AirRace plane loses wing, watch what happens next!
>> ^deathcow:
this is real, I know a guy who knows someone who read directly about someone who was there
That video has even fooled some good pilots. Apart from the obvious fakery of the landing, right after the wing allegedly comes off, the plane starts spiraling on the down line. The thing is that it's turning into the remaining wing. That's aerodynamically impossible, and I'm not talking about "the engineers say a bumble-bee can't fly" type of impossible, there is no way for it to happen.

The thing is there is no reason a plane like that wouldn't be able to safely land with one wing. It would be really hard to stabilize but should be possible.

How would that be possible? Would the other wing caused it to have too much lift and then just turn into a death spiral?
