ok still yes then

So according to this, the situation I’m envisioning is impossible according to laws of physics:

#79

Even if you assume the treadmill is somehow able to match theoretical speed exactly, eventually there won’t be enough friction between the wheels and treadmill to hold it in place - you’ll get wheel slippage, the plane will start to move forwards due to the thrust exceeding the forces that the wheels/treadmill can cope with and it’ll begin to generate lift.

Or the wheels explode and the plane is catapulted backwards off the runway for everyone to be killed in a fireball.

#81

Well, the wheels and the treadmill will both speed up to infinity and the resulting heat friction will ignite the atmosphere and destroy the earth. So the plane will take off, in a manner of speaking.

#82

Who built this fucking treadmill runway

#83

Elon Musk. Anything this ludicrous is always Elon Musk.

#84

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!

#85

Or Kim Jong Un. One or the other.

#86

This is another reason why I don’t fly with Ryanair

#87

What if the treadmill’s going in the same direction, does it just plow into a wall?

#88

The jet essential cranks up the altitude

Surely this question is broken, and is actually about negation of thrust? If people who want to debunk it have to go to such crazy lengths to explain about mismatched acceleration and friction then it must be. That myth busters bit on it is rubbish too, they seem to be suggesting that a plane can take off at lower than its actual takeoff speed if you drag a cloth under it.

Have I just massively wolfcastled myself?

Why is this on 100 replies? Should i read?

Does the plane have teeth?

#96

i think i agree with that old saying

gerrard’ll win you a game, lampard’ll win you a season
