How long is the flight from Gatwick to Redhill?

Redhill Aerodrome is roughly 7 kilometers, or a bit over 4 miles, as the crow flies from Gatwick. There are obviously no commercial flights between the two. If you are talking about moving a light aircraft between the two sites you can use the distance and the speed of the aircraft to work it out how long it will take as the time clearly depends on how fast the aircraft can travel. But bear in mind that by taking the proper departure and approach paths you would be talking about a much longer distance than the straight line distance.

An aircraft can accelerate at a rate of 11m per s2 and can decelerate at a rate of 9m per s2 If the aircraft has a take-off velocity of 100m per s how long must the runway be?

The runway must be long enough for the aircraft to reach take-off velocity and then stop. We have to find out how much distance it takes the aircraft to reach 100 m/s and then stop. For this we can use the equation v2 = v02 + 2ax.To reach 100 m/s: 1002 = 2(11)x. Solving for x gives x = 454.5 so it takes 454.5 meters for the aircraft to reach 100m/s.To slow back down: 02 = 1002 + (2)(-9)x. Solving for x gives x = 555.5, so it takes the aircraft 555.5 m to stop.The total distance of the runway needs to be 454.5 + 555.5 = 1,010 m.
