Is it just me or does this seem a little close to the crowd?

Did you ever hear of the principle of conservation of linear momentum?

What happens to parts of the aircraft if it clips a wing tip, and starts
spinning? It is certainly probable, and possibly even probable that some
parts of the aircraft could be flung in the direction of the crowd, if it
was spinning into the ground.

It generally will not, precisely because of that momentum thing. Instead, it
will continue flying with a damaged wing tip and some perturbation of the
flight path and handling characteristics.

Just from hitting a wing tip against something? Do you really think the
insignificant force from clipping a wing tip can swing 200 tons of aircraft
through 90 degrees and a 200-foot radius towards a crowd? The laws of physics
don't allow that.

I thought this thread was going well until I saw your reply.
I have 'mxsmanic' in my KILL filter so I don't see his posts :-)
As you say this will be yet another post hijacked :-(

Yes, the only thing worse than mxsmaniac are the idiots who reply to his

Yeah, I wondered if the other shoe was going to drop, all that time.

It took him that long to come up with that witty answer. ;-)
