The Return of the most infamous HB thread of all time... :D

[Tishimself]

What you are missing here is the wind speed. There is a huge headwind that is helping the plane take off. Listen to how loud the wind noise is. In fact you could argue that the treadmill would create enough wind at high speeds to do exactly what this plane is doing in this video.

Just like before the responses to this thread truelly baffles me.

I think you actually believe it will fly and you are just stirring the pot.

First you cant tell from the video which way the wind is coming from. Second, that plane is from Alaska, and is built specifically to take off in one foot like that. In fact, there is actually a competition for pilots to build and take off in planes that have been customized to be able to take off in the shortest distance possible. That plane is one of them. The wind might be an issue, but how much is hard to tell....

Actually, I don't believe the plane, as posed in the question, a 747 will fly, but this one would.
