Texas businessman recovers cellphone that fell from plane
A North Texas businessman used the "Find My iPhone app" to find his phone in a pasture after it fell about 9,300 feet during a flight from Houston. Ben Wilson says his cellphone still works. Wilson, who owns Gas Corporation of America in Wichita Falls, and a pilot were in a Beechcraft Bonanza returning home Monday. (kxan.com) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Maybe.....just maybe it was in an otter box lol
Those darn "pressure changes" will get you every time! Great photo of the "Bonanza" in the article. Love the new "high wing" design and fixed gear.
Fishy to say the least, these guys should come up with a better "story"
Terminal velocity of any object is 120mph...about 170fps
Only in a vacuum.
Technically terminal velocity in a vacuum would be ~186,000 miles per second, since terminal velocity is reached either when the drag force equals the weight of the object or when the object reaches the speed of light. A feather that weighs 1/4 oz falls a lot slower than a raindrop which weighs a lot less because of the differences in drag coefficients.
Depends on the inherent drag of the object. That's what parachutes are good for.
