...anyone over 12 who’s ever built a RC plane could have told you years ago, if the nose falls off an aircraft during flight the CG (center of gravity) is gone, and the plane will NOT CLIMB....
then you built a really crappy plane.
: )
Correct. When the nose came off the aircraft would have pitched up to a radical angle of attack. The wing would have instantly stalled. IT WOULD NOT, COULD NOT AND DID NOT CLIMB!!! It dropped like a rock. In addition with the nose gone the front of the aircraft would be like a flat plate. At 250 knots this would have created a tremendous upward rotational force on the aircraft that would have also stalled the wing. That aircraft did not climb!!! The force on that flat plate area would have been approximately equal to the thrust of one of the jet engines of the aircraft. (I did the calculations years ago when the accident occurred.)
In all likelihood the aircraft pitched up (not climbed), the wing immediately stalled, forward speed slowed rapidly, began a tail slide, pitched forward, descended rapidly, the wing would then be unstalled and regain lift, at this point the aircraft would then pitch up and the wing would stall again. If the wings remained level this would repeat until impact with the ocean. It could also have went into a flat spin all the way to the ocean.
The one thing I am certain of is that aircraft did not climb and explode after losing its nose. Also once its nose was lost all computer input to the engines would be lost. The engines would have immediately went to idle. Those engines also probably had compressor stall due to the high angle of attack. Those engines were not producing thrust after the initial explosion and loss of the nose. The CIA produced video that explained the climb was an aerodynamic impossibility and a lie.
