Nonstop flight route between Enarotali, Indonesia and Mountain View, California, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Enarotali Airport (EWI), Enarotali, Indonesia and Moffett Federal Airfield (NUQ), Mountain View, California, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,018 miles (or 11,294 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the large distance between Enarotali Airport and Moffett Federal Airfield, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.

Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between Enarotali Airport and Moffett Federal Airfield. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Enarotali Airport's high elevation of 6,122 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at EWI. Combined with a high temperature, this could make EWI a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.

Facts about Moffett Federal Airfield (NUQ):

• At its peak in the 1990s, NAS Moffett Field was the U.S.
• Moffett Field's "Hangar One" and the row of World War II blimp hangars are still some of the largest unsupported structures in the country.
• The adjacent NASA Ames Research Center is also home to several wind tunnels, including the Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel, and the National Full-Scale Aerodynamic Complex.
• Because of Moffett Federal Airfield's relatively low elevation of 32 feet, planes can take off or land at Moffett Federal Airfield at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
