LOLOLOL, so will it or will it not take off?! hahhaha!Quote:

Oh god... please.. no more. :P
wow this is old but id say no
Yes it is old...but you would be wrong
lol, i was just about to type that except say, "...but you're still wrong" :tongue:Quote:

The answer is no because if a dog slips on an icy road and hits a trashcan then the fruit basket would contain apples. :blah:
The question should state weather the speed is in relationship to the treadmill or the ground. I origonally put no because I was thinking the the speed was in relationship to the treadmill surface(as if you were running on one) but if that was the case, the treadmill wouldn't be moving if its speed was measured in relationship to itself.
huh?Quote:

the answer would have to be no. just because the wheels are rolling at a fast enough speed doesnt mean that there is air going over the wing at a high enough speed to produce enough lift to get it air born.
What prevents the plane from moving forward just as it would on any runway?Quote:

the planes wheel's are free moving.. except for when they wish to apply some brakes.. so if theres a treadmill it applies no real force on the airplane to push it in any direction forward or backward.. since the airplanes propulsion/thrust comes from its engines mounted to the wing with move the body and not through a drivetrain to move the wheels. Thus the thrust to the airplane's body will be the same.. Again thing free moving wheels..
sigh..
Why would you bump this thread?Quote:

lol
except it comes in for a landing twice as fast as it takes off :tongue:Quote:

Its a trick question, the speed of the wheels is completely irrelevant to the plane being to take off.

Why the fuck would you put a plane on a treadmill in the first place.
Just think, some people will go the rest of their life not knowing this. Is there a Santa Claus? How are babies made? ...some people may never know.

if the question had stated that the belt moved in the same direction as the plane, therefore counteracting any forward motion, no the plane wouldn't have taken off
its about semantics people, read the fucking problem
Neither forward nor backwards would have any effect on a plane propelling itself forward.Quote:

but its all theoritical
What's preventing the plane from propelling itself forward? Planes aren't powered by their wheels, ever seen a pontoon plane take off? The speed of the wheels or surface below it has nothing to do with a planes ability to propel itself forward and take off...Quote:

This is of course all negated if you are talking about a Harrier which uses thrust and not lift.
sayin a plane could take off on a treadmill is like sayin that your actually going forward when you car is on a dyno. just because the wheels are spinning doesnt mean your going anywhere.
