"I'll accept your evidence, but only under the condition that it might help prove what I already believe." What a joke.

I'm a pilot and I will just say a aircraft in flight is always in motion and controls are always being made to maintain a level flight, the tiny amount of earth curvature is being accounted for by the simple fact that altitude will change over time but autopilot or the pilot itself will counteract it because the autopilot is set to a altitude and it does that by changing the pitch/nose up or down, Even with no control input aircraft will not fly in a perfect straight line it will deviate because of turbulence or changing air currents and also changes to weight distribution of fuel and passengers, If you watch some videos of a boeing aircraft in cruise you may notice a wheel spinning frequently that is a trim wheel which changes the pitch of the aircraft to maintain a level flight set via autopilot

Even if we grant literally every aspect of the flerfs argument and ignore all other problems with it then planes still wouldn’t _have_ to nose down since altitude can also be adjusted by changing speed, thus changing how much lift the wings generate.

@Appletank8

9 ай бұрын

Even without autopilot, and just holding the trim steady, eventually the plane is going to start going down because there's not enough air for the required lift to maintain that heading. It's not like boats are not at risk of floating into space if they don't "tilt the nose down" all the time.

@fepeerreview3150

9 ай бұрын

Also, if the plane were to fly "straight", i.e. increasing altitude as the Earth curves away, it would be moving into less dense layers of atmosphere. This reduction in air density would decrease the lift on the wings, causing the plane to lose altitude until it achieves an equilibrium again, which would leave it at exactly the same altitude it was before. (This assumes all other factors, including air speed, remain constant, which they don't, of course. But I'm just trying to isolate the relevant variable.)

My hypothesis is that Ben will ignore this video, delete his own video and finds something else to misinterpret or misunderstand to mislead his audience.

I did some calculations at one point.. to counter this photo of a flat horizon nonsense.. the curve at ant level is so gradual to capture it on a digital camera.. it would have to be a 200MP camera.. and the deviation would be plus/minus ONE PIXEL. So in that context... how do you 'point the nose down'.. when just the act of staying at some altitude will do that unnoticeable.. the earth is big. :P Oh another thing that seems to be completely beyond the capacity is the idea that if you take a sphere.. and draw a horizon line on it.. turns out.. a circle is a flat shape. :P one can only see curvature easily from viewer to horizon.. not laterally. grade 5 geometry is a bitch.

That's not actually correct. Any plane new enough to have instrumentation runs the same calculations used to determine strike or dip in geology and makes automated adjustments during flight. If you need to equate it to something a car does, cruise control would be a better analogy. In order to maintain a particular seed, the computer increases/decreases fuel supply depending on RPMs of the engine. Similarly, planes read and respond to altitude with minor adjustments. In short, it's not that those compensations don't take place, it's that every 5 year-old for the last hundred years has known we would need them, so we've long-since programmed computers to do it for us.

Which is funny since by technical definitions as i learned back in my old technical Drawing classes in high-school a curve/circle is just made up of an extremely large series of points... so a circle is more or less a polygon with an infinite number of sides. Its still a constant curve despite that fact though as you say. I just dont understand how they cant recognize that since the plane is constantly fighting gravity to maintain a specific altitude the plane will naturally follow the curve as long as it maintains said altitude. When changing altitude, for a while it either 'dips' into or away from the curve, if it continues to change altitude either up or down it either ends up in space or hits the ground dependant on how long it applies those changes (and yeah i know atmosphere and lack thereof etc would preclude a plane reaching space lol)... but it all comes down to that old interaction with gravity in the end... oh yeah i forgot, they don't think gravity is a thing. Convenient for their argument i guess.

If the earth was flat, then a plane would have to constantly tilt to the left or right in order to take straight paths west or east.

It’s very funny how making any flat earth stuff work or even believing in it you are playing reality of not just hard mode, but the nightmare mode you unlock after beating the game at least once. Flat earth makes everything so ABSURDLY complex when things are complicated enough already, but for no reason.

Someone claiming clouds are mountains hits me close to home. I live in Indiana. The closest mountains to us are the Appalachians. When I was in 7th grade I was riding the bus to school as the sun was rising, and one of my cousins was awestruck by the mountains on the horizon behind which the sun was rising... He couldn't get over how amazing it looked. Those "mountains" were clouds. I was completely baffled.

Not just gravity, but air pressure from the relative altitude above the ground. The higher you go, the thinner the air, and thus, less lift. The aircraft can't continue to "climb" when going straight )per the FEers) because the air would thin out so less lift, and of course the pull of gravity would keep it at a constant altitude above the ground.

"Downwards" seems to be a such difficult concept for FE:s, doesn't it. In school, my physics teacher use a pvc pipe, a string, and a weight to demonstrate "conservation of angular momentum". I am sure this is done by most teachers around the world. Except perhaps in the USA? Threading the string through the pipe, tying the weight to one end of the string, he then held the unweighted end of the string in one hand, the pipe at the same end with his other hand, and started to make a circular movment with the other (weight side) end of the pipe. As anyone can imagine, the weight started to wizz around, and by letting out or pulling in the string, the velocity of the weight could be changed . Conservation of angular momentum demonstrated. He then expanded the scope of the lesson by asking : "What do you think that _down_ is, for that weight?" The question make me realise that "downwards" is quite the conditional concept. For the weight wizzing around the end of that pipe, "down" was in the direction of the string towards the end of the pipe. This regardless of the apparent "down" from my point if view. Or as it is also said, regardless of my frame of reference. It also gave me an idea of what gravity is. In this experience represented by the teacher's hold on the string. Eventhough we can't _see_ the string that transfer the gravitational force, it is undeniably there.

When aircraft are on landing approach, they normally do so nose-up & dropping in altitude -- combined with changes in thrust. Curiously, the flerfs haven't yet realized what insight this provides for why aircraft don't "need to drop the nose" for level flight over a spherical planet. In fact, our planet could be a giga-space-Frisbee, cube, pyramid, dodecahedron or sphere, the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft dictates where & how it can fly within a given layer of the atmosphere.

@frocat5163

9 ай бұрын

*"When aircraft are on landing approach, they normally do so nose-up..."* Minor correction: On approach, the plane shouldn't be nose up. You don't apply back pressure to the controls and bring the nose up until you're nearly on the ground. In small aircraft, you pull your power back at "tree-top height" and then "flare" by pulling back on the yoke and lifting the nose. The same principle applies to all planes, but the specifics of when and where you cut power and flare varies.

@StringerNews1

9 ай бұрын

That slightly nose-up attitude is emblematic of swept-wing jet aircraft at low speeds, with lift enhancing devices (flaps) deployed. They need the lift enhancing devices to prevent stalling, but also need to sink at a steady rate. Otherwise this type of plane would "float" and not touch down in time. Propeller planes with straight wings can approach more nose-down, because the propeller itself adds significant drag, so there's less need to pitch up to keep speed in check. A prop can be feathered to produce the desired thrust, while a jet keeps making thrust at flight idle. It's a completely different dynamic.

@cameronlapworth2284

9 ай бұрын

In descent nose is down and power is off this makes the aircraft fly down with same angle of attack relative to direction of travel. You the pitch up to land you need to stop the wing producing lift and slow as much as possible hence nose up on landing. In flight aircarft stays level because its balanced. No pilot input required.

To add to the conversation, Google Earth Pro shows the sky, AFAIK, somewhat accurately (as it is not really hard to implement), desktop version has a time feature that can roughly replicate the features of this flight, the flat earther scrubs through the path with set time and does not use that feature, leading to his wrong conclusion.

In the KML file I downloaded from FlightAware, there are timestamps and positions of the aircraft. Google Earth does use those timestamps to orient the sky. In the Pro version (what you install on your computer) you can go to View->Explore->Sky and and get the full sky view, with planets etc. You can also download and display the path of various space craft and comets etc. via KML files.

Expecting an aircraft to have the pilot needing to make noticeable nose down or tail up tweaks for "curvature correction" amongst all the minor control movements for wind etc, is disappointingly unsurprising.

What's funny is that a flat earth map requires a globe to be able to make it accurate.

It's kind of appropriate, in a strange way. The natural sciences do not set axioms; mathematics does. Axioms represent core truths that don't trace back to reasoning and measurements; they're the foundation that logic expands upon. To a flat earther, the flat earth is axiomatic and therefore unquestionable, the precise opposite of empiric science. If aeroplanes "nose dropping" were axiomatic, the Earth had to get out of the way because airplanes can't stop turning down - which would be quite the remarkable spooky action at a distance, as they're not in contact, and we don't have records of the Earth drastically changing shape when aerodynamic flight was invented.

Dear Flat Earther. The road surface of the Golden Gate bridge is poured LEVEL with the superstructure truss underneath. When cars drive over the bridge they don't need to dip DOWN to go over the curve. If they don't change lanes then they are driving STRAIGHT as they go over the curve. A cars frame in the center is tangent to the curve. A truck bed is FLAT in relation to the curve. It's also TANGENT to the curve. Placing a carpenter square against a up/ down railing at the north enf at a given height from the road will give you a 90deg angle. A carpenter level done the same at the south end will also give a 90deg angle but both ends 90deg will not be on the same plane. Even though both are at the same height from the road surface and both are at 90deg. Glad I could clarify Geometry for you.

Can someone in Australia take a picture of the Polaris star for us? We'll wait.

Every flat eather failed to appreciate the size of the earth, and most of their nonsense came from just that.

Airplanes trim their controls. The reference for that trim is sideways straight, no roll, and vertically level (ie constant height). This means that they will nose down ever so slightly, but it is neglible compared to other causes of need for trim, such as current weight distribution, air pressure, speed, gyroscopic effects from engines and so on. Trimming is just something the pilot does to make the plane flight on course when there is no control input, and he does it with the ground as reference.

I've been saying this since the first time I heard a flerf make this asinine claim. If you haven't engaged an autopilot / flight controller and you haven't trimmed the plane, you will continually make minor control inputs to maintain heading, speed and altitude. The amount of control input required to "nose down" to stay at a constant altitude is so miniscule no one (including the pilot) will even notice the plane's incredibly minor change in attitude. Of course, if flerfing morons could think, they wouldn't be flerfing morons.

Regarding the "planes have to dip their noses flying over a globe claim"... 1. This is true...from the vantage point of someone on the ground. 2. From the vantage point of someone in the plane, the Earth is "rolling" underneath them as they maintain level flight. (For those who have difficulty with the English language, "Level" in this case means uniform altitude. This should remind the reader of the Flat Earth phrase "the horizon rises to eye level" or even simply "sea level".) Flat Earthers, of course, have great difficulty comprehending three dimensional space vantage points, scale, etc..
