Earth's Curvature From Your Airplane Window?
Posted by Admin on 05/04/2015
The glass used in all commercial airplanes is curved to remain flush with the fuselage. This creates a slight bulging effect people mistake for being the supposed curvature of the Earth. In actuality, if the Earth were a ball, no matter how large, you would NOT be able to see the horizon rise remaining at eye level all the way up. If the Earth were a ball, no matter how big, the horizon would stay exactly where it was and you would have to look DOWN further and further to see the horizon at all. Looking straight out the window at 35,000 feet you should see nothing but "outer-space" from the port and starboard windows, as the Earth/horizon are supposed to be BELOW you. If they are visible at eye level outside both side windows, that's because the Earth is flat!

Speaking of airplanes.
My understanding is that the airplane's altimeter is set at 35,000 feet on most commercial long haul flights. This should mean that the pilot would have to dip his nose down about 1/2 mile per minute, if the earth was curved otherwise he would fly off into space, right?
Of course, ballers say this is the Berelli effect {sp?] and is accounted for by pilots by setting the altimeter to the local pressure (because it's constantly changing with temperature and various pressure systems coming through). But once they cross a certain altitude, all pilots set their altimeter to 29.92, the standard pressure at sea level. This is because otherwise every pilot would have to be constantly adjusting their altimeters and there's no measurement at altitude to tell them what it actually is. In order for one pilot's 35,000 feet to be another pilot's 35,000 feet, they must all use the same setting. So the baller's conclusion is that the pressure however does not remain constant, so when an autopilot is set to hold at 35,000 feet, what it's really doing is holding at whatever 35,000 feet would be like at 29.92. As the pressure changes, the plane actually goes up and down (in relation to the ground) along with it.
That doesn't make sense to me, since pilots are mandated to fly at the prescribed altitude, so how would they properly compensate if 35,000 feet is based on sea level, and isn't really 35,000 feet above the ground below?

The Altimeter indicates the pressure altitude in elevation of the aircraft above a defined datum (QNH, QFE, QNE).
QNH sets the altimeter to the indicated height above mean sea level. The QNH may be the pressure observed at
the airfield, or the lowest pressure observed throughout a specified geographical area.
QFE sets the altimeter to the indicated height above the QFE datum, which may be a point in the aerodrome
environment or the touch-down zone of the runway in use.
QNE (Standard Pressure) sets the altimeter to the indicated Pressure Altitude (Flight Level), for all aircraft
operating above the transition altitude to provide a common datum for vertical measurement. The Standard
Pressure is equivalent to the air pressure at mean sea level (MSL).
The mean sea level is the same across the entire face of the Flat Earth.

Re: Earth's Curvature From Your Airplane Window?
The following footage taken from airplanes, cars, trains and ships covers many THOUSANDS of miles of our flat, level, stationary plane Earth in just 5 minutes, showing beyond any doubt that we do NOT live on a spinning ball 25,000 miles in circumference which would have an exponential, visible, measurable curvature drop of 8 inches per mile squared; curvature which has never and will never be seen, experienced, measured, or proven.

Re: Earth's Curvature From Your Airplane Window?
I don't see anything about Pilot LX in this thread!! He is a flat earther and posts a ton of his flight videos to his Facebook page under the same name. I do not think he has a youtube. His facebook encourages people to share his videos and he is a strong proponent for Flat Earth Truth!!

In this video:
Rory says, the bible gives you deep insight into what is really going on.
Rory says, the bible says there is a criminal organization called "Babylon the great"
Rory says, "Babylon the great" controls the wars, media, controls everything.
Rory says, the bible indicates and what we see happing around us, destruction of this organization is imminent, not from men but from the creator himself.
Rory says, what you can do about it is nothing, becoming a rebel or becoming a trouble maker is not going to help you, have patience and all will be taken care of.
Rory says, that's why he reads the bible, it gives him hope.
From these bible statements by Rory, all will be fine, just do nothing and the creator will fix everything= Pretend
I'm interested in what Schpankme says about Rory's paid for bible and this posting.

Not to get off topic, but Rory can not use the word JEW Controllers (aka his "Babylon the great" or what he will term the Banking, School System, Media, and Entertainment Industry), for Rory through his Bible purchase worships the Jew circumcised "Savior called Christ", and fears the Jew circumcised "Deceiver called Anti-Christ." Unfortunately, Rory through his flat Earth videos will keep many feeble minds indoctrinated within the State Sponsored religion of theism.
The above statement is why JEWdaism pretends to be a race and not a religion.

Schpankme, to quote you, I too consider this a video of the "same bullshit used to place those who Participate in "State Sponsored Religion" (Atheist or Theist) onto the Hamster Wheel of lies and deceptions. We are now getting requests on IFERS to INCORPORATE the indoctrinated, those who will come here and repeat FICTIONAL STORIES. LISTEN-UP, if your indoctrinated you have no business telling people about the flat Earth based on your knowledge."

If high-altitude balloons at 120,000 feet show no curvature, you're deluded if you believe you can see the curve from 35,000 feet.

Correct.
And the go-pro footage from high-altitude balloons with fish eye distortion is no proof for a curve either. These videos ALWAYS show both an inverse curve at some point, proving it to be distortion of a straight horizon.

The fisheye lens can only bend straight lines. See "Perspective"
"All types of fisheye lenses bend straight lines. Aperture angles of 180° or more are possible only with large amounts of barrel distortion."

Your image looks to have been taken with a "fish-eye lens", which distorts the flat horizon with a hump in the very center.
Are you here to subtly invoke "fake curvature" into the conversation?

Lol no, it was taken from my phone so take from that what you will.

Re: Earth's Curvature From Your Airplane Window?
Hey guys, trying to find someone very mathematical that can work out what diameter a ball earth would need to be if the horizon appears flat at 35000 feet. I know we wouldn't see the horizon if it was a ball however is it possible to have a ball large enough that you wouldnt be able to see a curve at 35000 feet? Im guessing it would be some astronomical size if it is even possible?
Thanks
Thanks
