An aerospace engineer claims to have found Malaysia Airlines flight 370 using revolutionary new tracking technology.

British expert Richard Godfrey claims the plane crashed into the Indian Ocean 1993km west of Perth and lies 4000m below the surface.

The West Australian aviation editor Geoffrey Thomas has described the new report as a “huge breakthrough”.

This is because the suggested crash location is in the zone where the University of Western Australia (UWA) Head of Oceanography Professor Charitha Pattiaratchi had earlier claimed MH370 is located.

An aerospace engineer claims to have found Malaysia Airlines flight 370 using revolutionary new tracking technology.

In a new report released on Tuesday, Mr Godfrey said he used a high tech system called weak signal propagation to track the plane’s final movements.

He describes the technology as a “bunch of tripwires that work in every direction over the horizon to the other side of the globe”.

As planes fly through these “tripwires” the signal is disrupted.

Mr Godfrey said he combined the new method with data from the satellite communications system onboard MH370 to track the missing plane’s doomed final flight.
