A yoke, alternatively known as a control wheel or a control column, is a device used for piloting some fixed-wing aircraft. The pilot uses the yoke to control the attitude of the plane, usually in both pitch and roll. Rotating the control wheel controls the ailerons and the roll axis. A little plane named A is ready to land at a speed of 78 miles per hour. What angle must the pilot steer the aero plane to such that the absolute velocity is parallel to the runway if the airplane is facing a constant side headwind of speed vw = 21 mi/hr. as it is shown? So, what was the touchdown speed?

Question
A yoke, alternatively known as a control wheel or a control column, is a device used for piloting
some fixed-wing aircraft. The pilot uses the yoke to control the attitude of the plane, usually in
both pitch and roll. Rotating the control wheel controls the ailerons and the roll axis. A little plane
named A is ready to land at a speed of 78 miles per hour. What angle must the pilot steer the aero
plane to such that the absolute velocity is parallel to the runway if the airplane is facing a constant
side headwind of speed vw = 21 mi/hr. as it is shown? So, what was the touchdown speed?
