Absolute Proof the Earth is Round NOT Flat!

Read my previous answer. Any simpleton can grasp it.

Planes fly parallel to the surface.

Flying level is a consistent altitude... thats all it means dude

No, dude, flying level will RESULT in a consistent altitude, but nice try.

That is true, planes fly level over the level surface. You finally get it!!

So what are you saying?

We can't fly at a consistent altitude?

So we don't actually fly because IF we did... due to your fight adjustments we'd just smash into the ground... just like your idea of rockets?

See look, I made you a pretty picture just to show how simple it is.

The arrows are all the same length.

And the surface is curved.

Duh.

This is not difficult to understand. We DO fly at a consistent altitude, and we DO it while flying level, all the time.

What the hell are you saying about smashing into the ground for? Sheesh.

Did you not say in the flat earth thread that rockets don't actually go into space... they just bugger off into the distance

Thanks for the silly drawing, but I'd prefer if you could actually prove they adjust for 'curvature', in your next post..

I did, and they do, so what about it?

You gotta flatten that drawing out a lot for him to get it lol

Give it a 5% curve and a microscopic plane

Well they certainly can't end up flying over my house 10 minutesafter launch so that I can photograph them at the exact same time that the flight plans said they would be there and post the photographs on ATS, because turbo said that cant happen!

a reply to: OneBigMonkeyToo

Well ya obviously...

we already cleared up that planes fly level... useless argument when he hasn't figured out the size of the planet or the flat earth... let alone the basics of flight

When rockets disappear... with people on them

This might be a conspiracy!

And ATS is all about that sh!t

a reply to: turbonium1

You

If the Earth was curved, a level flight, at 30,000 feet altitude, staying there for 6-7 hours, would be over 1400 feet HIGHER than 30,000 feet above the Earth, assuming it began at sea level.

No. Because the pilot and controls are set to maintaining 30,000 feet. Why would the plane gain altitude.

a reply to: Akragon

If he doesn't understand that, he certainly won't understand this simple demonstration showing how a rocket reaching orbit seems to curve downwards over the horizon, because that requires the ability to think in three dimensions:

For the avoidance of doubt, the red line is the trajectory of the rocket, the blue line is the line of sight towards the horizon.

we have work to do.
you globetards, i love you
we will convert you,
i was like you once.

You guys are way overthinking this. The atmosphere is a medium just like say the ocean. Submarines work on water density to maintain a depth below the surface. Its rudders and thrust is set using the sub's buoyancy.Same with a boat it doesnt hve to adjust anything to follow the curve because again buoyancy does all the hard work. Planes are no different just replace the word buoyancy with lift.

An airplane's lift depends on air density flowing over the wings. The reason airplanes have a maximum altitude is eventually the air is too thin to create lift. Airplanes fly as a result of Bernoulli's principle, which says that if air speeds up the pressure is lowered. Thus a wing generates lift because the air goes faster over the top creating a region of low pressure above it and high pressure below it. This means air density controls the plane's altitude just like water density controls our submarine. This is why a plane just cant keep going straight flying right off the planet.

This is why a plane just cant keep going straight flying right off the planet.

that doesnt make sense

a reply to: Rikku

Well, yes it does when you read the preceding sentences.

Turbonium's strawman claim is that planes would have to constantly adjust for a curve. He has failed to demonstrate that a) they don't and b) they can't.

As pressure at high altitude is always less than that at low altitude, a plane can't just keep on climbing because it has somehow failed to allow for the ground dropping away below it - sooner or later the wing will fail to 'bite'. This is what exactly happened to the X-15 aircraft when they got to the edge of the atmosphere.

Planes don't have to adjust for a curve, the atmosphere is following it and does it for them.
