here, here is a picture for you:
Look at the wheel. It spins at the speed that the plane is moving forward + the opposite speed of the treadmill...
For those that do not believe that it will take off, answer these questions for me:
- The treadmill is only spinning the wheels of the plane, yes?
- The wheels of the plane are free rolling, yes?
- Can spinning free rolling wheels cancel out the forward velocity of the plane?
