The ground is irrelevant.
All that matters is air. thrust is used to overcome drag. Everything else is swirlies... fucking bitches |

That's where the confusion lies. A treadmill cannot immobilize a plane, it can only rotate it's wheels, which will do absolutely nothing to slow it down.

Yeesh, I'm not as stupid as I thought I guess... Even the pilot on Mythbusters didn't think it would work. I'm sorry Lucky but I operated a Vulcan cannon and jumped out of airplanes for 10 years, that doesn't mean that I can explain how the system works or even how chutes work from a physics standpoint.

And Avatard, uh. no. The treadmill doesn't do anything to the plane, except spin its free-wheeling wheels. It's just like taking off from a regular runway. Damn, I swore I wouldn't get sucked into this after the last time it came up. |

So it is possible to build this and prove this point. Anything short of a bearing failure would not stop the plane from flying so it will prove that wheel speed doesn't matter at all. James

I'll be damned if I'm leaving Scotch & cookies for you this Christmas Eve. ps. Is this argument still going on? Really people... someone just needs to ask NASA for a computer sim because this is wasting far too many peoples' time and brain power.
