Calculated weight and centre of gravity differs from earlier information with abt. 10% regarding both CoG and weight. The weight was later determined, by weighing of the salvaged visor, to be 65,5 tons, abt. 2% difference from the calculated result.
Based on the CoG of the visor and the volume of possible air pockets, it is not possible to dismiss that the visor under certain circumstances could float. It cannot be determined whether an air pocket would occur or not and it is not possible to with accuracy say for how long time an air pocket would delay the sinking of the visor.
