Where is Airborne?

101Airborne is the resident overly patriotic american who... as it turns out is actually African and not a full blooded A.A as we all assumed.

I think the shame of this revelation has seen him off the site for a while.

I ran across a nice monkey wrench to throw into the soup. It may even break the china.

It certainly puts an interesting spin on things if true.

YouTube - Flight 175 - Impossible speed

One would think it would not be that hard to verify but why has it taken so long to come out.

The MSM couldn't turn this up in SIX YEARS.

The response from the woman at Boeing was funny. When I told my field manager that I had run benchmarks on two computers and the old one was faster than the new one it was being replaced by he just ignored it and changed the subject.


This is a site with info on aerodynamics:

Airplane Flight: How High? How Fast?

It says the air density at sea level is 4 times that at 30,000 feet therefore the drag on the airliner would be 4 times as great. The engines would need 4 times as much power to overcome that drag. It seems unlikely that a normal airliner would have engines that over powered.

These are videos of large aircraft at low altitudes:





So if the planes in the videos were doing 300 mph and drag is proportional to the square of velocity.

300 * 300 = 90,000 500 * 500 = 250,000

250,000/90,000 = 2.8

Going from 300 mph to 500 mph at the same altitude means 2.8 times as much drag. But going from 700 feet to 30,000 feet means 1/4th as much drag.

2.8 * 0.25 = 0.7

So doing 500 mph at 30,000 feet is less drag on the planes than 300 mph at 700 feet. So if the engines were only using 50% of their maximum thrust when cruising at 30,000 feet they could not produce enough thrust to do 500 mph at 700 feet. I think there is a very good chance that ex-Boeing engineer is correct. Since MIT says the plane that hit the south tower was doing 503 mph this make 9/11 look very weird.

An AA using the word "catamite" seemed pretty damnd strange.



I have never encounterd an AA claiming to have PhD that came across that crude. At least they try to keep that under cover, it just might slip out accidentally.
