- You've probably heard the saying that the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line. Do airplanes not care about flying quickly to their destination or what? What's up with all the weird and curved flight paths airplanes take to their destination? All will be explained in this video!

Always knew they flew in curved paths because of a round earth, but this helped me learn more about why it appears this way. Thank you! Do you around the distance a flight path would begin to look curved on a map?
I’m glad you learned something new! I hope you enjoyed :) and sorry could you rephrase your last question, I didn’t quite understand it
@@LuxPlanes Yeah, sorry poorly written with lots of typos 😂 for shorter flights (usually under 3 hours) the lines on flight radar will appear mostly straight. Do you know (about) how long a flight would have to be for the lines to be visibly curved?
@@PickledWombat715 no worries man! I’m not too sure actually, usually these great circle routes are visible on flights above 5 or 6 hours I’d say. But I don’t have a clear answer on that for you, sorry!
@@LuxPlanes 👍
Same I literally know lots of things about planes and I did learn things from this
You forgot that sometimes there is airspace closure/restrictions (ie around Disney and government buildings) and sometimes mountains
Yes that’s true! I was going to mention it, but usually these restricted airspace’s are low altitude and SIDS and STARS are designed to fly around them so I thought that would be enough information. But yes you are correct of course :)
What's with disney?
@@tegarandikash it is a safety measure put in place after the 9/11 attacks. Also applies to sporting events with over 30,000 people.
They don’t fly though Tibet cuz of the Himalayas

because the earth is not flat
Exactly! That’s one reason :)
Exactly lol
It's not that the earth is flat but the fact that planes have to fly in a straight and not towards the ground or toward space because they they will crash. So while earth is not flat there is some sort of imitation of flatness going on.
Great vid! Really informative and love the diagrams!
Thanks Matteo! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

Wow I finally found why they dont fly in straight lines 🤔 thanks!
You’re very welcome! Glad you learned some new stuff and I hope you enjoyed the video!
Airplanes DO fly straight.
Jeppesen Flight Charts are two dimensional maps that have straight WAY POINTS.
Flight plans contain WAY POINTS ..... A to B ......B to C .... And so on.
Auto Pilot & Air Traffic Control directives & corrections work with exact constant Course Headings from a 360-degree circle of a magnetic north compass.
If airplanes really flew like the moronic indoctrination video (above)
the correct course HEADING would be constantly changing throughout the flight.
@@raymond3803 dang chill, the video explains why the dont fly in a straight line from the origin to the destination. Yes, in the end the route is composed of a bunch of straight lines. But that’s like saying a circle on a monitor isn’t a circle because it’s just a bunch of squares if you look close enough
@@LuxPlanes *_"Yes, in the end the route is composed of a bunch of straight lines._* A bunch? That's not true. Sometimes only 1 or 2. Your video shows flights with a constant arc. ATC course directives & Auto Pilots would never work if your video was true.
Have you noticed a decrease in UFO/Alien data-info-videos the past 5-7 years?
I have. Mostly documentary reruns or compilations of old incidents. Very little new material. I think I know why. The Flat Earth movement/reality made popular and prominent UFO-ologists look stupid. A UFO expert should probably know, first & foremost, the correct shape of earth. Don't you think?
Mark Sargent single handedly destroyed Richard Hogeland's (Mr. Face on Mars) credibility & career in one debate. Richard Hogeland never to be seen or heard from again......... FACT!
@@raymond3803 ,you really love picking on every single detail. Generally it’s more than 1 or 2, but yes, it can be just 1 or 2
And as with many explanations, the video footage in the background is exaggerated to make certain points clearer and more understandable. Also how does bringing UFOs up fit into this discussion? Sorry this video triggers you so much but wow I’ve never seen someone so mad over the smallest things
Hello Luxplanes!
There is so much that I’ve learned from your videos about aviation. There is so many things that I didn’t even question before but I think now as OMG HOW DID I NOT EVEN REALISE
Btw I’m not a bot for all those others in the comments that will think that
Hey! Thanks a lot for this comment! Makes me super happy to hear things like this :)
Keep It up Luxplanes
Thanks a lot my friend :)
Your welcome
Wow nice video ! It's been a long time I didn't saw a video that good and interesting
Thanks a lot! :) I’m glad you enjoyed!!
*_"It's been a long time I didn't saw a video that good and interesting"_*

Try harder? NO! Try more hard.

Ohhh that’s why I feel something every time I go on airplanes ✈️ 🙏
Good....
BUT I DID NOT UNDERSTAND A SINGLE SECOND😂
Flatearthers heads exploding
Yeah hahaha
@@LuxPlanes What's so funny?
Thompson (Globe) vs Garcia (Flat) Superior Court, July 2019. Borrow County Georgia. Appeal #2. After Thompson lost his trial (As Plaintiff) and after Thompson lost his first appeal.
Judge allowed Sworn Affidavits to be submitted into Court (under penalty of perjury) Thompson went begging. Offered to split the $15,000 to anybody who could help him win the case. Thompson could not get one single solitary Astronomer, Astrophysicist, Professor, Weatherman, Astronaut, NASA Employee....... *NOBODY* ....... to sign their name and swear that earth is a globe.
Flat Earth sworn affidavits came flooding into Garcia. From all walks of life. Engineer., Land Surveyor, Train Conductor, Retired Pilot, Travel Agent, You Name It. Just for the asking.
Then .............. Thompson's Attorney, *QUIT THOMPSON!!!* Now that's funny.
@@raymond3803You demonstrated how unhinged flat earthers are
@@smithereenss5840 Typical non-specific, vague, unsubstantiated comment to refute me. Point to any and all assertions (within my comment above) that are false. Explain the WHAT or WHY that makes them false. Then correct them.
How about doing that?
For those who are not going to check the full video (and yes, i totally agree because it is boring to watch) The reason why is that is, is because there is jet streams (Between cold and warm place) where the winds pushes objects in the sky, and this applies to planes, they use this to save fuel.
The thing about jet streams is that jet steams are mostly only common in winter months so there’s no point right? No, Air Traffic Control towers (ATC), ATC are usually not placed in a straight line, and ATCs or Airports would be scattered in different directions, so the planes have to usually go approach the ATCs nearest to the straight path to the destination for communication with the ground incase of a emergency, similar to checkpoints like in car racing games or car rally games.
(Extras) This is also to prevent planes from colliding into each other
This had been a thought in my head just sitting there thank you for answering
Damn I rmbr playing with u when u used to stream Fortnite hahah😄
K I know I sound dumb but why when I fly on royal Jordanian going from Amman to Washington 13 hours and it fly’s in a straight line it dosent curve but other airlines like Qatar airways fly over greenlend
Bro has more knowledge in aviation then I have in school 🗿
Ik same🗿
I've always wondered why...
Thank you very much
I knew this earlier but am glad you discussed this here. My query is just how does the pilot accomplish this route? If you set your route by setting the plane to fly a constant compass heading, say 270 due West, does that give you the shortest route or does it just follow the same Latitude you’re already on? How does the plane fly a great circle route? Thank you, Dr. J.
You earned a subscriber that was an amazing video know I know why planes curve on flight paths
Know I know?
Great video
Nice vid 👍
Thanks a lot man!
How the hell would they beat bloodbath without straight fly (who knows just knows)
Well I wouldn’t think planes would be Ga- so either way Lux is telling us something (figuratively and literally)
Anyone curious enough feel free to look up Flight 8 from Delta on Thursday November 2 from Haneda to LAX, I Don't understand why they took a direct flight over the ocean and through several portions of severe weather....I was on that flight and the turbulence was horrible.
Jet streams, the highways of the sky as they say…
The pilots need to also line up properly to the runway line to land perfectly and they follow the airways
this teached me many things thank you!!
Me who doesn’t understand 90% of anything my bro said
I’m sorry that it wasn’t very understandable. I try my best to make it clear to people of all levels. I will keep trying to make things simpler! Thanks for your feedback
It’s really not that hard to understand
It is understandable, you just need basic aviaition knoledge.
@@Airbus_A380AX yeah I’m new to aviation and I’m also under 12
Hello luxplanes I am a huge fan
Hey! Thank you :)

Cool now I know why
i thought it was so the plane could line up with the runway😂

No, but i love it whenever im on a Plane and it banks
it is straight. It is just a chord over the sphere.
Why can't we fly south straight from South Africa to Canada?
Why would we even?
I don't wanna be that guy but, shouldn't the drawing of Australia to SA flight be curved under? and the Africa to SA on should probably be straight
Yes, you are correct. When flights are south of the equator the curve goes downwards. I apologize for the error in editing
"First priority of any flight is safety" What about 9/11? Didn't seem so safe to me.

R.I.P flat earthers 💀
wont the answer be the planes cant go in the straight line because the earth IS ROUND!
Say whatttttttttttt
Move houses flat earthers will come to your house
Do forget about politics. Some routes are made to avoid certain airspaces or even countries.

They should know about other maps instead of the common mercator
Who should?

As usual mainstream bullshit knowledge pack between ads
It's mainstream for a reason though.
Either it's true;
Or there's a giant conspiracy hiding the truth;
The answer's not complicated in any way - the first option is magnitudes more likely.
So gay for an airplane not to fly straight
Does this guy reply to everyone if he does he will pin this comment

Lets say we had a bad mathematician who put too little kerosene on an aircraft. What would happen if they only realised that they had low fuel when the landing airport was the nearest. Would they go in a straight line to conserve fuel?
Such a situation is virtually impossible as there are so many layers of safety to prevent that. However, if that theoretically happened, yes, the airplane will get priority as it’s in an emergency situation and everything will be done to make it possible to land
@@LuxPlanes it's basically air Canada flight 143
This is rubbish. They do fly in straight lines, as you can check on a globe. Maps are distorted so routes appear to be curved. Routes will vary due to restrictions on where they can fly over.
