Whatever happened in the air during 'Flydubai' flight FZ1073 going from Dubai to Tel Aviv, Israel, was no less than a hair-raising incident. After a sudden fatal attack by the co-pilot inside the cockpit, the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft lost control and in just over a minute, creating a scary situation, it dived straight from a height of 34 thousand feet to 17 thousand feet. According to global radar data and analysis by aviation experts around the world, the speed of the plane's fall had reached approximately 30 thousand feet per minute, which is considered very close to supersonic speed. Under normal circumstances, any commercial passenger jet would break apart in the air due to such terrible atmospheric pressure, extreme speed and sudden sharp turn, but despite this, the aircraft's safety proved to be a surprising miracle. The structure of the aircraft withstood the terrible pressure and free-fall. American military pilots and experts flying the C-17 Globemaster have also expressed surprise at this incident. He said that even our strongest military aircraft are limited to a maximum descent rate of 20 thousand feet per minute, but the Boeing 737 Max's ability to withstand a free-fall of 30 thousand feet per minute and operating speed 100 knots more than the limit is incredible. During investigation, when the aircraft landed safely at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia, it was found that even though the radar attached to the vertical stabilizer had been dislocated due to the intense wind pressure, the main structure of the aircraft remained safe. This proves the exceptional strength of its airframe made of advanced carbon composite and special aluminum alloy, which proved to be stronger than the prescribed standards. Key Technical Features of Boeing 737 Max Even though this series of aircraft has faced criticism for some technical reasons in the past, the strength of its construction saved the lives of 180 people in this deadly crisis. Following are the key features of this aircraft: Strong Airframe Materials: The airframe of this aircraft is made from special aluminum alloys and advanced composite materials, which protect it from breakage even under extreme pressure and harshest flying conditions. Advanced Aerodynamics: Its winglets are based on natural laminar flow technology, which reduces air drag and keeps the aircraft balanced. Scientific Limitations: Although it is a commercial subsonic passenger aircraft, its airframe still has a high capacity to withstand unexpected atmospheric pressure and shocks, as seen in this scary incident.
