What is the rotation speed of an f15?
The f-15 eagle fighter jet can fly at 1875 miles per hour or [mach 2.5 plus].
B2 stealth fighter speed in miles per hour?
The B-2 Spirit's top speed is 1333 mile per hour. That is approximately Mach 1.7 or Mach 1.8.
What compass bearing?
Heading indicates the direction the ship/aircraft/vehicle you are in is moving toward. Bearing is normally used to indicate the direction something else is relative to you. The ship was heading 085 and maintaining a station on the carrier at two miles and a bearing of 200 from the carrier. This is often the case where a ship or airplane is "pointed" on a bearing across the wind or current and "moving" on a heading that is the natural consequence of the combined forces on the hull.
Can 114 million light years be calculated?
Yes, because light years is a specific distance. One light year is the distance light travels in the vacuum of space in one year. This distance is about 5.86 trillion miles. Therefore, 114 million light years is calculated by multiplying 5.86 trillion by 114 million. This results in an enormous distance, expressed as:6.70148979 × 1020 miles
What would be the diameter of Jupiter if 1 inch represented 8000 miles?
The equatorial diameter of Jupiter is 22.418 earths. The equatorial diameter of earth is 12,756.2 miles. So the equatorial diameter of Jupiter is 22.418 X 12,756.2 miles. This makes the diameter of Jupiter about 285,968.4916 miles. Divide this by 8000 and you get about 35.75 inches.
How many miles to turn around an aircraft carrier?

What is an association with aircraft carrier and p-47 thunderbolt?
In June 1944, the USA aircraft carrier, Manila Bay (CVE-61), transported 37 P-47 Thunderbolts, from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii to the Mariana Islands. The aircraft were transported by aircraft carrier because it was easier to ship them there, instead of having the planes fly the thousands of miles under their own power. The P-47 (with it's air-cooled engine and 8 .50 caliber M-2 machine guns) was probably better in the fighter/attack role than any USA Navy plane in 1944.
If you travel 230 miles how many minutes to travel?
Less than 10 minutes in a fighter aircraft (at Mach 2), more than a day if walking.
When was Miles Aircraft created?
Miles Aircraft was created in 193#.
How long would it take to travel 125 miles?
It depends on your mode of transport. More than a day if you are walking, less than 5 minutes in a fighter aircraft.
Why did need aircraft carriers?
Longer range. A carrier plane can deliver a bomb over a hundred miles to target, with accuracy. A battleship can deliver the same bomb only 20 miles, with poor accuracy (they have to fire salvoes and adjust from there).
If an aircraft travels 120 miles in 12 minutes how fast is the aircraft going?
If an aircraft travels 120 miles in 12 minutes how fast is the aircraft going? The aircraft travels 120 miles in 12 minutes, which is 1/5 of an hour. Therefore, in 55 (one) hour, it would travel 5 × 120, or 600 miles. The aircraft is traveling 600 miles per hour.
Which was a more important instrument in World War 2 the aicraft carrier or the sub?
Without a doubt the aircraft carrier. Until WWII, the battleships ruled the waves. But due to the unique ability to project force in any direction for hundreds of miles, through the use of it's aircraft, the carrier changed the way that warfare was conducted on the high seas. As a force multiplier, the carrier was the ultimate weapon. In comparison, the carrier's airplanes could easily spot a sub that was preparing to engage in a torpedo attack. Many U-boats and Japanese subs were sunk by aircraft. Its not really a question of which is more 'important' - they functioned in two different ways. Aircraft carriers projected power, while submarines disrupted supply lines. Both were critical in the success of the US against the Japanese.
How many miles does a plane go to turn around?
The turning radius is very different for different aircraft. A Boeing 747 has a comfortable radius of about 20 miles (flying over 60 miles to turn 180 degrees). A jet fighter can turn in a matter of a few hundred yards.
What strategies did they use during the Battle of the Coral Sea?
Coral Sea was the FIRST battle in naval history in which aircraft carrier fought aircraft carrier; and in which no naval fleet fired their guns at one another. Which by the way, is why aircraft carriers replaced the battleship. Battleships could only destroy a warship at, for example, 20 miles away. Airplanes launched from a carrier could destroy a warship 200 miles away AND hit their target without missing so much. Battleships expended 50 to 100 rounds before they could even hit their moving warship target. Two or three torpedo's launched from two or three torpedo bombers, striking a battleship, will sink it.
What was the purpose of the doolittle raid and the problem military planners had to solve to make successful?
The Doolittle Raid of Saturday, 18 April 1942, was designed to be symbolic in nature. It would openly demonstrate to the Japanese & the Allies that the United States could & would strike back at the Japanese directly into their home islands. This raid occurred during a run of several months that the Japanese had a string of victories against the Allies. It signaled that the United States intended to bring the war to the Japanese. It was meant to boost the morale of Americans already fighting the Japanese, the American public, and the Allies (especially the Chinese). It was also intended to undermine Japanese propaganda and public support for the military leadership of Japan.The primary difficulty that the US military had to overcome:Because all US & Chinese land bases were too far away to use the US Army B-17 bomber, then…How do you get an aircraft carrier w/ aircraft close enough to Japan without being detected by the enemy?The mission analysis determined that it was virtually impossible to get an American aircraft carrier within 250 miles of the Japanese home islands without being detected prior to launching the strike, and then completely impossible to avoid detection after the strike hits Japan. This would endanger all US ships engaged in the raid. The further away from Japan that the aircraft could be launched on the strike, then the better the chance of the raiding ships escaping Japanese air & naval reactions. There was never any intention of the raid being a suicide mission for either the ships or the aircraft pilots.The US Navy carrier aircraft currently in service did not have the round-trip range to launch from a planned safe distance of at least 400 nautical miles. The only viable solution was to use twin-engine medium-range aircraft.However that posed its own challenges:How could a twin-engine medium-range aircraft take-off w/ a bomb-load from an aircraft carrier?If US Army aircraft are used, is there enough time for the crews to be trained to take-off from a carrier?Is it possible to lighten the bombers enough to allow for enough fuel & bombs that will not prevent the aircraft from taking off the deck of the carrier?What other aircraft modifications would be necessary?Does the aircraft carrier have to be modified?Is the bomber able to return to the carrier?If not, then where do they go?While traveling to the launch point with the bombers on-board, where are the bombers stored? Would the bombers fit on the aircraft carrier's elevators that are used to wheel them from the lower hanger deck to the flight deck?If the bombers are kept on the flight deck, doesn't this prevent the aircraft carrier from using its own carrier aircraft during the trip?How could this aircraft carrier protect itself and its escorts without its own carrier fighters?
How many miles per hour does a jet plane go?
Depends on the jet. Passenger aircraft tend to do about 900 KMH / 560 MPH, while some military / fighter jets can do 2-3 times that.
