, and you're a little younger, but the value of this change is too small, too small, too small, you can't feel it.

    It doesn't matter.

    Wouldn't you think of an airplane as a fast car (if you don't take into account the monsoons and other external conditions)?

    According to the principle of centripetal force, the third session is influential but the impact is too small, the most important factor affecting the speed of the aircraft is the wind, the prevailing west wind at high altitude will fly faster from the west,

    The time difference is 1-2 hours, very simple, because of the wind.

    Because our earth is rotating all the time, and it can rotate once a day, some netizens began to consider whether the plane can reach the destination through the rotation of the earth, of course, this is possible, but the energy consumed is far greater than the current energy, so the current aircraft is the most efficient, and then I will give you a specific explanation. <>

    Gravitational pullIt's like a ropeTraction

    Some people do not have a deep understanding of gravity, thinking that gravity is just a downward force, in fact it is not like this, gravity is more like a force on a rope, we take a rope to turn things, this rope can not get rid of the shackles of force, only on the earth faster and faster, the centripetal force generated.

    Bigger and bigger, to be able to break away from the gravitational pull of the earth.

    At this time, you can use the rotation of the earth, otherwise you will be like the rotation of the earth, and you will remain in place. <>

    2.UtilizationThe rotation of the EarthThe energy consumed is greater.

    As explained above, if we want to take advantage of the rotation of the earth, first of all, we have to get rid of the gravitational influence of the earth as much as possible, in such a situation, we need a huge speed, the reason why the rocket can be launched into space is because the speed is large enough, but this requires a huge amount of energy, we just take an airplane, with such a large energy to get rid of the gravitational pull of the earth, it is very worthless. <>

    3.Today's planes are the most efficient.

    We generally fly hundreds of kilometers by plane, reaching more than 1000 kilometers is relatively rare, so we must pursue the most efficient way, we can reach the destination by the current way, if it is by getting rid of the earth's gravity, this way consumes too much energy, so it is not the most efficient, which is also an important reason why many people do not reach their destination through the rotation of the earth.

    All in all, although the rotation of the earth is very fast, we have no way to get rid of the gravitational pull of the earth, and we need to consume other energy to get rid of it, which is not an efficient way, so our current aircraft is more efficient, and there is no need to use the rotation of the earth to reach the destination.

    Hello, the plane cannot pass the rotation of the earth and then reach its destination because the plane stops in the air and likewise is subject to the gravitational pull of the earth. Nature also rotates with the rotation of the earth. We judge whether the plane has changed based on the ground, which is also a part of the earth, and will naturally rotate with the rotation of the earth.

    The plane, of course, is able to pass the rotation of the Earth and then return to its destination.

  12. Anonymous users2024-01-28

    Theoretically, yes, but it is still an unsolvable problem to keep the plane stationary in the air and the plane not to move because of the Earth's rotation.

  13. Anonymous users2024-01-27

    No, the plane will be left in space, and the destination and the direction of rotation are not the same, and there is a lot of air resistance, so there is no way to reach the destination.

  14. Anonymous users2024-01-26

    No. Because the Earth's rotation is so slow, and because of the influence of the gravitational magnetic field, such an idea is simply not possible.

    The plane will take the same amount of time to fly in the direction of the Earth's rotation than it will fly in the opposite direction, the Earth is rotating, but for all objects on the Earth, the Earth is stationary. For example, the 100-meter flyer has so many running results.

    Because all objects on the earth have a speed of rotation with the earth.

    The plane mainly flies in the stratosphere, without considering the convection, the aircraft has an initial velocity of rotation along the earth, and the rotation of the earth accelerates on this initial velocity, and the initial velocity of the reverse rotation of the earth must be reduced to zero and then accelerated in the opposite direction, so during this period of time, it is only decelerating relative to the rotation of the earth, not in the reverse rotation of the earth.

    That tirade is actually bullying people who haven't studied junior high school physics and don't understand centripetal acceleration. According to rough calculations, people near the equator only need meters every square second of acceleration to reach a speed of 1,600 kilometers per square second, and the earth only needs meters every square second to orbit the sun at a speed of 666,000 miles per hour. Sorry, a human with an acceleration of 1/227 and 1/16 of a meter per square second really doesn't really feel that much.

    Do you know what's wrong?You don't take into account the radius of revolution and rotation. The acceleration limit that the human body can withstand is about 9 times the acceleration of gravity.

    Aha, this should theoretically not be, because the inertia is actually synchronized, just like the speed at which you go to the front and the rear of the bus is the same, because you and the bus are both given an inertial velocity. If the bus stops, of course, you rely on inertia to go faster towards the front of the bus. But the problem is that both your plane and the earth are given a speed with the sun as a reference, your plane sits on the ground and travels 80,000 miles a day, but everything on the earth is also traveling 80,000 miles a day, and your speed is exactly the same, which is equivalent to being stationary, so you fly along and fly against the earth at the same speed.

    Because the inertia of the aircraft continues to exist, the plane adheres to the same linear velocity as the earth before and after takeoff, which has little to do with whether there is air or not, because the atmosphere also adheres to the same linear velocity as the air!

    Just think about the mosquitoes in the car, the car is driving at high speed, and the mosquitoes can still fly around the car very quietly, from the back to the front of the car, and the plane is to the earth what the mosquito is to the car!Of course, the premise is that the car windows are blocked, and in fact the earth's atmosphere can also be seen as blocked, because the earth's gravity is firmly "fixed"!The reason why many people think that the flight of the plane may be in a state of "hovering", some people even think that if they hover for 12 hours, they can reach the other side of the world!

    This kind of thinking is a typical cognitive limitation, if you isolate the plane from the earth, if this is the case, you just jump up and stay in the air for 1 second, you may have flown hundreds of meters in time and space!

    Of course, the plane can fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, but he has not broken away from the earth's atmosphere, so the flight of the plane is the same as the nature of our jumping, since we cannot jump up and separate the place, then the plane in the air, if I do not fly forward, just like hovering in the air, it is impossible to get out of the original position due to the rotation of the earth, this is a fact. Otherwise, many of our planet's creatures would not exist today. We all know that the speed of the earth's rotation and revolution is very fast, and if we jump and deviate from our original position due to the earth's rotation, then most of the creatures on the earth have flown without a trace.

    As another example, we should all fly the kite and run with a string, and of course the kite will follow us. Although we can't directly see the gravitational pull of the earth on the aircraft, in practice it is equivalent to a rope between the earth and the aircraft, and the earth pulls the plane to rotate together, so how does the plane "hover"? Even when the plane is out of the air, the rope (gravity) is constantly there!

    Inertia has always been there. Regardless of whether the plane leaves the earth or not, it is not long after leaving, and the flying hail bridge machine is cautious to take the rotating earth as a reference, and the speed of the aircraft is relative to the surface linear velocity of the earth's rotation, which has nothing to do with whether it is in contact with the earth or whether it is in the atmosphere. This is also the reason why the space launch chooses a place with a low latitude as much as possible, because the lower the latitude, the greater the rotation linear velocity, and the spacecraft can easily reach the first cosmic velocity with the help of this speed, and the rocket can save a lot of fuel, which is equivalent to increasing the capacity.

    The airplane is based on the earth, and the airplane has inertia. This will have little effect on the aircraft.

  22. Anonymous users2024-01-18

    This is because the plane will not have any impact on the surface of the earth after leaving the surface of the earth, and only need to consider the speed through the flow of air, so there is no need to consider the speed of the earth.

    The distance should not change, because the earth rotates, but the rotation of the earth does not affect some things in our lives.

    OK. For example, the maximum flight speed of the SR71A, an aircraft that has been used by the United States for many years, is Mach (2,193 knots, 4,062 kmh).

    And the maximum linear velocity of rotation of the Earth.

    It is the linear velocity of rotation at the Earth's equator, which is about 466 meters and seconds, or kilometers of hours.

    So the plane can exceed the speed of the Earth's rotation.

    When the plane flies faster than the speed of the Earth's rotation, it will break the world record.

    The space shuttle flies faster than the earth's rotation speed, which is related to the earth's gravity, and the plane can only fly away from the earth when it is greater than the gravitational force, so the speed of the aircraft is required to be greater than the earth's rotation speed.

    Of course it is possible, now supersonic aircraft are flying faster than they are spinning.

    The Earth's rotation speed is about 460 m s, and the fastest supersonic aircraft can approach 1000 m s.

    I don't think so, the space shuttle flying in space is not affected by the rotation of the earth, the farther away from the earth it is, the slower it is, and the closer it is to the earth, the faster it is.

    The Space Shuttle is a manned spacecraft in low orbit (usually a few hundred kilometers above the Earth's surface) that is much faster than the Earth's rotation. It is also a low-orbit spacecraft, such as China's "Shenzhou spacecraft", which takes hours to circle the earth, that is, the angular velocity of the Shenzhou spacecraft is 16 times that of the earth's angular rotational velocity.

    And the speed of a satellite in geosynchronous orbit (10,000 kilometers above the ground) is the same as the angular velocity of the Earth's autobiography.

    The angular velocity of a spacecraft in a higher orbit (greater than 10,000 km) is smaller than the angular velocity of the Earth's rotation.

    In order for a vehicle (spacecraft, space shuttle, satellite, probe, etc.) to be launched into the Earth's orbit, the launch speed must be greater than the first cosmic velocity, but in order to operate in the Earth's orbit, it must be less than the first cosmic velocity. This can be solved with the physics knowledge of the second year of high school, of course, it has been several years, and I have forgotten the specific formula, you can check the relevant information.

    First of all, it is important to know that even if you are floating in the sky, because of the gravitational pull of the Earth on you, you want to have no change in the position of the Earth, just like you jump into the sky and fall in place (vertical take-off), so the rotation of the Earth from west to east has no effect on the flight time of the plane from China and Europe and between.

    So you know, although the flying company and the flight model are the same, the routes of these two planes cannot overlap, otherwise they will collide... So because the routes are different, the distance between the two routes is different, which ultimately leads to different flight times.

    The rotation of the earth has an effect on the flight of the aircraft, and the rotation of the earth causes the air to move in one direction, and the movement of the air (i.e., the wind) causes the speed of the aircraft to differ relative to the ground.

    For example, the stratosphere in the mid-latitudes is "blowing" with a steady "westerly wind" - so flying down often saves more time. The effect of the "west wind" on the speed (and thus fuel consumption) of the aircraft is particularly obvious.

    The lower limit of the stratosphere is located at a distance of 10 km from the earth's surface in the mid-latitudes and about 8 km in the polar regions, which is exactly the flight altitude of most passenger aircraft at present.

    Therefore, when flying from Asia to Europe on a passenger plane, it is often obvious that the return journey takes less time than the outbound journey because of the tailwind and headwinds – and this is mainly directly related to the wind generated by the rotation, rather than the rotation itself.
