Any ideas what the correct answer is? The more i thought about it with the power curve the more i doubted the answer.....
'If an aircrafts best range speed is 60 knots indicated, and it is flying with a 20 knot tail wind, what would be the aircrafts best range speed? (Or words to that effect).
60 kts, 40kts or something else???
I am not sure if I am completely stupid but if the best "range speed" (presumably airspeed at which maximum distance would be achieved in still air) is 60 knots indicated - why would this be any different with a 20 knot tail wind (or in fact any tail wind come to that).
I must be missing something here.
