About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between East 34th Street Heliport (TSS), New York City, United States and Wings Field (BBX), Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 80 miles (or 128 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 relatively short distance between East 34th Street Heliport and Wings Field, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
