Document 35: A DISCUSSION OF METHODS OF REAL-TIME AIRPLANE FLIGHT SIMULATION
- Organisation
- The Pennsylvania State University Graduate School College of Engineering
- Original title
- Document 35: A DISCUSSION OF METHODS OF REAL-TIME AIRPLANE FLIGHT SIMULATION
- Author / year
- Carl Banks
- Eric Dubay’s claim
- He points out that the author uses a flat Earth model instead of a round one.
- Short fact check
- The author says that the Earth is actually slightly flattened at the poles.
In other words, he knows the Earth is round.
And he explains why a flat model can still be useful. - Key pages
- 11 and 10
- Assessment
- The document doesn't prove that the Earth is flat. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Document 35: PROPAGATION NEAR THE EARTH’S SURFACE
- Organisation
- Naval Postgraduate School
- Original title
- Document 35: PROPAGATION NEAR THE EARTH’S SURFACE
- Author / year
- Professor David Jenn
- Eric Dubay’s claim
- Eric points out that scientists use flat Earth formulas.
- Short fact check
- The author is asking a very specific question.
When are flat Earth formulas good enough?
He explains that the flat and round models can give different results, even before we reach the radio horizon. - Key pages
- 34 and 38
- Assessment
- The document doesn't prove that the Earth is flat. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Document 40: The relaxation of spherical and flat Maxwell Earth models and effects due to the presence of the lithosphere
- Organisation
- University of Toronto
- Original title
- Document 40: The relaxation of spherical and flat Maxwell Earth models and effects due to the presence of the lithosphere
- Author / year
- Detlef Wolf /1984
- Eric Dubay’s claim
- The researcher compares flat and round Earth models.
Eric points out that the results can be very similar. - Short fact check
- The researcher also tests a much larger ice sheet.
And this time, the simple flat model can produce a large error. - Key pages
- 24,19,31 and 32
- Assessment
- The document doesn't prove that the Earth is flat. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Document 47: Continuation from a flat to a round Earth model in the coplanar orbit transfer problem
- Organisation
- HAL open science
- Original title
- Document 47: Continuation from a flat to a round Earth model in the coplanar orbit transfer problem
- Author / year
- Max Cerf, Thomas Haberkorn, Emmanuel Trélat /2011
- Eric Dubay’s claim
- Eric is impressed because the researchers begin with a flat Earth model
- Short fact check
- In fact, the paper explains that the simple flat model cannot describe normal satellite orbits without engine power.
- Key pages
- 1,2,7,8 and 9
- Assessment
- The document doesn't prove that the Earth is flat. Quite the opposite, in fact.
