im skippin like, 15 pages of this thing, I just hope people realize it won't work. you need air running over and under the wings to create lift, more specifically, more air running over the top of the wing than the bottom of the wing. now on a treadmill, the plane techinally would not be moving anywhere since it is on a treadmill, yes the wheels are moving, and yes, the jets are psuhing it to keep it on the treadmill, but you still have no air moving over and under the wings. Somebody said it earlier, if you run on a treadmill, there is no wind, same for the plane. It doesn't matter how much thrust the jets are putting out, or how fast the wheels are turning, all that matters is how much air is traveling around the wings. I'm sure there is at least one smart person who explained this already, but if not....
