save the plane and with it himself. so he s motivated to do that. if he has time, he ll give us a call. but there s other data coming from that plane, all of which stops at this moment. it makes no sense. richard, button this up for us. well, there s one bit of data that we can t pin down. but the rumor is, the new scientists newspaper has rolls-royce, the plane s engine manufacturer, has received data, big data, because it monitors all engines from rolls-royce aircraft around the world. that rolls has got data, from the engines. but needless to say, rolls-royce not only would they not confirm they ve got the data, obviously they wouldn t tell us what the data is. so we re still following that lead, as well, wolf, whether or not rolls-royce, the aircraft manufacturers of the engines, actually knows a little bit about this story too. richard quest, kit darby, guys, thanks very much. we re going to have much more coverage of the missing plane as mystery continuing.
the investigation. we are still very much in the search process. wolf? so what s the major challenge in appreciating, understanding this radar data? because it seems to be open to some interpretation. reporter: absolutely. so here s what we have so far. the civilian radar, and let s throw back up that map one more time. it says that the plane s last known position was right there. over the south china sea. and we know that it was the plane, because at that point, the transponder was on. but the military data now that we ve been talking about since yesterday, authorities are saying it may have, an emphasis on the may have, picked up the plane, veering hundreds of miles off course, putting it in the middle of the malacca straits. but the reason why they re not certain is because military radar only detects the presence of an object in the air. it doesn t identify the plane to know that it was malaysia airlines flight 370.
