Okay, increases your reaction time to one second. Psychologically 1 second always gets lost because that is the time the brain needs to become alarmed. |
Okay where on earth did you get one second from?
That would be a closing speed of 3,600 miles and hour. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
one second * 60(seconds in a minute) * 60 minutes in an hour
3,600 MPH or one mile a second.
That would be 1,800 mph for each aircraft.
Take off speed typical load 747 is 207 MPH.
Take off speed typical load 747 landing is 165 MPH.
Closing speed of 2 747 is 372 mph.
R*T=D
unless they changed the distance formula on me that is
9.67 seconds
take off the 1 second for the mind to wake up(I think that is high btw)
That gives you 8.67 seconds to react.
Assuming of course the two planes are comming in head on.
