airplane on a treadmill
So a few friends and I got in a HUGE argument over whether an airplane would or would not fly if placed on a treadmill that was going the opposite direction. I made a little video trying to demonstrate that it would. Enjoy.

Do a search.
Even in searches peopel swear that the airplane will not fly and become very diffensive when you try to explain that it will.
lol...thats great =-)

GET EM OUTTA HERE
WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE
OH SHIT NOT THIS AGAIN
WHAT IS THIS REPOST DAY
so how would it fly?
^man just enjoy the video, i know QD had originally brought up the topic a few months back.
my "experiemnt" just proves that the plane will not stay stationary and thus have airflow over its wings and be able to lift off.

lol at "holy crap...OoO shit"
GOT THAT RIGHT
Hmmm, I guess it would just have to be a fast moving treadmill. Only thing I would think is that a plane takes off due to unbalanced airflow around the wings so you have to reach a certain airspeed to take off correct? Whatever, I can see how it would and how it would not work.
NAW MAN MORE LIKE BRETT POSTED IT A FEW YEARS BACK.. I'M TALKIN 2001 SON
o snap.... O SNAP!
RIP Kaleb Mashburn
OK I'M DONE
LOL
its not your fucking experiment....good thing you listen to the schnitt show or youd have no idea....i heard this shit on my way home the other day....wanker

Thats what Im saying. If the treadmill moved backwards and the plane moved forwards it would still slow down the plane and not let it take off due to not having efficient airflow over the wings.
Now:Hypothetically speaking if your car tops out at lets say 150MPH, and you put your car on a treadmill that went 150MPH in the opposite direction. If you topped out your car on the treadmill would the car be stationary or be moving 150MPH? I would think that it would be stationary.
The problem with your flawed analogy is that a car is propelled by it's wheels, where as a plane or jet is not. The speed of a treadmill is a moot point. The wheels (which are the only contact points on a plane or jet to the ground) are free spinning bearings. Keep in mind that a plane or jet derives it's speed relative to the ground, not the spot where it touches the ground.
yep since no one wants to look up the original post. plain and simple answer is. it would take off like normal. the treadmill wouldnt really effect it beyond the friction point of the bearings in the wheels, which is very very very low.
^^^like on a dyno. the plane would only take off if the treadmill was as long as a runway. or it was a harrier jet. end of discussion.
-IA MGMT is inappropriate.
christ, not another 20 pgs of this shit again...
wrong. length of treadmill, speed, direction *unless sideways* are all irrelevant to the airplane taking off.
I see that you are right in a sense but i still doubt that the plane would take off.
Ok who has a real plane and a really big treadmill?
fuck arguing about the airplane and treadmill, lets not turn this into another debate because we've already had it many times.
I jst wanted to show you all the stupid experiemnt i concocted
omfg. i thought this was common sense, i dont see how this even became a debate.
length of treadmill does matter. u think an airliner could take off a treadmill the size of a tennis court, no it couldnt.

^LOL, damn thats funny
