Why is it that the direct route from London to Los Angeles is over the arctic? Perhaps there is a 'map' which explains this. Would such a map have any practical use in navigating the Atlantic Ocean? Would mariners gain some advantage from it?
I used to work on the sales team for GE90-115B engine that powers the Boeing 777. We were always using Great Circle maps to prove cost savings. Cant imagine what my boss, who was a pilot, would have said if we tried using a "flat Earth" map.
