Abstract
Numerical results are given concering the minimum-time path through a region of position dependent winds' fields. Five (5) winds' fields are used: three (3) are defined analytically, while the other two (2) are composed from measured weather charts. Optimum paths thus obtained suggest the possibility of fuel saving to some degree when applied to flight across the Pacific Ocean.
