An F-106 is flying from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Charleston, South Carolina, a distance of 1400 n miles. The pilot reads an indicated airspeed of 300 kn at a pressure altitude of 50,000 ft MSL. If position error is negligible, what is the aircraft's true airspeed? If it is flying in a 50-kn tailwind, what is the plane's ground speed, and how long will the 1400-n mile flight take?
