A jetliner can fly 4.8 hours on a full load of fuel. Without any wind, it flies at a speed of 2.68 x102m/s. The plane is to make a round trip by heading due west for a certain distance, turning around, and then heading due east for the return trip. During the entire flight, however, the plane encounters a 69.9 m/s wind from the jet stream, which blows from west to east. What is the maximum distance that the plane can travel due west and just be able to return home?
