I'll throw something else out there. What if the plane never came back to ground but instead kept climbing, to the point it left earth's atmosphere? I know that a space shuttle has insane amounts of thrust/force/speed to get off the ground and into space, but could a plane, already traveling at 40,000 feet doing 500+mph pull the nose up and just keep going? What if that plane was so fricking high that it just left the gravitational pull of the earth???!?

put the crack pipe down and slowly step away from the computer, that's enough internet for you this year

Escape velocity is a bit higher than 500 mph
Like 36 times higher
Like 36 times higher

Except for the handful of pieces of the plane that have washed ashore in recent years.

This reminds me of the meauxjeaux 100 mph gas mileage post.

I've read some good ones over the years, but my man you are at the top of that list. Paging el Gaucho.....,
time to do work son !
ETA;
777Tiger, was there ever a preliminary finding on that 767 cargo crash in Texas a few months ago ?

A pilot friend once described a situation they call coffin corner to me.
Deflates the possibility of the pipe dream escape velocity. Also could be what the pilot did to his own plane, if he is the culprit?
Lifted from Quora:
For subsoninc jet aircraft flying in very thin air at high altitude, the speed required to keep the wings aerodynamic becomes faster and faster until it approaches the fastest speed the aircraft can fly at safely. Trying to climb higher, either purposely or by error at this point can cause the wings to lose lift. The resulting plunge speeds it further, approaching the maximum speed the air frame can tolerate. Any attempts to maneuver the plane at that speed can over stress the air frame and cause an inflight break-up.

Yeah like has anybody checked the moon, man?

I love this question and thanks for asking it.
You win post of the day.
Upvote forthwith.

I see that air breathing engines are not your forte.
