It is absolutely possible for a propped plane to take from a standing start. That's what the plane in the example is designed to do...watch this....

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.
