You're correct VT ^^^^^^^^^
and NONE of them will answer the question in the process. Gotta love politicians.

By your own definition, no. They don't have common sense.You don't need to be an engineer to know what's gonna happen, just common sense. Supossedly even a lot of longtime pilots think their planes will just sit there. So these pilots don't have common sense?
oh Cement, you are kidding right? ^^^The only way the plane will take off is if they put the conveyor on a catapult. Which they probably will do some variation of.
A plane flies because it has wings, and air flows over the wings giving it lift. If the conveyor keeps the plane from moving forward, there will be no apparent wind over the wing, other than the prop wash. this is not enough to give it lift. Of course, if you put a butt load of engines on each wing, or set the whole thing up in a wind tunnel, it just might take off. But that is not the initial assertion.
Maybe this would be better suited in a pre-mythbusters poll ??oh Cement, you are kidding right? ^^^
I know you're kidding.
This episode is on next week isn't it? I don't want to miss anything important!Just promise that after the show tonight this thread will be closed and send to oblivion( I always wanted to use that word.....)
After today I hope we do the Clavatum Espetatum Est to the issue.TODAY IS THE DAY WE GET OUR ANSWER!!!!!!!!
:w00t:
I have the solution.DV is going to say :banhim: but I have to stir this up some more.
It will be interesting to see how they state the myth, because as Desert Water eloquintly stated, they won't be able to keep the plane on the treadmill. Unless it is a really long one the plane will just run off the end before it can get sufficient ground speed to take off.
