Plane on a conveyor belt

[JN210]

To Gary:

VERY well put my friend.:icon_salut:

[Grr]

cause some people are too stupid to actuall see it on their own, you know that!
BTW, this is for the 14 stupid people that said it wouldnt fly
Gary

lol, you actually counted?......Its like this,

If a plane lands on a train going in the opposite direction at the same speed does that mean it stops flying?

All you have to do is view poll results and 14 ppl said it wouldn't fly, im guessing even more idiots thought it.

And yes, if it LANDS on the train, it will stop flying you idiot.

gary, I'm stealing your response and posting it elsewhere.

perhaps I should have rephrased that a little better......If a plane landed (without the brakes or any type/way of slowing down) on a train could it just take off again?

sorry....

BassPlayer, I made the same mistake as you did when first thinking about this theory. Think of hotwheels on a treadmill with a bottle rocket attached to it... If the bottle rocket has enough force to overcome the friction created by the rotating wheels, it will launch the car off the front of the treadmill right? now imagine the treadmill being way longer and the hotwheels having wings, eventually it will create enough speed to make enough lift to take off.

screw it, just watch this video and all will be explained:

no. We're not talking about if it will overcome the speed of the treadmill. We're talking if a plane takes off at lets say 120mph. The conveyor is set at 120. Will the plane raise up and take off. No the plane is matched in speed and in turn is not moving. Zero air is going over or under the wing creating no lift. But then again I could be way the fuck off

[Guest]

No, we are asking what affect a treadmill has on a planes ability to take off. The answer is none.

You got that exactly right (the part about being way the fuck off).....

Wow how did i miss this..... the rules of this experiment are vague

I am not gonna get into the whole conveyor part because you will not change what people think

there is only one point i want to make

Lets just disregard the conveyor and say we chain the plane to a stake in the ground behind it, so it cannot move forward at all.....

1. A prop plane with a enough thrust will lift off the ground even being stationary, if there is enough air moving across the wings from the prop

2. I dont car what anyone says, a jet/rocket powered plane (even with unlimited thrust) is going nowhere as there is no air being moved across the wings

3. Gary is a Homo

[GnArKiLl]

its just like a car on a dyno.. strap wings on you car and see if it will fly....................negative

How does a VSTOL aircraft take-off????? hmmmmmmm

1. Maybe

2. Completely irrelevant to what we are talking about, but yes, a stationary plane will not take off (excluding Harrier, etc...) This plane is NOT stationary however and there is nothing holding it still.

3. LOL

Obviously I was talking conventional............hmm .... better clear up the space shuttle and Saturn V will go somewhere to for the smart asses
