“I always say that if you are afraid of flying, you sit there.”

Daily There are thousands of planes flying simultaneously around the world. Many of us take a plane from time to time, whether to travel and see new places, to visit loved ones or for work. However, there is very little we actually know about aviationa topic that many find fascinating.

Recently, Paül gave an interview to the ‘B3TTER’ podcast in which he gave the keys to some of the most curious questions about airplanes. One of the unknowns that was resolved in this interview was What are the safest seats on a plane?.

Popularly, it is believed that the safest area of ​​a plane is the tail. But nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, insisting on the safety of the plane as a means of transportPaül said in ‘B3TTER’ that The most stable area of ​​the aircraft is the front.

“For me, these are obvious things, but people don’t really know. The center of gravity of a plane is not in the center of the plane, it is a little further forward. It is always more in the wing area and closer to the nose. This causes the plane to have a leverage effect with the movements of the atmosphere through which the tail area always moves a little more or behind the center of gravity, while the area in front always moves less,” explained Paül.

“In fact, people in the cabin notice the turbulence less than a person who might be in line. This is why I always say that if you are afraid of flying or hate movement, sit in the front, closer to the wings or between the wings and the cabin.”, he recommended in the aforementioned podcast.
