airplane on a treadmill

[DemonEyez]

^^^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.

wrong. length of treadmill, speed, direction *unless sideways* are all irrelevant to the airplane taking off.

Ok who has a real plane and a really big treadmill?

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.

yeah i guess iw asnt clear. i was thinking in terms of like the treadmill is lets say 100 yards long then the regular runway is there. of course in any situation an airplace unless propeled via a pulley *aircraft carriers* needs their specified length of runway for take off.
