Scifi.
This is not the ladies cross stitch forum.
Some of us actually already knew that pitot tubes point forward.
Your conclusions are all wrong.
An aircraft landing, progressively runs out of kinetic energy in all directions in the air as its airspeed slows down. It has no kinetic energy in the ground reference until it makes contact with the ground.
It can have vast amounts of speed in one frame of reference and nothing in another.
It is the transition from one frame of reference to another that causes all the problems.
How simple can it get?
