I missed it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
You didn't miss much, the show was super boring and in the end it did take off.

how the hell often does a pilot have to deal with this situation!?...personally i take off from treadmills everyday
You dont think a pilot should know that the wheels are free spinning and have no effect on velocity of the airplane? I personally find that kind of scary.

all pilots should know that, but i understood the myth to be that there was no forward movement....no forward movement = no flow across the wing. i didn't realize that the question was whether or not the plane could move forward on a treadmill..
