From his post:
I am a student pilot. I've got 100 hours and 300 landings.

Throw a paper airplane. Does it fly in a straight line? Of course not. Neither does a big plane.

It only follows the course, horizontally and vertically, that the pilot controls it to fly. The way it turns from one heading to another is by temporarily banking to one side, exactly like a bicycle. The way it changes altitude above the ground is by using more or less power. The way it changes speed is by using more or less elevator trim.

All of these things are monitored by the pilot and adjusted as needed. If they are not adjusted, the plane flies at a constant speed, on a constant heading, at a constant rate of climb or descent above the earth.

Take a flying lesson. It doesn't cost much and is a great experience.

if i walk in a straight line, shouldn't i just start walking on air if i don't correct my course?

2019-07-30 16:44:10 UTC  

wtf kind of argument is that?

2019-07-30 16:44:32 UTC  

the question at its basis is wrong, because as you gain altitude, air density diminish, and doesnt produce enough lift and too much drag and you start falling, but lets say you have an airplane that nullify this problem, with an engine that works without air and can nullify gravity pull from earth, maybe yes you could, but no such plane existaccording to main stream media.

2019-07-30 16:45:46 UTC  

well, i mean, if you have thrusters, you can probably do it, that's essentially what rockets do (with a slightly different path)

2019-07-30 16:46:01 UTC  

rockets don't just fly straight up

2019-07-30 16:46:06 UTC  

maybe, im no rocket scientist.

2019-07-30 16:46:22 UTC  

will not argument about rockets, I know nothing.

2019-07-30 16:46:47 UTC  

good habit

2019-07-30 16:46:56 UTC  

yep yep

2019-07-30 16:48:27 UTC  

but the thing is, we don't need to go into complicated things when the model crashes at basic things like seasons, day/night cycles, triangles, etc..

2019-07-30 16:49:21 UTC  

the model failed at ancient greek time, dinosaur probably knew the earth wasnt flat

2019-07-30 16:51:01 UTC  

but I still dont know if @rivenator12113 supported, can you fall of flat earth, how thick is the crust, does flat earth revolve around the sun or the other way around, what is on the other face of flat earth? another flat earth ? can you stand on the other side of flat earth or you fall? and so on...

2019-07-30 16:51:16 UTC  

dinos were tall af, so they for sure saw the curvature of the earth :P

2019-07-30 16:51:20 UTC  

@Akhanyatin when u walk on land, is it the same as an airplane walking on some sort of support?

2019-07-30 16:51:22 UTC  

Not to mention just viewing polaris from different latitudes...

2019-07-30 16:51:54 UTC  

this guy using a bike, two sticks and a camera proove earth isnt flat yet he`s here arguing its flat... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaPa4esJJx4

2019-07-30 16:51:56 UTC  

@rivenator12113 do you understand how an airplane flies?

2019-07-30 16:52:14 UTC  

@skywalk i don't know, but i don't believe in globe earth. polaris star wouldn't work on a globe earth revolving around a sun

2019-07-30 16:52:32 UTC  

@Akhanyatin what is the support that makes it magically keep altitude?

2019-07-30 16:53:31 UTC  

when we walk on earth, we have the ground, what does the airplane that makes them keep altitude when flying straight?

2019-07-30 16:53:45 UTC  

globe is the only way polaris works....

Each latitude would be viewing polaris at a different angle on flat earth - THAT is not what we observe.

2019-07-30 16:53:51 UTC  

this magical support is called air

2019-07-30 16:54:03 UTC  

air is keeping the plane on the same altitude?

2019-07-30 16:54:04 UTC  

aerodynamic lift keeps the airplane in the air

2019-07-30 16:54:20 UTC  

thrust generates lift on the right surface... like a wing

2019-07-30 16:54:36 UTC  

no because then the plane would be able to just chill at a certain spot without actually moving

2019-07-30 16:54:44 UTC  

i don't know @skywalk

2019-07-30 16:55:00 UTC  

then what are you arguing for if you can define what you support

2019-07-30 16:55:22 UTC  

you have to take a stance somewhere, so I know what im dealing with

2019-07-30 16:55:24 UTC  

i'm refuting your argument, you are sure of globe earth. i'm not sure what the earth is.

2019-07-30 16:55:34 UTC  

no lol @skywalk

2019-07-30 16:55:35 UTC  

You have done zero refuting...

2019-07-30 16:55:42 UTC  

Just 'nuh uh" so far

2019-07-30 16:55:48 UTC  

^

2019-07-30 16:56:00 UTC  

i can refute an argument without having an opposite stance

2019-07-30 16:56:14 UTC  

he`s just no flat earther he just want to troll people

2019-07-30 16:56:44 UTC  

again: you have done 0 refuting

2019-07-30 16:56:49 UTC  

just open your mind a little bit please. stop thinking earth is globe because nasa said so

2019-07-30 16:57:11 UTC  

open your mind a little bit please, stop saying nonsense because you want to feel special
