Perhaps the defence expert was misintrepreted -
If the plane is 6.2 miles on the ground away and flying at 30K feet (5.7 miles), then basic pythagorean geometry says that a missile has to travel sqrt(6.2^2+5.7^2) = 8.4 miles, which is closer to the number they give?
- jahewson 12y agoNo, 10,000m is the altitude of the plane, i.e. 33,000ft or 6.2 miles.
