What the fuck bro...?

This question is stupid because its so ambiguous. If the treadmill can keep up, it would be better to phrase the question: "A conventional airplane is cabled to the ground. Can it take off." The answer? No. Airspeed velocity sufficient to provide enough lift to counteract gravity is not achieved.

Wow... Old thread Oooold. Also, DIAF Bleedo.

well, if the plane isn't hooked, and the engine's give enough thrust--with the treadmill providing a long enough take-off roll, the plane will take off ^^

The problem comes down to interpretation and hypotheticals which is why there are so many people who all believe they have the right answers.

My plane takes off.

Oh, so aircraft leap into the air as long as they're at full thrust, since forward momentum relative to air flow doesn't matter?

[Reedu]

Problem is too vague. Need to know about the air and type of plane.

People just need to let this die. I wasn't even here for it during Naxx and I am already sick of it. lol

Mine dances and brings me drinks.
