The rotation of the earth has no measurable bearing on duration of flight. The planes do not fly through space; they fly through the air. The atmosphere rotates with the Earth, ... If we were to ignore the winds, no matter which direction you flew, the speed of the aircraft relative to the Earth would be the same.

Effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of fall ... We excluded there Earth's rotation, although it always acts. Earth turns from West over South to East and therefore gives every body, which is tightly linked to it, a velocity from West to East. A body which drops freely from a tower is therefore strictly...

The Earth's rotation axis is not fixed in space. Like a rotating toy top, the direction of the rotation axis executes a slow precession with a period of 26,000 years (see following figure).

Figure 6h-1: The movement of the Earth about its axis is known as rotation. The direction of this movement varies with the viewer’s position. From the North Pole the rotation appears to move in a counter-clockwise fashion.
