Hey /sci/ if the earth is flat than why don't planes flying

They do

That would be the case if the plane had infinite velocity or if there is no gravity

>if there is no gravity
If the earth was flat then all gravity would pull towards the center of it instead of straight down, no?

>>8928126
Didn't read through the post carefully and missed the flat Earth part, just assumed actual round earth

>>8928129
Also, if it was flat, the plane would just fly across the edge on other side
Gravity would point to the center of the disk

They do fly off and deviate. This is just one of many corrections that is taken into account...

Because the atmosphere becomes thinner and eventually they would lose their lift, and start to curve downward anyway. Planes have a maximum altitude.

Holy shit /sci/, get it together.

>>8928394
escape velocity has literally nothing to do with it

You bumped this thread for that? You're not even right.
