An expert has claimed that he might have solved the mystery of the missing MH370 plane after he shared the 'perfect hiding place'.

One man reckons he might have figured out an answer to the decade-long mystery surrounding the Malaysia Airlines plane that vanished on 8 March 2014, with 239 people onboard.

The flight set off from Kuala Lumpur and was bound for Beijing but never arrived.

It went missing, disappearing from any radar and everyone aboard has been presumed dead.

What ensued after the event was the most expensive search in aviation history and debris from the aircraft has been uncovered.

However, the plane has still never been found and many have shared their own theories as to what could have happened.

Now, one scientist has thrown his own theory into the ring, claiming to have “solved” the mystery of where the aircraft went.

According to Vincent Lyne of the University of Tasmania, analysis of the debris indicates signs of a 'controlled ditching'.

He wrote that the damage to the plane's wings shows similarities to those of a plane that Captain Chesley Sullenberger successfully landed in the Hudson River in 2009.

While there is a theory that MH370 went into an uncontrolled dive after 'fuel exhaustion', Lyne's study argues that instead the aircraft’s descent into the water was more controlled with the pilots deploying gear to help the plane down.

Writing on a LinkedIn post to accompany his study, Lyne said: “This work changes the narrative of MH370’s disappearance from one of no-blame, fuel-starvation at the 7th arc, high-speed dive, to a mastermind pilot almost executing an incredible perfect-disappearance in the Southern Indian Ocean.

“In fact, it would have worked were it not for MH370 ploughing its right wing through a wave, and the discovery of the regular interrogation satellite communications by Inmarsat.”

Lyne isn’t the first person who claims they've “solved” the mystery of what happened to the plane.

Some people have theorized that the aircraft was hijacked or shot down.

Someone else tried to claim that the passenger plane was flown into a black hole (a radar blindspot, not the space thing) with a “carefully planned” move to take it off the grid.

There’s debris, flight logs and clues to comb through as people try to figure out what happened to MH370 but unless or until we find the plane itself it’s going to be hard to prove any one theory.
