Trick question

[Duckologist]

Yes the plane can move fwd via the thrust but it will not be near enough to create lift.

As if dude. You should just stop

Did you watch the whole video?

No I shut it off half way through. Guess I should have watched the full thing

This thread has been comical.

Yes it will fly.

I seen a cow laying down in a pasture yesterday.

I seen a cow laying down in a pasture yesterday.

Was it on a conveyor belt? If so, it laid down cuz it was tired of trying walk and getting nowhere.

I rest my case

Actually I rest my case

I tried this experiment last night with my old lady's treadmill and a skateboard. Got my ****** hung up in the box fan.
Should have just watched the video.

A prop pulls, a jet pushes, and you can pitch the prop, not to mention the prop is pushing wind under and across the wings.
Why do you think Draco takes off in like 10ft, show me a jet without pitchable thrusters that can do that.

For the record, there are planes with props that are pushers. The props are in the rear. See them coming in and out of Love Field pretty regular.

Couldn't get through all of them, but what I did read helps me understand my students difficulties on physics tests. I may be repeating, since I didn't read it all, but from a physics standpoint the belt matches the wheels velocity and it doesn't matter what is causing the wheels to turn, ie jet propulsion. Based on the question, the belt ALWAYS matches the turning wheels, therefore the relative velocity between the plane and earth (and by default the atmosphere since it rotates with the earth) will always be zero. With zero relative velocity between the wings and the atmosphere, lift can't be generated.

The correct answer is in #24

The thrust is acting upon the atmosphere regardless of what the wheels are doing. they will spin at whatever speed they want. No motion of the wheels is going to change the fact that air is taken in and thrust out. This force is acting upon the entire assembly of the plane. Not the runway. you cannot null out the thrust by spinning the wheels as the wheels are not driving the plane.

When this comes up I like to ask those that think it wont fly a simple question. Please explain how a treadmill can stop a plane from moving once thrust is applied. Of course, there is no plausible answer to this question but the mental gymnastics is entertaining

No but it's the shortest wrong answer posted so far so there's that
