3. It is September of 1936, and the Kenyan aviatrix Beryl Markham is attempting the first solo flight of the Atlantic from east to west in a specially outfitted Vega Gull, against the prevailing winds of the North Atlantic jet stream. Her plan is to fly from London to New York, proving the potential for commercial airline routes. Her initial heading (direction she points the nose of the plane) is 288 degrees. Note, in navigation, directions are measured clockwise from north At 10,000 feet, the winds are going southwesterly at 235 degrees with wind velocity of about 50 knots. The Vega Gull flies at a top airspeed of 150 knots (relative to still air). What direction is she flying relative to the ground? What will be the plane's groundspeed, i.e., the plane's speed relative to the ground?
