A group of aeroplanes is based on a small island. The tank of each plane holds just enough fuel to take it half-way around the world. Any desired amount of fuel may be transferred from the tank of one plane to the tank of another whilst the planes are in flight. The only source of fuel is on the island, and for the purposes of this problem it is assumed that there is no time lost in refuelling either in the air or on the ground.
What is the smallest number of planes that will ensure the flight, non-stop, of one plane around the world on a great circle assuming that each of the planes has the same constant ground speed and rate of fuel consumption, and that all planes return safely to their island base?
