An airplane is headed towards the north east from the south west (45 degrees). There is a cross wind with a speed of 10 m/s out of the west (heading east). The airplane needs to be aligned with the runway which is 53 degrees northeast (53 degrees above the horizontal axis). Vplane=Vwind+Vplane/wind The x component of the vector addition statement is: .6Vplane= 10 + .7 Vplane/wind The y component of the vector addition statement is: .8Vplane= .7 Vplane/wind Is (4.2/8)plane/wind -.7Vplane/wind= 10 accurate? (YES) or (NO)
