[keko jones]

This is very old ...

I just want to know your thoughts ...

Can an Airplane take off if it's on a giant treadmill vices a runway?

 

[mojodmonky1]

Yes it would fly.

 

[Mark Antony]

Hell yes. A harrier though. If you gotta get a running start to dunk, could you do it from a treadmill under the rim?

No, because the plane is not actually moving forward on a treadmill, only its wheels are spinning.

 

[the hater boxden]

treadmills can't go fast enough to keep up with a motocycle

what makes you think a giant treadmill could hold a jet down breh

 

[ruxxx]

Meh.

Hmmmm .... Is that because you didn't have a logical answer?

Can we throw a camera into a black hole and film what's inside?

 

[keko jones]

No, because the plane is not actually moving forward on a treadmill, only its wheels are spinning.

How do you know the plane won't move?

no it's because you did not have a logical question

No, because the plane is not actually moving forward on a treadmill, only its wheels are spinning.

How do you know the plane won't move?

so you tryin to play this as a stupid trick question?

THE TREADMILL WASNT ON! OF COURSE THE PLANE FLEW!!! YOU GUYS ARE ALL DUMB! I GOT YOU!!!

idiot.

 

[keko jones]

no it's because you did not have a logical question

Oh Really?

I guess individuals around the world haven't debated this same question .. 

SMH!

BTW, individuals with PHd's in Physics.

 

[jerkstore]

Planes require "lift," or air passing past the wings in order to take off.  So no, it would not.
