The following factors need to be considered when arguing against the established consensus that an American Airlines 757 hit the Pentagon.
Thrust, mass, speed, fuel load, damage resistance of building.
And imporantly EYE WITNESS ACCOUNTS.
The onus of proof is on you as you allege a Boeing could not have done this.
If it was a cruise missile, how can a cruise missile cause an explosion on the outside of the pentagon, and yet blow a hole through the inside ring of the pentagon and leave debris in the courtyard ?
If it was a Global hawk, what is the mass of a Global hawk ? what speed would it have to travel at to cause the damage seen at the Pentagon? how much fuel would it have to carry to cause an explosion the of size observed by cameras, what resistance would the pentagon have had to the impact of such a small craft ?
Can you consider that a Boeing 757 with a maximum take off weight of 123,600 kg could indeed have caused the damage seen with a 500mph crash into the Pentagon. And can you consider that the plane not being designed to crash would fragment, and the engines would disintegrate as they passed through a reinforced building.
The maximum thrust in kilos from the two RB211-535e's would be 247200 kilos of thrust. And propelling a potential 123 600kg's at 500mph+ into the Pentagon, would cause a great deal of damage to the Pentagon and would destroy the aircraft.
Its not just the plane hitting the Pentagon at 500mph+ its the Pentagon hitting the plane aswell. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction: which is why the wings would not have left a cookie cutter shape of themselves on the outside.
