www.dictionary.com/browse/transponderI realize you may have gotten confused if I had just written transponder, so I included the navigation in there to help you out.
The engineers referred to this aircraft control as a Transponder Navigation Control Unit... we're not talking about the squawk transponder ALL aircraft have!
WTF do u want me to call so u understand?
Would u have really understood C Band, Ku Band, L-3 Com ACS?
I realize now, by the fact that simple physics evades y'all, explaining a relatively simple plan is gona seem like Particle Physics.
ginger pom: I've managed many projects... and this may surprise you, but not everybody is incompetent. And like I told y'all before everything didn't go to plan that's why u've got an idiot like me trying to explain the plan to u.
Anyway sorry I imagined the whole thing... it was Mussafa and his box cutter.
pweedas: if you used the same "rationality" used to dispute my "transponder" note and examined the events around the WTC demolitions we wouldn't be having this conversation. In fact just do some basic calculations g = 9.8 m/s2.
Thanks mr FlySurfer for your kind advice. I did use the same rationality regarding the WTC soon after it came down. Being an engineer I was intensely interested in it and followed it in great detail. I watched the event unfold on live tv as it happened and when I saw the fire crew running into the building I was extremely sad for them. I could see what was sure to happen an hour before it came down and I was not at all surprised when it happened. The only thing that initially surprised me was that the second tower hit came down first.
Nothing I have seen since regarding the whole episode gives me the slightest doubt that it was anything other than what was reported.
Also, I took your advice and looked up the link you posted,.. and,.. it says,.? exactly what I said.;---
--------------
tran?spon?der
-noun
a radio, radar, or sonar transceiver that automatically transmits a signal upon reception of a designated incoming signal.

I have to admit, it's now been over 20 years since I fitted a transponder so in case they have changed radically since then, I did a google search on "transponder navigation unit" and came up with just one response, which turned out to be this thread.
And it was you who used the term.
Somehow I don't think I will take that as the definitive authority.
Maybe Google is having an "off" day so if you know of any other references to this 'transponder navigation unit' in aircraft I would be really interested to read it. Maybe you could post a link.? I might even buy one.
Also, I'm a bit sad that you find "simple physics evades y'all " since many years ago I put in the effort and did a 5 year engineering degree and then used it for about 40 years to make a living.
So although I don't count myself as the smartest guy in the world I kind of considered I had a reasonable grasp of most things related to the real world.
"The real world" I say, not science fiction.
Regarding your request;-
"In fact just do some basic calculations g = 9.8 m/s2."
, I consider I am reasonably conversant with the matter, although being an old person I often use the imperial version g=32ft/sec/sec.
They both mean the same thing.
I've played intimately with this variable for the last 50 years because it's the number which takes over when the big fan on the front of my aeroplane stops turning.

(That's the aeroplane with the transponder in it by the way. But definitely no transponder navigation unit.)
At that point another equation takes over which is PE=mgh, -Potential Energy =(mass X gravity X height ) in whatever units you like.
They all translate to the same thing, 'you're coming down' ! (double

)
And then finally, the last equation E=1/2 mv^2. This is the big one!
It combines with another one which goes s= ut + 1/2 at^2 to give you a very hard time.

It's the one which makes all the noise as you spead yourself 50 metres along the ground.

You wouldn't like it. It chips a lot of paint.
I would try and avoid it if I were you.
Coincidentally, these are the same equations which dictated the outcome of the last seconds of the WTC.
They are all Newtons fault. Nobody had any trouble with this until he came to blows with an apple or something and then got carried away with his description of the event.
Let me see now, what else did you say?
Oh yes.
"The engineers referred to this aircraft control as a Transponder Navigation Control Unit... "
I would check on their qualifications if I were you.
And :-
"Would u have really understood C Band, Ku Band, L-3 Com ACS?"
Yes I would. Feel free to use them but I don't know why you would want to.
None of them make any difference to the argument.
And then:-
" that's why u've got an idiot like me trying to explain the plan to u."
Don't be too hard on yourself Flysurfer. It makes for an interesting discussion and a remarkable insight into the human condition.
And then:-
"Anyway sorry I imagined the whole thing... "
Apology accepted.
FlySurfer, the ultimate test on anything like this comes down to the question I asked in my earlier post.
Which is, how many people would you require to carry out such a plan and then how do you keep them quiet for so long afterwards?
If this question can't be answered in a plausible manner then whatever scenario you propose is proven unworkable.
Everything else is just passing wind. (or is that "shooting the breeze?)
