Miracle or BS? - Toyota Yaris Forums

This would have to be

right? There is no way you can land a plane with one wing as there would not be even airflow.

Very good mix of microsoft flight sim and real camera work. The plane has enough power to hang on the prop, and full-span alierons MIGHT provide enough control athority to level the plane, but when he touches down you can tell the plane is CG...it looks like a high end PC rendering of the aircraft.

An Israeli pilot landed an F-15 with only one wing, so it's possible to land a plane (albeit it was a jet) with one wing. That is so clearly CG though that there's no argument or poll really to have.

This is (really well made) BS.

the flip landing part looks like animation to me.

Lack of flex and bounce upon landing was the giveaway. Also the plane's motion without the wing seemed unnatural. I expected it to fall to the side not flutter.

This is a pretty nice CGI.

Neal Armstrong of Apollo 11 fame landed his Navy Panther fighter jet with only three feet of one wing remaining. It's happened before.

Exceptionally well done, but I have read on other sites that it is BS, with documentation. Plausible, but apparently BS in this case.

CRAP!

total BS. You can't "land" a plane with NO sort of wing on one side. The most you could do was fall and pray. There would be no way to right the plane when its missing all its control flaps from one side.
