Are you saying Vd is not the end of the Flight Envelope V-G diagram for every aircraft on this planet?

Yes, it was modified. No, it was not much stronger than a modern airliner.
Wow - Thanks for posting that!
You just proved an airliner needs only a little bit of modification to go A LOT faster.
Can you spot if there were any leading edge mods in a youtube video of the south tower impact?
No, you can't. Neither can I. Nor can anyone else.
Also keep in mind that Mach 1 at the altitude tested for the DC-8 (~50,000 feet) has an true airspeed of roughly 568, this translates into an equivalent airspeed of 221 knots.
This is roughly 135 knots BELOW Vmo for the DC-8.
Feel free to calculate it yourself -

The question still stands -
Please let us know when you find one STANDARD aircraft which exceeded it's Vmo by 150 knots prior to 9/11, was stable/controllable, and survived.
Thanks!
(Nice try though, and again, thanks for bringing it to my attention)

Well, maybe I am not making myself clear. The question is
"Does anyone here feel that flight data for Flight 175 on September 11, 2001 as presented by the NTSB, specifically the terminal speed of 510 is physically impossible for that type of aircraft at that altitude"?
Remember - this is all about 9/11 and conspiracies. You've got to get flight 175 in that question somewhere - what's the problem?
Also, please post your Vg diagram and get a general opinion if it is applicable.
Including a Flight number not only invites bias, but also emotion, especially for 9/11. I suppose you disagree.
Why don't you go over there and ask them if they feel any airplane will be controllable/stable at 150 knots over Vmo?

Well, if you want to talk about aviation in general why are you posting here at a conspiracy forum and why do you keep posting links to a 9/11 conspiracy website?
Just ask the question. - Flight 175 - was it possible?
Because I don't care about your semantic evasions, "controllable"? "stable"? Those are your contriavances[sic],
It is now pretty obvious you know what the answers are going to be - yes, of course it was possible.
Which pretty much makes your little website a hoax. And not a victimless one either.
ENOUGH!!
You all, every single one of you, will stop the "identity" accusations. I don't, nor do the vast majority of members, give a flying damn who you may or may not be out in the "world".
You will address each other by your ATS screen name, or not at all...
...if you can not do this, don't post in the forum.

I found reports of Spitfires and Mustangs going Mach 1 during WWII. I'll see if they went into the pretty red zone. No I won't, I am sure they went off the graph. They landed safe. There, my point is made, I win. HA!
Thomas Salme .....
He practiced on a flight simulator until he thought he was ready to fly, and then printed a fake pilot's license at home. He got a job at European airline Air One, and spent 13 years flying passengers around Europe until being caught in March. The heavy hand of justice: a $2,500 fine and a one-year grounding.
So you rather have a response based on emotion and bias than objective science?
Just go over there and ask the question - Do you feel an aircraft which exceeds it's Vmo by 150 knots is controllable/stable?

Interesting article, But according to what Tiffany say's, It is possible to takeoff fly and land a passenger aircraft with only flight simulator practice.

Lets see what the pilots say about Flight 175 and was it possible. While you're at it, ask them their general opinions about Pilots for 9/11 truth.
You seem to place a high degree of confidence in them as an unimpeachable source for professional opinions, ask the pilots on the other site what they think. Just curious.
Just go over there and ask the question - Do you feel an aircraft which exceeds it's Vmo by 150 knots is controllable/stable?
Great question! Tell me again how it relates to 9/11?
Wow, the OS Supporter arguments are so transparent.
Reach much?

That's some where between 30 and 60 hrs of simulator time before getting in the seat and fooling the captain. Not a lot.
Did you find your graph faux pas yet Tiffany ?
