THAT WAS FUCKIN HILARIOUS!!!! LOL. I am not laughing at the "it will not fly people." I'm trying to help them understand.
You have to approach it sytematically --> before we even worry about it FLYING we have to determine if the JET powered aircraft on a treadmill is rendered accelerationless due to the fact that it is indeed on a treadmill. The answer is NO. Therefore, it will accellerate. Therefore it will ALSO generate airflow over the wing and achieve flight. The people that say NO are hung up on how it will MOVE on the treadmill, not the fact that if it DOES move that it will achieve flight. I will assume that they are smart enuff to know that it will achieve flight if it can move forward... WHICH IT WILL DO!
I think my wheelchair example pretty much makes it dummy-proof. NE1 who does not get it after that, I dunno what to tell you. Unless ECHO stops attacking people personally and puts some real food on my plate to eat, I am gonna unsubscribe. I'll give him time though...
