The design of the UAVSAR focuses on two key challenges:
First, repeat pass measurements need to be taken from flight paths that are nearly identical. This instrument utilizes real-time GPS that interfaces with the platform flight management system (FMS) to confine the repeat flight path to within a 10 m tube over a 200 km course in conditions of calm to light turbulence. The FMS is also referred to as the PPA (Platform Precision Autopilot). |
Okay, let's discuss that. What is it for? Examining "Crustal deformations", i.e. looking at the earth's crust. Currently it is looking at volcanoes in Japan. The part that you keep jumping on, "repeat flight path", simply says that they have to over the same route several times to make sure their data is correct. The article states clearly that the first one flew in 2009, or eight years after 9/11.
Let's assume that they had one in 2001. What was the purpose of it flying into the Trade Center? To look as seismic faults on Manhattan Island? You might say I'm beeing flippant, or mocking, but that's what the device is for.
The device itself looks nothing like the "object" in the 9/11 video. Also if you look very closely at the video pictures you can see that there is not just one on the starboard side of the airliner, as claimed in the video, but one on the port side as well. Landing gear housings, just like in the photo I posted. You're looking for something that isn't there, because you want to believe it.
