Airspeed Distance Math
Divides routes by 800 km/h (average jet cruising speed) and adds 30 minutes for takeoff and landing paths.
Example
- A Rome to New York direct route span is modeled at approx 8.5 to 9 hours flight duration.
⚠ Note
- Winds like jet streams can significantly expand or shorten flight times between east and west directions.
