Question Assume an aircraft flying from Istanbul straight south to Cape Town. South Africa at a constant speed of 800 kmfh. (Fig.1) a. 1What is the average acceleration the aircraft will have due to... earth's curvature only in order to maintain constant altitude? h. 1What is the average acceleration due to the earth's curvature and earth's notation around combined in order to maintain constant altitude? [Assume perfect sphere, neglect rotation around sun) Hint: You may calculate the acceleration by attaching a coordinate system at the airplane {Tangential and normal coordinates]. What is the average acceleration the aircraft will have due to earth's curvature only in order to maintain constant altitude? [Show More]
