Deep-dives on route planning, aircraft range, ETOPS, wind modelling, and the aviation concepts behind everything the tool does.
Wind at cruise altitude can shift an aircraft's reach by hundreds of nautical miles depending on direction. Here's what a range circle actually represents, who uses them, and how we build ones that reflect reality.
What ETOPS ratings mean, how diversion time limits shape oceanic routes, and why the 85th percentile wind standard matters for Boeing and Airbus certification.
Why the shortest path between two cities arcs over the poles on a flat map, and what that means for how dispatchers actually plan and fly global routes.
