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

The wheels are not powered, the propeller is. What if we take the wheels off and use floats in their place and point the plane up river

Sorry, for the purposes of this argument, it has to be limited to wheels only. But tell me, with out wheels, how does the prop move forward. If they are turning 100mph due to the movement of the treadmill, how are you ever going to move forward when you can maybe generate 100mph without the treadmill...??

It will need to overcome any drag induced by an outside source and when the plane reaches V2 it will be off. And safely I might add.

As mentioned, the wheels and their speed have nothing to do with lift. If lift plus thrust is greater than drag plus weight the plan will accelerate until they are equal or climb. And long before the drag of the wheels could overcome the thrust the plane will develops lift which will reduce that drag to nothing. Even a fully loaded 747 can climb at over 500 feet per minute. As soon as the wings start flying the treadmill becomes a none factor.

LOL Wheeler. Actually Tom is not banned, I just checked.

The lift only factors in if the plane is able to move. If the ability of the wheels to move the plane forward is negated through the treadmill, no air moves over the wing, no lift is created, no movement of any kind happens. Lift is caused by airflow over the wings. If there is no airflow, no one is going anywhere.

Go back to driving trains Tish.

No Thanks, I prefer to call out Michael "Wheeler" Vick in front of everyone. It's also good to know that posting tits is not a bannable offense.
