Can an airplane take off at the same time because of time zones?

Hello, I wonder if an airplane can land at the same time (?) it took off due to a time difference? Eg: Airplane X takes off at 01:00 and flies 5h without time difference. It then arrives at 06:00 without a time difference. But since the time difference is -05:00h, it will land at the same time (01:00 am)

This depends on the flight route!!

A plane flies on average around the 850 kmh relative to the Earth.

Depending on altitude winds, which sometimes allow over 1100 kmh in the east direction, this is only sometimes 700 kmh.

The Earth has approx. 40,000 km, this would mean approximately 1700 km for a time zone. Since time zones are not directly divided into 360°/24

This would therefore be the double line that an aircraft can handle due to its speed. So don't go!!!! It would also be time!

Theoretically, it is possible where the flight path is equal to the ground diameter at the above speed. So closer to the North and South Poles. (As far as this is from the equator, I do not want to calculate 🙂 )

Airplanes must also overcome the gravity forces so that their flight speed is not positively or negatively influenced by the ground rotation. Only the high winds are helpful or a resistance.

Thus, an aircraft would have to fly constantly in the direction of the west along a latitude of the earth, which is (850 kmh * 24h = 20,400 km) long to have exactly the same position to the sun, ie the same time.

Then it would be possible!

No, that's impossible. However, with the French/British Concorde, the only commercial supersonic passenger aircraft, businessmen, VIPs, etc. were able to fly from France or GB to the United States in the early morning, for example, with the French/British Concorde, the only commercial supersonic passenger aircraft, even a few years ago.

yes, it can, it just has to hurry

Jap.. Can even fly backwards in time. Only from a certain point suddenly goes 24 hours at once.

You can also hop to the Poles (not in Poland) on foot from time zone to time zone.

It's just stupid because you're never supposed to get the alarm.

Of course
