If you're making an aerodinamic model (simulating the airflow of a fast thing) you don't need Earth to rotate, because you're actually curious about the airflow on the surface of the thing. Your image is like saying "when grilling a steak I do not add frosting". When you fly on Earth you account for it because it exists.
>If you're making an aerodinamic model
Flying sims use it too
>when i calculate something i'm going to ignore X >therefore X doesn't exist
there is a reason we still use classical mechanics instead of quantum mechanics for most applications.
Ok so when is curvature needed in flight? NASA doesnt
No. The inertial navigation systems heavily depend on the spherical nature of our planet. The gyros deflect from their starting position over time, which makes it possible to calculate changes in geographic position with rather high precision.
Also, the onboard gyros on planes have to be adjusted for drift while flying, especially at long distances.

Once red a book about a flat earth scenario, except gravity was fricked and there was an up and down, gravity took you off and down the sides, as if the flat earth was on its side. Basically everyone lived on ridges and outcrops and you could fall down to your death rolling down a slope while sleeping. Civilization was barely possible and war were fought in balloons, nearly always to horrible results on all sides.
Inverse warfare would be cutting edge-- powerful militaries like the US and China would have massive military drills allowing them to drill through the disc, move underneath the top side, and emerge on whatever country they intended to invade.
Would you be able to use suction cups on your soldiers' feet and make them walk on the bottom so they can sneak up on your enemy from behind? Maybe magnets would be good I'm not sure how the bottom of the flat part works
>be edge nation >put colossal mass drivers on the underside of our land >flip the Earth up at an angle >all our enemies slide off the edge to their doom
Public executions by throwing people off the edge of the world.
Seriously, it's the easiest fricking explanation to the flat earthers. You KNOW someone would do it and televise it - or make it 'accidental' like the Ruskies like.
The problem is that gravity isn't uniformly "down" relative to the disc, or at least I've never heard it argued that way. Gravity is pulling to the middle of the disc which means you can't throw shit off the side. You could walk around the edge pretty comfortably.
But that's nonsense, gravity then wouldn't pull you down, unless you were at the north pole, but instead down and north, like picrel if that makes any sense
Meaning if you were somewhere south of north pole and jumped, you'd get pulled several feet northwise
why can't planes and missiles navigate assuming the earth is flat? because greenland isn't 3 times the fricking size of australia. same reason you can't use a world map to measure distances without doing a bit of math.
also, are you one of those people that think that on a spherical earth the pilots would have to constantly push the elevators down to follow the curve of the earth? and if a plane just kept flying "straight" it would shoot off into space?
planes flying "level" ie. not ascending or descending do so because their lift is in balance with the pull of gravity. lift depends on air density: so planes trimmed out to fly level will follow the density gradient of earths atmosphere - which is curved exactly the same way and for exactly the same reason (gravity) as the surface of the earth. basically assuming the earth is flat is perfectly sensible for most kinds of aerodynamic models.
The flat earth map doesn't look like that kek and it it still would affect it because of the guidance systems they use
Jet engines aren't strong enough to do that >Earth's curvature isn't needed for flight models
Cool we can agree on something, you're only half way there
Except for the coriolis effect, which does require corrections in long flights.
The missles don't anticipate the Coriolis effect they can only react to it which on the flat earth model they would even need to
>The flat earth map doesn't look like that
okay, post your map. let's take a few measurements and match it to irl data. you can't map the surface of a sphere onto a flat surface without distorting it. you can pick which kinds of distortions you get by using different projections - but you will always have distortions.
>Jet engines aren't strong enough to do that
do what?
>Earth's curvature isn't needed for flight models
i didn't write that, what i wrote is: >basically assuming the earth is flat is perfectly sensible for most kinds of aerodynamic models.
it is an okay approximation for the aerodynamic part of a simulator (the navigational part can be taken care of by using distorted maps or by warping the surface using number crunching as your simulated plane moves) - just like assuming the earth is a flat disk accelerating upwards constantly is an okay explanation for "why do things fall when i drop them?" there is a whole host of phenomena which can't be modeled by a flat earth.
This is the same map the UN uses >>Jet engines aren't strong enough to do that

jet engines can't propel you into orbit (let alone allow you to leave it) because they need air to operate - there are plenty of jet planes that have a TWR of above 1. also: if you agree you can orbit earth then you agree gravity is a thing and therefore the earth is not a disk. >The point is they train pilots how to fly on a flat earth model

Any yet precise long distance navigation under the assumption that the earth is a sphere works while navigating under the assumption it's a flat plane doesn't. Curious. Not only have you never done any math above 5th grade level but you've clearly never navigated using anything but GPS - which is quite ironic.

>Why are the worlds leaders using a old not accurate map?
They are not using it for actual navigation dumbass. It's a projection that has an advantage of every point being the correct center from the North pole. But as a result, longitudinal coordinates and measurements are wildly inaccurate. Go on, use the azimuth projection to calculate the distance between australia and south africa.
That still doesn't explain why they chose that specific one instead

Isn't most military flight tech based on a flat earth model anyways?
Absolutely not. The curvature of the earth needs to be taken into account when flying long distances and fire munitions.
Prove it. Show proof that not taking into account curvature will ruin long distance flying and munitions.
>prove it

That is not proof, anon
