15、ondon but seven hours to travel eastwest from London to NY. The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon known as the jet (喷射) stream. The jet stream is a very high altitude wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. The planes moving at a constant air speed
16、 thus go faster in the westeast direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction.2.
