Plane on a treadmill poll...

[speedminded]

and you're the guy who takes cleaning a car way too far.....were you trying to make a point?


It's funny how you can call yourself "smart" because you say a plane can take off on a treadmill....what college did you attend? what was your major? are you a member of MENSA?

what proof do you have? have you done this experiment all on your own? have you done it multiple times to make sure all factors are covered and that it wasn't a fluke? You tards who keep saying "yes" and that you are sooo "smart" are the biggest dumbass's there are....

People who are 100% smarter than you internet "genius's" like NASA scientists who study, and calculate, over and over and over to the point there is no room for error, things still go wrong in the "real" world...on paper it might look good....but real world is where things are proven

so I guess you all should just sit there and feel like you have some sense of intelligence...but in reality you are a bunch of tards on an import website who have no degrees in physics, aerospace engineering, aeronautical engineering, or even have the money and resource to conduct this research.....just because this question has been kicked around the internet 1billion times and you read other peoples responses and posts you are now some proclaimed genius...go jump off a bridge.....that's a laugh....the import tuner kids are all now genius's

I thought no too for the first 5 minutes but didn't need anyone elses answers or responses to change my mind. You sit back, think about the process and what's going on, and you'll realize the answer.

Here's another analogy, imagine being on roller blades on a treadmill: can you hold yourself stationary with ease to prevent from falling off the back of the treadmill? Now say you were holding a rope like you were waterskiing on skates on the treadmill, if you turned the speed up all the way would it effect your ability to remain stationary? Now if someone came up behind you and pushed you would you not propel forward? The "thrust" produced from someone pushing you is no differant than the thrust of an airplanes engine, regardless of the speed of the runway/conveyor belt, the planes thrust will propel itself forward creating speed and acquiring lift. There is nothing to prevent the airplane from moving forward just as it would on any other runway.

Here's another, how about an aircraft carrier? They are moving yet a plane is still able to take off? How is that possible if a plane can not take off on a "treadmill" the size of a runway? Do you think the carrier can only be going one direction for the plane to take off? Please don't even refer to the catapult systems, they are only there to accelerate the plane because the length of the flight deck is just a small percentage the size of a traditional runway. Think about it, the wheels have nothing to do with the thrust of the plane and it's ability to propel itself forward.
