How does the curvature affect flight time


True, the Coriolis effect is also demonstrative of how the curvature affects the patterns of flights and air currents. Why? Because the Earth moves at different speeds dependent on what latitude you’re at (Earth moves more slowly at the higher and lower latitudes then it would at the equator).

I don’t know how flat earthers try and explain the very clear effect this has on weather patterns, but then again I don’t know how they explain away satellite images or seeing other planets through telescopes either, other than “Gummint Conspircy!”
Circumstantial evidence of weather patterns? How about a real experiment that proves it?
