Gday chaps, Im a Re believer and ibam no genius, but I have a question for the RE, if I were in a helicopter and traveled directly upwards for an hour, with the rotational speed being around 1,600kmh, would I be that far away from my original position?

The rotational speed of what?

I am not sure if this site notifies you when people reply but I answered your question in the "questions for RE's" thread.

No. You also have that same rotational speed, so you'll hover.

It depends on her height and the amount of time she stays in the heli. She wont move all that fast if she were an inch over the ground, but if she were 5,000 feet in the air, then she would be moving faster, relative to the earth

Well, sure. Obviously a greater elevation means a longer circumference to travel, thus she would have to speed up slightly, or slowly fall behind, just like taking the inside of a curve vs the outside. I imagine it wouldn't be very noticeable over a short period of time even at 5,000 feet though.
