Flight Time And Distance Calculator
Flight Time And Distance: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers origin airport (IATA code). Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Flight Time And Distance Calculator is a planned calculator in the transport section of Super Calculator, covering vehicles and transport.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: origin airport (IATA code), destination airport (IATA code), cruise speed (km/h) and allowances (min).
Outputs: great circle distance (km and nmi), estimated flight time (h:mm), arrival local time (datetime) and time zones crossed (n).
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Great circle distance from the haversine formula on a spherical Earth, or Vincenty on the WGS84 ellipsoid for sub-kilometer accuracy. Flight time equals distance divided by cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent allowances, and does not account for winds aloft or routing constraints.
