Abstract

 This article considers a distribution model for rescue aircraft in a search operation for missing aircraft in a given geographical area. The article determines how many search aircrafts should be deployed for the operation described and how they should be geographically distributed in order to maximize the probability of finding the missing aircraft using elements of classical probability.
