    About the car on the dyno, please read what I said TONS of time before, it's the UPSIDE DOWN Example.

    Treadmill = car = output tq & hp
    Plane = Dyno = no tq/hp - free wheelies.

    YOU CANNOT STRAP A THRUST ENGINE ONTO THE CAR AND COMPARE IT, since it'd be the same as strapping the engine onto the treadmill.

    I said that using it was a bad example since I don't know how dyno works (whether it actually can spin its roller or not).
    See my dyno example, it explains it perfectly.

    I read that, it's different than my example.

    However, you forgot the fact that you need people pushing it and perfect horizonal movement, NOT having any UP force, while the dyno rollers are motorized AND rolling in separate direction - NOT freewheeling.

    That's why I said that using the car & Dyno was a bad example. Since it has different factors, for example: Dyno's rollers doesn't act the same as treadmill since it doesn't have full surface movement but rather, spot movement.

    Oh well, believe what you want,

    I'm tired of all this typing.

    Edit; cherry kool aid you're correct, I forgot, I factored it twice. Thanks for correcting.
