Seems some software bug its high time software is not included in critical systems like aircraft, automobiles, etc. But it is included in the name of "development" and "progress", which is only a code word for cost cutting. Rest in peace to those dead in this mishap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bharathh Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 This can't be just a software bug. The systems must have been fried as well. The plane would have had to come to a complete stop for it to fall like that. Anyways scary af! I hope the find out the reason this happened!

zen Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 The plane appears to be an ATR, which are used for short haul flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Never seen anything like this. It is as if the plane hit a bad patch of turbulence and its systems died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had our crashes, but very related to software. This I believe is ATR as reported in the news Navigation has a lot connected to real-time external issues like weather velu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnterTheVoid Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) Pilot here. That's not a "spiral". A spiral is a steep descending turn. In a spiral, the plane is still flying. The outer wing is flying faster than the inner wing. The speed is off the charts and the plane is subjected to high G loading. Spirals are very dangerous as the plane is subjected to forces greater than what it is built to and certified for. From the video alone, it looks like a "spin". Spins are usually nose down and the plane rotates around it's vertical axis. But this looks like a flat spin than a typical nose down spin. In a flat spin, the controls are useless. And it's ejection territory. Edited August 11 by EnterTheVoid coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Force is a measure of acceleration. Acceleration is the change in velocity over a time interval. If the direction or the speed is changing, the velocity is changing and the body experiences acceleration. Aircraft are certified to operate within certain g's. Problems arise if the aircraft is subject to g forces greater than what it is certified to. From the video, I'd hazard a guess and say it's looks like a stall - spin scenario. And not one of failure from high G loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can choose the safer manufacturer. Unfortunately, in the case of aircrafts, people don't even have the option to choose their preferred aircraft manufacturer. It is the choice of the airline coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
