[speedminded]

How do you know that they will have this show on their TVs?Talked to the manager and verifying with the GM today, if they don't want to put a show on in the middle of the week then we'll go somewhere else.

Legally I don't even know if they can broadcast sound or not...that's what I heard at Applebees once anyways :dunno:


ima go with the "no im not going. Yes it will take off"We don't like your kind anyways!

[Nittanys1]

Damn I'm going to be pulling a double...I need to set the dvd recorder :D

[ironchef]

LOL, I can't believe there's actually going to be a meet for this.

[speedminded]

LOL, I can't believe there's actually going to be a meet for this.There's been 3 top debates on the internet since the world wide web began.

1) Religion
2) Politics
3) Plane on a Conveyor/Treadmill (aka POAT).

Depending on how close to an election sometimes #2 & 3 change precedence. :tongue:

[ironchef]

Interesting, I thought the whole POAT started like a year or so ago.

[speedminded]

Interesting, I thought the whole POAT started like a year or so ago.The acronym maybe but not the theory, it's been stumping pilots and sadly enough aeronautical engineers for years. It began to get majorly popular once Mythbusters began to acquire the resources and creativity to put it on their books.

[ironchef]

Is the original theory based on a vacuum, friction free type setting or real life?

[speedminded]

Is the original theory based on a vacuum, friction free type setting or real life?Real life scenerio.

[santacruz77]

[speedminded]

rofl

[gt4rcdude]

leaving now. . .

[GAtegs]

I would have gone, but I don't know if I would know anyone there except maybe Jason...maybe next time.

[GAtegs]

Is it just me or was the plane not supposed to be sationary before it took off?

[gt4rcdude]

The "myth" was if a conveyer belt was traveling at the same speed but in the opposite direction of an aircraft, would the airplane take off?

The test was to have a conveyer belt under an airplane, the airplane applies normal take off power. As forward speed increases, the conveyer belt speed increases equally in the opposite direction.

Aircraft transmit power by propeller or turbine to the air, not the ground. As soon as the prop started biting into the air, the equal and opposite reaction is the aircraft to move forward. Wheel speed is irrelevant. The only thing the belt did was increase the speed of the wheels.

When flying airspeed was attained, the aircraft flew. Neither the propeller nor the wing cared how fast the wheels were spinning. Aircraft always operate in relation to the air by thrust and control surfaces, even on the ground. Wheels just carry it to and from the runway.




I know, blah blah blah!


Good meet, wish I could have stayed longer. I Caught the full scale test at home. No surprise!
