The rest of the calculations were done with the Windows calculator using the following formula. ((( distance in feet / 5280 ) * ( 60 / elapsed time )) * 60 ) = MPH Distances in feet - Distance in miles 6102.475 - 1.155771780303030303030303030303 6846.578 - 1.2967003787878787878787878787879 7378.655 - 1.3974725378787878787878787878788 7376.115 - 1.3969914772727272727272727272727 6147.293 - 1.1642600378787878787878787878788 6745.202 - 1.2775003787878787878787878787879 6623.855 - 1.2545179924242424242424242424242 6744.548 - 1.2773765151515151515151515151515 6444.75 - 1.2205965909090909090909090909091 5423.063 - 1.0270952651515151515151515151515 5375.982 - 1.0181784090909090909090909090909 4960.209 - 0.93943352272727272727272727272727 5882.601 - 1.1141289772727272727272727272727 5972.211 - 1.1311005681818181818181818181818 4098.695 - 0.77626799242424242424242424242424 6509.818 - 1.2329200757575757575757575757576 5713.287 - 1.0820619318181818181818181818182 7889.516 - 1.4942265151515151515151515151515 6622.525 - 1.2542660984848484848484848484848 Elapsed time - 60 divided by elapsed time 11.95 - 5.0209205020920502092050209205021 11.825 - 5.0739957716701902748414376321353 12.09 - 4.962779156327543424317617866005 11.855 - 5.0611556305356389708983551244201 11.925 - 5.0314465408805031446540880503145 12.045 - 4.98132004981320049813200498132 11.97 - 5.0125313283208020050125313283208 12.015 - 4.9937578027465667915106117353308 11.88 - 5.0505050505050505050505050505051 11.95 - 5.0209205020920502092050209205021 11.905 - 5.0398992020159596808063838723226 11.88 - 5.0505050505050505050505050505051 11.815 - 5.0782903089293271265340668641557 11.915 - 5.035669324381032312211498111624 11.84 - 5.0675675675675675675675675675676 11.84 - 5.0675675675675675675675675675676 11.84 - 5.0675675675675675675675675675676 11.88 - 5.0505050505050505050505050505051 11.915 - 5.035669324381032312211498111624 Speed in MPH 348.18229364777481932293647774818 394.76713434556986354026523159686 416.1208549515001127904353710803 424.2234768605498255434990989607 351.47472841623785020011435105748 381.81829503000113211819313936348 377.29864433811802232854864433798 382.7345363749858131880603790714 369.87775482093663911845730027545 309.41782046405477367820464054758 307.89099308922912450841892253033 284.67682506887052341597796143242 339.47222329088600777132304851279 341.75090603898828825391981078066 236.02743012899262899262899262889 374.87434735872235872235872235851 329.00531710687960687960687960679 452.79591368227731864095500459121 378.96415900507381833441422195068 NOTE : a level flight path was assumed for the above calculations... Also the curvature of the radius of the spiral was NOT taken into account. A Google maps map with the path plotted will follow as soon as it is finished.
