Forgive the noob question on sonar, but is the image produced on a single pass, eg from the rov above the eastern edge of the lane, or is it the addition of two half pictures, one from the east and one from the western pass ? Also what would the effective lateral beam width be, ie the length of image producted by a point object (are the N/S 'smearings' a reflection of pulse width and not debris dimension ?). Noting its a jpeg, any need to be careful about compression artefacts ?
Grity: never heard of Lilienthal: impressively ahead of his time !
The image of fuselage section looks like it supports a limited front/aft impact load, and if people/seats and attachments are intact, that would also indicate realtively limited impact loadings.
Is the linear debris trace trending roughly north from the centre taken to be the remains of a late breaking stb wing ?
