Flight 77 question?
OK, trying a new heading, just in case:
I am debating online with somebody who claims the descending turn of the Boeing 757 over the DC mall was some aerobatic maneuver. I am betting a 757 can do that without unduly stressing the plane, in emergency conditions. He turned 270 degrees in 2.5 minutes, and dropped quite a bit (don't know how much). While this might not be somethign you do with passengers, it is doable, right? We did something LIKE this in Cessnas; the emergency descent 45 degree turn. Not trying to say the two are equivalent, just using an example. Is there anybody out there who can help me on this? Thanks. |
