There are no GPS transponders on commercial airliners. In fact, most aircraft don't have any GPS capability whatsoever (instead using radar transponders and ACARS). Newer aircraft have what is called an ADS-B transponder, which takes GPS data from a receiver, and sends that data to ADS-B stations on the ground (which is why that transponder is on the underside of the aircraft). An upgrade to the ADS-B system will come in future years, as low-Earth orbit satellites will take the place of the ground stations for taking ADS-B data from aircraft.

Commercial Aircrafts supposedly use gps to autocorrect for the curve of the Earth.

Anyone?

Simple, the sun varies in its orbit between the tropic of cancer and that of the tropic of capricon

why does it vary in orbit?

Lolwut

oh. why is the sun orbiting earth? also does anyone know what the underside of the earth looks like?

Quantum levitation/Magnetic locking? Ask God next time you see him...

The underside of earth?- idk has anyone seen the edge - according to vedic cosmology there are 7 planes above and 7 planes below the terrestrial plane we live on - the upperplane concept was basically simplified in Heaven and the lower planes into the underworld aka hell.

nice distinction.

How much easier would communication be if you have line of sight ?.. That's why we loose airplanes from our radar.

always taking about god and religion
always bashing science
clinging to an outdated theory about the earths origin and nature that goes completely against science

this some sort of quasichristian hipster angle you're going for? i feel like you wear suspenders with crosses and pentagrams on them and think you're deep because you do so.
