No, it is not the same:Originally Posted by Interlude
Again, for the 3rd time.
The plane's wheels are the same thing as the dyno's roller. It outputs no pwr or tq.
The treadmill does output HP and TQ, in negative direction.
So imagine it this way, instead of having your porsche sexing up on top of the dyno, this time, the dyno is doing a reverse cowboy (on top) on your porsche :idb:
The wheels on my car are powered by my engine... what are the wheels powered by on a plane?
Another example: Let's say that my car is on a dyno in neutral...and I have a jet engine attached to it. I crank up the engine, what happens to my car on the dyno?
