[QUOTE="Japrim, post: 140532, member: 7558"] That was kind of a sloppy inadequate explanation. ...to further clarify and summarize; There are two common ways for pilots to judge aircraft speed. One factors in air density and altitude while the other is relative to the Earth's surface. When calculating and comparing the two, the math all checks out relative to the circumference of the Earth. The math demonstrates a curved surface. If the Earth was flat, the whole equation would be different. The difference between low and high altitude flight in terms of distance traveled per speed over ground demonstrates a circumference. When you apply and compare the physics of air density and altitude relative to mach, it fits, therefore serving as further confirmation of a spherical Earth. If we really want to expand on this, we can dig into the actual math. I did this years ago and am feeling kind of lazy though. Another thing to consider: Pilots commonly choose a course that factors in curvature of the Earth as to more efficiently manage fuel.
