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.
