You mean a helicopter hovering above a certain place on Earth is actually being blown by the air/wind/atmosphere at 1,000 miles per hour (in order to match the Earth's spin), much faster than the most violent typhoons ever recorded?Why aeroplane not affected by earth spinning, you just need to Google it's not due to no earth spinning but due to the air above the earth also spinning so the plane is affected by the plane speed relative to air and also any wind to help to move the plane or not.
If yes, then the:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Airspeed_indicator
should also display an:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicated_airspeed
of "1,000 miles per hour", right?
If the helicopter is on the ground, it might still make sense if you say it's moving at 1,000 miles per hour together with the Earth's spin.
But hovering in the air, while also being blown by the air?
And please take note that now I'm not saying "wind", but only simple air/atmosphere.
Is the air/atmosphere so strong that it can blow such a heavy solid physical thing?
