I dont understand how people can possibly think that the airplane will take off. The only purpose of the wheels on the plane during take off is to hold the weight of the plane until the plane is moving fast enough through the air for the wings to generate enough lift to allow the plane to take off.

So, a plane "moving" on a treadmill will have 0 air speed velocity, and therefore 0 lift. Thus, it will not take off. End of story.

So what you're trying to say is: If a helicopter were parked on a large turntable with the turntable spinning at the same rotational speed and direction as the rotors on the helicopter, the helicopter wouldn?t take off?

I've actually tried that. 4 people died.

No unless the pad and helicopter were massless (while the blades still have mass) and there was 0 friction between the pad and whatever allows it to rotate (the bearing).

What the hell does that have to do with the airspeed of a plane on a treadmill? Nothing.

Thanks for playing!

You are either:
a. a moron
b. a moron

If a plane needs lift generated by the wings moving through the air (or air passing over the wings, like a huge windtunnel could theoretically work for example), how is the plane going to take off from a treadmill if the plane remains stationary? So you are correct; a treadmill has absolutely nothing to do with the airspeed of a plane and therefore a plane cannot take off from a treadmill.

Is that your final answer?

that is the one exception. A helicopter made from lego generates so much lift by its sheer awesomeness that the blades don't even have to spin to allow the helicopter to take off.

If it's made from LEGO you can just pick it up.

Duh.

1/3 != .333 so I'm not sure I understand how this is even vaguely interesting.

Not to get this started again, but yes, they are equal. Consult your nearest math book.

No, they are not equal.

0.333 != 0.3333 != 0.33333 != 1/3

0.333... = 0.333~ = 1/3

Maybe you should consult your nearest math book.

oh geez :roll: Semantics anyone?

You tried being a smart-ass and got called on it, and now you're bringing up semantics? In mathematics?

I didn't try to be a smart ass. It's very common to leave off the ellipsis for the sake of time :roll: You should know how many people refute the statement that .333 repeated does not equal 1/3, which is what I was commenting about. Dumbass.

For the sake of time? Why not use 0.9... or even 0.9r?

You're a brave man. I salute you.

You'd better do so soon...the "airplane won't take off" idiots are showing up.

Please lock. <slaps forehead>

I second the locking motion.

I used to think that too, but then I rethought it.

It pays to have a different view.

Lets say I was on a treadmill, and no matter how fast I ran, the treadmill always matched my speed, and I would not be able to go forward.

No lets imagine, I went on top of my skate board and tied it the the front of the treadmill, and the treadmill went at full speed. No Matter how fast the treadmill goes, I can still walk forward.

You see the distinction?

It doesn't remain stationary, jackass. You know why? Because...

The real question YOU need to answer is "how does the plane remain stationary if the treadmill has absolutely nothing to do with its airspeed?"

The answer is that you are either:
a.) a moron
b.) a moron

You do not pass Go. You do not collect $200. You are an embarrassment to your parents, your teachers, and yourself.

 

[Jeff7]

The plane certainly takes off, as does any thread that mentions "plane" and "treadmill."


"I am tired of these motherf--ing planes on this motherf--ing treadmill!!!!!"


Treadmill moves.
Wheels spin really really fast.
Treadmill fails to move plane, as the wheel bearings are assumed massless. So what you have is a treadmill moving really fast, and a plane that's just sitting still relative to the ground below the treadmill.
So, plane on moving treadmill (engines off) = plane sitting on the ground.

Plane's engines come on. They push the plane forward. Air moves over the wings. The plane takes off.
