An aircraft travels 2150 nautical miles in 2 hours 30 minutes. What is the average speed of the aircraft?
- 550 knots
- 600 knots
- 860 knots
Explanation
Average speed is distance divided by time. Convert 2 hours 30 minutes to 2.5 hours, then 2150 nautical miles / 2.5 h = 860 nm per hour. Since one knot is one nautical mile per hour, the speed is 860 knots.
