Wtf are you talking bout - triangle - looks like a semi straight line that goes nowhere near the north pole.
How many of these flight s are there?
Do you have accurate reading for jet streams along that path?
This is the Earth as you believe it exists:

Now you flattard people don't dispute latitude lines, so when you move 1 degree of latitude "south" from the north pole, no matter which direction, you have moved ~69 miles. It's the longitudinal lines you dispute. So on your supremely retarded flat disc Earth, trigonometry reigns supreme. If you know 3 measurements of a triangle, you can accurately calculate the other 3 (out of 3 angles, 3 sides). We know which direction both Sydney and Johannesburg are from your undisputed position of the north pole. They are 123 degrees apart. We also know the distance from the north pole for both of these cities, on a scale undisputed. Using this simple online calculator (for those of you who don't understand science, it's probably too much to ask you to understand math, so someone has done it for you)
http://www.calculator.net/triangle-calculator.html ...all you need do is enter known, undisputed variables - in this case, 123 degrees and the two distances from the north pole of 8546 and 8018 for Sydney and Johannesburg respectively - and we can triangulate the distance between Sydney and Johannesburg using irrefutable numbers (so long as we assume the Earth actually is flat). In this case, if the Earth was flat, the two cities MUST be 14,558 miles apart. Yet somehow, Quantas and South Africa Airlines manage to send daily flights between the cities with aircraft that have a maximum range of less than 9,000 miles. They somehow manage to land planes ~14 hours and 10 minutes after they depart (jet stream notwithstanding) with aircraft that are not hypersonic. To fly 14,558 miles in 14 hours and 10 minutes, the aircraft must average 1027 mph, no matter which way the jet stream is pushing.
These are the optimal cruising speeds of the most common airliners in the world:
Quote
Airliners Optimum cruising Speeds (Mach)
Boeing 747-400 0.86
Boeing 787 0.85
Boeing 777 0.84
Boeing 767 0.80
Boeing 757 0.80
Boeing 737 -800 0.78
Boeing 737 - 300/400/500 0.74
Airbus 380 0.85
Airbus 340 -300/600 0.82
Airbus 330 0.82
Airbus 320 0.78
Airbus 310 0.78
McDonnell MD-11 0.85
The 777, in case you wanted to know, can't surpass .89 mach, which is WAY below 1027 mph. The jet stream simply can't make up that much difference, and especially not for aircraft flying both ways simultaneously.

Because there are Highways in the sky to control traffic, take advantage of jetstreams and keep up the fakery because people like you cant handle the truth.
you failed to answer my question - how many airlines do this flight and what are the wind speeds of all jet streams along that path, stop dodging.
Dodging? You have no fucking place calling out other people dodgers. I was writing that last reply the same time you were, stupid. And now, I have answered and demolished your shit argument with simple trig and a calm understanding of physics.

See you just dodged my question by claiming all flight paths are figured out by triangulating the distance from the North pole, the level of tardation you display is epic, stay deluded dude.
No, you stupid fuck, that is not what I claimed. What I DID claim was that by using metrics you yourself CAN'T DENY, I have mathematically disproven a flat Earth.

look at that footage of the first flight from Frankfurt to Miami, at one point they are heading north and the next they are going west , then south - they make about 6-10 directional changes - if you wanna contend they are triangulation their route by calculating their current position to the North pole and Miami's position to the north pole and then using great circle navigation to find the straightest line of travel on a pretend globe, I guess Pilots are retarded or you're simply wrong. Not to mention the flat horizon all the way but people are like:
"I can see the curve from Airplanes" - no, no you cant.
Triangulation based upon the north pole is not what happens in the real world simpleton, that's not how great circle navigation works.
I don't know how many times this has to be pointed out to you: people can't perceive the curvature of the Earth from airline altitudes. But just so you know, there IS CURVATURE all throughout that video, because it was filmed with... get this... a distorted lens, which you can see VERY CLEARLY at 3:57 and again at 7:01. It's astounding that you call a video filmed with a curvature the entire time is proof that there is NO CURVE. It's like... you're a fucking liar or something.
Tard, you just got fucking demolished. With your own source. Again. You should just hide your head in shame, shut your stupid mouth, and move on with your utterly wretched life without dragging people down with you with this stupid, thoroughly debunked bullshit.
