  • @mlrs84 assuming destruction,and total hydraulic system loss early is the impact the elevators on the rear are free to be moved by the slipstream,plus the aircraft is entering while in a shallow dive,the floors are not sloped so they act as a agent to redirect the aircraft's(or what is left of it) flight path to a more horizontal motion,the upward motion is also another way this manifests itself by way of rebounding to the top of a floor

  • What do you mean? Of course the pilot is killed the instant the cockpit hits the wall, but the plane will continue through until all the kinetic energy of the motion has been converted in shredding the plane. If that means that the plane appears to lift up, then that may just be because the aluminium body is sliced by the floor and the upper part is bounced up. Do you find it strange? After all, it's just a simulation, the real thing happened in milliseconds....

  • yes, the floorslabs are definitely stronger than the aluminium + the impact angle makes things for the aluminium worse

  • Question:

    How does a pilot "pull up" after the plane has impacted a structure?

    Or are the floors made of titanium?
