are we on page two yet? :crossx:
A treadmill moving in the opposite direction of the plane, but at the same speed as the plane will cancel out all movement of the airplane, making it stand completely still.
No it won't. A plane doesn't use drive wheels to accelerate like a car does. It pushes against the air with a propeller or jet thrust making wheel speed almost irrelevant, within the limits of the bearings and wheels ability to withstand the centripetal force that comes from rotation.
Who cares?? It will, the jet engines are producing the thrust. Simple.
Hey if he's a good pilot he could stab the toe brake on one side , spin the plane around and use the conveyor speed to sling it airborne.
C.T. :wink:
unless hes in a tail dragger...........................
Who cares??
Everyone who takes the time to post in this thread.
This was posted on another forum and it has gone about 40 pages so far. I cant believe people cant figure this out. Its scarry how dumb people are.
A plane is standing on a runway that can move (like a giant conveyor
belt). This conveyor has a control system that tracks the plane's
speed and tunes the speed of the conveyor to be exactly the same (but
in the opposite direction) instantly.
Will the plane be able to take off?
Yep it will take off, Conveyor tracks the planes speed therefore the plane is moving under it's own power. The wheels can spin either forwards or backwords makes no diff, the plane will move under it's own power and take off.

Hmmm you're right . that may be the best groundloop ever ! Hold my beer,, lets try it

Is'nt crazy people dont understand that. :rollside:

Your graphic pretty much lays it out as clear as it could possibly be.
Speaking of laying out, I'm going to go back to imagining what it would be like to lay down with Pamala David.
Have a nice evening.
