Hi,
In my post
#876 i presented a model trying to explain the debris field shape.
Since that, analyzing all info posted (on possible a/c "attitudes" after 02:10:10) i put a
similar model, still imagining
a/c "heading" ENE before crashing.
I took into account:
Engines psn
1 wing/MLG PSN (only considered the one at 5 oīclock)
Nose up at crash
Left bank at crash
Yaw to right at crash
255/075 signature of most debris
Engines traveling mostly vertical to sea bed
The distance between engines and psn of RH MLG as due splash/disturbance
My own Hypothesis of events since 02:10:10
Feeling (pattern recognition) of debris shape and orientation (IMO, clearly not random)
Model follows:
(milliseconds between points)
- A/c hits water, tail first at high vertical speed
- With less horizontal speed and going ENE
- A/c eng #1 hit surface, detaches and itīs "core" dives near vertically
- A/c eng #2 detaches, travels a little bit further than #1 and dives near vertically
- LH MLG separates from rest of wing and dives to seabed
- RH MLG separates from rest of wing and dives to seabed
- Wings and fuselage disintegrates and its pieces "showers" traveling WSW
to seabed. Itīs parts submerging accordingly itīs characteristics (mass
and geometry) thus creating the debris shape.
For the image:
Waiting further info. to confirm PSN of eng. #1 and RH MLG that could reinforce or eventually kill this models (the first and this one).
And eventual info on existence of sea currents capable to create the observed "debris trail"
Mac
PS
With the objective of try to figure out the possible horizontal "trajectory" when a/c hit water.
