I am probably being a bit thick, but does this relate to the aircraft in question and if so, are you saying the aircraft lost 300mph in its climb?

But when did it stop going forward and just start dropping? The wing stopped working, so the the magic that pushes it up there went, but its inertia was also dispersed, so it fell to earth, no longer...

Just trying to picture at what point it stopped being the thing it was designed to be and turned into an object under the affect of gravity as 34 seconds after the last speed reading, it was passing...

I am confused, that's all. At 2:10:05 and M0.8 there was a L Up input with a warning and a massive drop off in IAS. At 2:10:16 a climb started, increased to 7000fpm then reduced to 700fpm with an...

I doubt that an object weighing hundreds of tonnes, moving at great speed under its own power and 10km in the air and designed to be in that environment, would end up in a simple trig equation, where...
