@Tejiu The Gecko Why do they ark downward

2019-07-23 13:29:49 UTC  

Shouldnt they be arking upward to go with the ball

2019-07-23 13:30:22 UTC  

Because the map is flat so it looks curved but on a globe map the line is straight

2019-07-23 13:30:28 UTC  

No

2019-07-23 13:30:40 UTC  

To make the line straight you would need to ark upward

2019-07-23 13:30:59 UTC  

Not if it is in the south

2019-07-23 13:31:19 UTC  

I just did the lines on a globe and it is perfectly straight on a globe

2019-07-23 13:31:24 UTC  

No flights go in straight lines on a globe

2019-07-23 13:31:54 UTC  

Ive always seen they have an arc

2019-07-23 13:32:06 UTC  

This is relative straight and fit the map on google

2019-07-23 13:32:21 UTC  

Thats from a flight map?

2019-07-23 13:32:34 UTC  

Its an arc

2019-07-23 13:32:54 UTC  

Slight because it is a ball but the path is relative straight

2019-07-23 13:33:20 UTC  

Looks kinda straight but it arcs

2019-07-23 13:33:52 UTC  

Here is the same path but looked more direct down on it

The red line don’t make sense on a ball
It wouldn’t work

2019-07-23 13:38:10 UTC  

On the flight path, they ark towards the south pole

2019-07-23 13:38:25 UTC  

This doesnt make sense on a ball

It bends if you look at the earth in the same way on the flat map

2019-07-23 13:40:15 UTC  

Even google knows this mate

2019-07-23 13:40:23 UTC  

^^

2019-07-23 13:40:39 UTC  

That is also completely different places

2019-07-23 13:40:51 UTC  

Still southern hemisphere

2019-07-23 13:42:09 UTC  

It depends
On very deep southern part most flight patterns curve downward depending on locations

2019-07-23 13:42:18 UTC  

No

2019-07-23 13:42:51 UTC  

Anything south of the hemisphere has to curve upwards in order to obtain 'straight' flight

2019-07-23 13:43:01 UTC  

So tell me

2019-07-23 13:43:14 UTC  

Why is it that to fly from AUS to SA you curve down?

2019-07-23 13:44:43 UTC  

Admit this only makes sense on the Fe

2019-07-23 13:46:54 UTC  

Because a plane from Australia go further down south to reach South America depending on where in South America
The plane go south “down”

2019-07-23 13:47:29 UTC  

What?

2019-07-23 13:49:26 UTC
