Why isn’t it much, much faster to fly west in an airplane, given that the Earth is spinning at 700-1000 miles per hour relative to its center? This video answers that question and even describes how some routes are faster going west due to upper level winds caused by the Coriolis effect.
This, along with great circle paths are some of the fascinating things about air travel .
Thank you for the video. I love this type of video, I will wait for another.
