so you know where the ground is lol

😃

so like when the ground below you curves what happens ? a gyro keeps a dead level

Yup, the gyroscope tells the pilot the attitude etc of the aircraft relative to the plane of the earth

@rob this shows gyroscope correcting mechanism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTXTCqMHyhg

"level" means a horizontal plane to the perpendicular of the centre of the earth (relative to your position)

The first patent for a pendulous vanes system was filed in 1941 by the inventor Frederick D. Braddon,

this is my argument

I want experiments that I can verify

appeal to authority doesn't work

hand wave we have the technology therefore that's wrong doesn't wash anymore

Yup. Crowdfund a heading indicator?

we don't need capital

just better experiments

oh yeah rob good point - but see that's why the gyroscope arguments are useless either way

how did they fly in WWII ??

Or you can fly in an airplane - as airplane flight is impossible on a ball that is rotating at 1600 kilometers per hour.

I watched a vid

the mechanism is for aerial manouvers, not the earth ball

I read somewhere - can't find it now, that the WWII gyros had to be readjusted by eye and had by pilot

hand*

how would you correct for level in the sky

without a level horizon

:/

guys you see - this is why i don't do FE - takes too much time

but everytime I've gone down a road, it was proven nonsense

why can't the FE ers provide a working model

Cessna 172 that flies at 100kph REALLY can't land on a runway which is moving at twice the speed of sound. The only way the Cessna could land on that runway is if it was moving at 1700kph in the first place.

when they can I'll look at it again hehe

I hear you newscat, but consider that our lack of a unified theory of science is largely because gravity doesn't fit quantum mechanics

man yeah that's another dinger

lol no dejay, you're moving relative to the earth

those were debunked as well

what would be cool is if we could find a really good laser

that doesnt disperse a lot over looooong distance

@Newscat ZA Relativity is an unproven theory - you can't prove a theory with another theory.

then send it from one ship over flat water loooong distance

and see on other ship if the laser is higher

decent experiment

Try searching "flat earth laser test" on YT
