Over the Atlantic the flight from Frankfurt came to Havana in severe turbulence. The Boeing 767 swayed violently forward and backward, and even sideways; it crunched and creaked scary. The wings seemed to flutter. The person sitting next to you clawing at the armrests; the children were shouting.
For some travellers, turbulence during the flight are just an inconvenience that breaks any of the meals-distribution, going to the toilet-delayed or in the worst case, leads to pour coffee on the pants. However, the turbulence panic attacks. They scream at each significant movement of the aircraft, clinging to the seats or the seat neighbor and come despite a freezing cabin temperatures, breaking a sweat and would get out right away.
The centre of gravity of the aircraft
What should you recommend such passengers? You can escape the turbulence never. But you should sit where the centre of gravity of the aircraft, its centre of gravity. And that is in the wings. There is also the lift (“Lift”) is generated. And where buoyancy and gravity against each other, when the plane is shaken, the effects are the lowest. The most significant movements in the case of turbulence, however, can be felt in the rear part of the machine.
The seat on the wing restrict the view to the ground; you can shoot from there, nice photos from the plane and is compensated by a lower impact of the turbulence. One way or the other, it is advisable to always wear a seat belt, even when the seat belt sign is switched off. Turbulence can occur without warning, and who is wearing a seatbelt, is not at least thrown out of the seat.
