People are confused in thinking that when the airplane engines produce enough thrust to got 150mph, and the treadmill is moving at 150mph, that there will be no movement. That's the way that I took it at first, that the plane would remain stationary during the experiment.

However, the plane will still move forward, just like it would on any normal runway, because there is literally zero negative forve being applied by the treadmill itself. This is a dumb fvcking experiment.

thank u. someone else got it. the only neg. force in this exeriment is the extra friction on the wheels. plane will move forward. wheels will be spinning at around 300 mph, but it will still take off.

Jesus christ, the answer has been stated about a million times now. Will you idiots please stop posting.

Mysthbusters is finally doing thisAirplane Hour

(Weds., December 12 at 9 PM ET/PT)

Adam and Jamie find out if either of them can safely land a Boeing 747-400 on a runway in varying weather conditions. Meanwhile, Kari, Tory and Grant risk life and limb to investigate skydiving myths regularly featured in Hollywood action films. Is it possible to catch up with someone in freefall if that person jumps out a plane before you do? Can you really hold a conversation during freefall? And would you survive if you opened your parachute only a few feet off the ground? Finally, Adam and Jamie carefully navigate their way through a myth that has baffled everyone from web bloggers to pilots. If a plane is traveling at takeoff speed on a conveyor belt, and the belt is matching that speed in the opposite direction, can the plane take off? Extensive small-scale testing with a super treadmill and a nearly uncontrollable model airplane don't completely resolve the myth, so our flight cadets supersize the myth with help from a willing pilot and his Ultralight flying machine.

Finally. We will see. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

kindof worded iffy, but if the plane itself is moving at takeoff speed with respect to regular ground (not a treadmill), it will take off //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif regardless of how fast the treadmill moves

did u read the whole thread????

Negative. Just the 1st post, I didnt have that much time on my hands //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

the net air speed under the wings that provide lift is zero....end of story

You're a real winner aren't you?

Your time would be better spent just posting the link to your original explanation. It was by far the best. Then leave the asshat and idiot comments up to nG. He has that angle lock down tight //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

i havent read this whole thread, nor am i going to...

but has anyone considered the fact that the thrust from a plane is not delivered to the wheels? doesnt matter how fast the treadmill is moving, the plane will still move forward and take off. the thrust is delivered through a turbine or a propellor that pushes/pulls the body. not through a drivetrain that turns the wheels...

If you would have taken the time to read then you would know the answer to your question. Now GTFO.
