you could fly from Australia to South America non-stop in only 12.5 hours, which is quite the astonishing feat. For direct flights with stop-overs in Auckland, you’re looking at about 16 hours all up, which is considerably longer.
It's about $3708 AUD for round trip flight which seems very expensive
What? No, ffs you don’t have to point the nose down to avoid flying off the planet in an airplane. You are constantly under the effect of earths gravity until you get far enough away that it’s not able to pull you towards its center anymore.
Planes fly by exploiting the Bernoulli principal. The shape of the wing is flat on the bottom, curved on the top making the top edge longer than the bottom when looking at its cross section. By moving forward using the engines, the air hitting the front of the wing gets split with some going under and some going over. The air going under remains at pressure while the air moving over top of the wing has to go further in the same amount of time. Doing so causes the air to be moving faster but loses pressure as a result. With higher pressure air under the wing and lower on top, the planes wing creates lift. Once you get high enough and the air pressure has dropped too low, you no longer can generate enough pressure difference to lift using your wing surface area and engine thrust. And if you get too high there’s not enough oxygen in the thin air you’re in to combust your fuel.
You cannot fly off the edge of the earth with an airplane. If the lack of air to your engine doesn’t stop your progress first, the lack of air going over and under your wing will do it eventually. There’s no need to tip the nose down to keep from flying off, 9.8 metres per second per second Terra Firma Brand gravity recipe number 47 does a fine job of bringing your ass back down without any help of the control stick. You are CONSTANTLY falling while flying and only the lift from the wings keeps you up there.
Seriously Vlad, you’ve got some pretty based takes on things but this is just completely utterly fucking stupid to put forward as any proof of a flat earth. Whatever brain bleach you need to use to remove that shitty idea, you chug that like a fat kid finding a jug of chocolate milk.
As for the sonar, I’ve said enough already I’ll let one of the water gurus rip that apart.
To the ice wall? I don't know. Have people tried to make non-chartered treks through Antarctica? The conspiracy claims that there is an international treaty to ward off the continent. No trespassing.
I am a globe theorist. Phenomenon such as the sunrise and sunset do not quite fit the flat earth claim of a spotlight moving around.
Nevertheless I find the theory compelling and interesting.
Does submarine sonar account for curvature of the bottom of the sea?
Do airplane pilots point the nose of plane slightly downward to account for the curvature of the earth's surface?
show me da curve
What's the shortest route between Australia and Chile?
This seems to be the most available commercial route: https://www.chimuadventures.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/flightPaths_QANTAS.jpg
It does not fly over antarctica, though.

How would that work on a flat Earth? This route assumes that the Earth is round.

TRANSLATION: You cannot fly past the ice wall
Seriously though, if everything is as they say, why can't I go there?
