  1. Definitely incorrect. The artist doesn't fly.

  2. Unless we're talking about a certain triple seven they claim not to be able to find. In that case it was better for the powers that be to declare it a mystery rather than admit to a hijacking/interdiction.

  3. You're conflating a "full flying tail"with a separate "elevator". No aircraft ever used an empennage which functioned like the one this non-flying animator created.

  4.  @Flies2FLL  I know that.  My comment is for the benefit of those who don't, not an aviationist such as yourself. Clarence Taylor is credited with being the first to use a trimmable stabilizer in '29 on what would come to be the Piper Cub I learned to fly in. My point was regarding the motion we saw in the animation in which the elevator doesn't move and the stab swings radically. Stab trim motion would be slight and slow compared to elevator.

  5.  @davidjb3671  I guarantee you this plane wasn't equipped with an "electrically operated jack screw" moving the "leading edge". Nor were ANY aircraft yet so configured at this point in history.

  6.  @davidjb3671  Let's be clear: You want to stick with the assertion that this aircraft had an electrically operated jack screw to adjust angle of attack of the horizontal stabilizer like an MD-83's???

  7. I'm sure Captain Cherkoff wasn't the first to either join the Mile High Club OR die trying.

  8.  @alexturnbackthearmy1907  Because MH370 was exhibiting the same characteristics as the WTC airliners as it was detected on radar crossing back into Malaysia towards the twin Petronas towers in downtown KL, it was despatched over the sea and the wreckage collected rather than the pilot/hijacker creating publicity for his cause. Or at least, that was the excuse. Truth is, he was trying to force the corrupt dictator to release the leader of the opposition party from the prison term he was sentenced to earlier that same day.

  9. 16:26 The illustrator/animator doesn't know what an elevator is.

  10. Maybe his name was Sikorsky?

  11. How would a navigator "procrastinate"? Hard to put something off until tomorrow when the omission would result in one's demise today.

  12.  @kibathemechanic4967  Many pilots have come and gone. I'll bet he wasn't the first.

  13. You're mistaken about the stab. The artist reversed the fixed surface forward with the "trimmable" sic, elevator surface aft. Only the most rearward section of the horizontal stabilizer is moveable. The motion was in the right direction(downward) but it should have been the rearmost section.

  14.  @davidjb3671  Yeah...nah. Trimming is done by a moveable tab on the trailing edge of the elevator. The horizontal stabilizer on the PS-124 was fixed. I suggest you pick up a copy of 'Stick & Rudder'.

  15. Not sure what effect a hinged horizontal stab might have as it has never been done, though whatever it might have been would not have been good! I'm thinking it might increase lift as a deeply cambered chord would do.

  16.  @TruthNerds  Graveyards are full of aviators with incorrect opinions.

  17.  @TruthNerds  The point I'm addressing is simple. Your "opinion" and $.50 wouldn't buy a cup of joe.

  18.  @TruthNerds  Butt hurt much? LOL
