I’m a helicopter. I fly somewhere, anywhere, doesn’t matter. Before I land, I hover for a bit
Why isn’t the earth spinning below me?
By the time you take off you are already moving in the direction of the spin you fucking retard.
By your logic, if you are driving on a train that goes 200km/h and let something fall out of your hand, that object should shoot away at 200km/h in the direction opposite of the direction of the train.
Well, comparing the train to the aircraft is the big difference as the train is still physically attached to the spinning object
When the helicopter or hot air balloon or bird takes off from the ground, they are no longer attached to the spinning object and so whatever lateral momentum they had from the spin of that object will rapidly diminish as time elapses
Similar example is people use the “throw a baseball up in the air standing on the back of a moving pick up truck”
The baseball will initially move laterally at the same speed as the truck but immediately and quickly slowing down as the atmosphere resists the lateral movement
Comparing this to an aircraft that flies in any direction it pleases with no consequential effect from the supposed spin of the earth
Have you ever questioned the Coriolis effect? They tell us the snipers bullet must account for the spin of the earth but why doesn’t this apply to any other airborne object
Surely if the tiny bullet travelling as fast as a speeding bullet has to account for the spin then everything else would, too?
Bullets can’t course-correct mid-flight by burning fuel dude. That’s what most of your “problems” reduce to: burning fuel to overcome naturally present forces

The falling object is not attached to the train so why does it not move at the same speed in the opposite direction?
Launch a mini drone in a train and let it hover. By your logic, it should move in the opposite direction of the moving train. Why doesn't it?

How do you explain that it does not?
I didn’t specify which direction I’m travelling
You’re just retarded, handshake
Why? Explain.
Your train example is impressively retarded
Why? Explain.
