If u go back to my first comment I explained pretty clearly but ill be more specific
if the coptor goes straight up in the air 90° straight up
Hovers for hours, no adjustments no controls just stay hovering without any lateral movement..
The coptor after hours of being in the sky in that same position will come back down to the ground in the exact same spot it took off from. Exact same spot.
What I am saying is conventional physics would say "goes straight up in the air 90° straight up" and "Hovers for hours, no adjustments no controls just stay hovering without any lateral movement" are contradictory to each other. Maybe this is obvious to me because I am an engineer. In the real world, the only way something would remain in the same place like that is because it is being controlled, either by a human or a computer. The major disturbances preventing this are the wind and mechanical imbalance in the helicopter, and buried under these is the effect of the earth's rotation.
But what if we make a perfect helicopter that can push straight up in perfect balance with no sideways thrust and run it on a day with absolutely no wind?
In this theoretical situation, then the prediction would be that that such a helicopter would drift slowly due to the earth's rotation. If such a perfect helicopter and windless atmosphere existed, and the copter were flown to a mile of altitude near the equator, then while up there we would expect it to drift westward a bit more than a quarter mile per hour due to to the earth's rotation.
This experiment is pretty much impossible to do though. Any hovering helicopter is being controlled by a pilot or a computerized flight control system.
Really appreciate the response...I get what your saying that it couldn't be preformed to perfection because of outside factors such as wind but i can be preformed and has...consider this...
The earth rotates a full revolution in 24 hours. 1 full circle.
If the coptor takes lift in Florida and hovers for 3 to 4 hours which is possible to do and may experience some draft naturally...the rotation of the planet according to the heliicentric theory would have that helicopter land back down hours later in California or the pacific ocean.
That just doesn't jive my man.
Why would the spin effect the coptor and have it drift with earth as u state?
A helium balloon isn't affected by its spin...it just floots up
Also if what's your saying is true than planes traveling east to west and vice versa should have way different times as one way would be faster traveling with the spin and coming back would take way longer against the spin...we dont see that at all.
I was thinking about this today, and even if one were to build such a perfect machine and run it on a windless day, when the copter started to drift westwards it would then be in a relative wind and so come to a stop eventually unless a horizontal thrust was applied.
As to your copter in Florida, these "hovering arguments" are always relying on a naive picture. Aircraft are built for the air, so their performance is relative to what the air is doing. In the globe model, the earth has a 4000 mile radius and rotates once every 24 hours. This does imply, as anti globes always dismiss as ridiculous, that at the equator the earth is moving a bit more than 1000 mph. In Florida, it would be more like 850 mph or so because it is at about 30 degrees of latitude. When the helicopter is on the ground, it is moving the same speed. Also, all the air is moving on average that speed, and what we call "wind" is really any difference between the air speed and the ground speed.
So the globe model would be that when the helicopter takes off into "hover," it is moving eastward at the local ambient ~850 mph and it lifts into air also moving on average that speed except for whatever breeze there might be. If the helicopter actually were to hover so that it would be stationary according to a non rotating earth, this would involve flying west through the air at over 800 miles per hour, which is clearly impossible.
Why would the spin... as you state?
In the thought experiment I said before, the rising object at tropical and lower mid latitudes would be pushed west for the same reason that someone who tries to walk from the interior to the perimeter of a running merry-go-round is "pushed backwards." In order to rotate once per 24 hours when you are a mile up in the sky, you need to be moving a little faster. If you do not push yourself faster, it will appear on the ground like you were "pushed backwards" which on earth is west.
A helium balloon isn't affected by its spin...it just floots up
As I said, at the equator, where the up/down-east/west Coriolis is maximum, it would be about a quarter mph for rising a mile. First of all, at a mile up you would not be able to resolve this drift in the balloon, especially when it is masked by random winds. On top of that, even if we could stop all wind and measure the balloon precisely with a telescope, the effect would die out quickly, because once the balloon is "pushed west" (to the person on the ground it appears this way), then the balloon is in a relative wind. We said there is no wind in this experiment, so if the balloon is moving west it experiences drag and so "slows down" (this "slowing down" as it appears to the person on the ground is really a "speeding up" eastward).
planes traveling east to west and vice versa should have way different times
Again, this is the naive view. The plane is a machine that flies in the air. The globe model is a rotating earth with an atmosphere that is on average rotating with it, and "wind" is a difference between air speed and ground speed. You may find it counterintuitive, you may choose to reject it, that's fine. But standard Newtonian mechanics says that if the ground is moving from Los Angeles to Atlanta at about 850 mph, then the air above it more or less is too. A plane on the runway waiting to take off is moving that same speed. When it does take off, it does so into this "moving air" and that is what it flies in. So if there is no wind, the flight time is about the same in both directions. If there is significant wind, then one way is a bit faster than the other (the one with a "tail wind.")
No offense but I read paragraphs of mental gymnastics. As per the baloon floating up while the heavy aircraft is subjected to this invisible and selective pull and drag. A mosquito isn't affected but 747s are.
It doesn't need to be this complicated when dealing with straight up buoyancy and density. Exactly what my senses are experiencing.
Still not sure the answer to why a plane traveling east to west has the same travel time coming back when clearly according to the spin one way should be significantly faster but I digress.
Every culture believed the earth to be flat including the )ews and the Torah.
This changed when masons and Jesuits decided too.
Again I'll trust my senses, what the Bible states and every single culture proceeding us over a bunch of known scum.

How is that possible if the earth is spinning?
