Resultant direction of aircraft

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the direction and magnitude of an aircraft's velocity vector in a control configured scenario. The wind vector is given as V = 2i + 7j + 20k with a magnitude of 45 knots, while the aircraft's control vector is X = 4i + 7j + 3k at a speed of 2450 knots. Participants are encouraged to seek help in the homework forum and to follow a specific posting template for clarity. The importance of providing details about previous attempts and specific challenges is emphasized. This structured approach aims to facilitate effective problem-solving in physics-related queries.

in a control configured aircraft the wind is oriented along V= 2i+7j+20k and with a magnitude of 45 knots. the aircraft is controlled to point along vector X = 4i+7j+3k at a speed of 2450 knots. Find the direction and magnitude of aircraft velocity vector ?

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
