3.GoChiefs-I don't think theres a minute where he doesn't think about kc football.
4.XFactor-like the custom die hard fan. Your river falls updates etc.
5.Simply Red-great guy

See my propeller question

I always thought the treadmill would be going the opposite way of the plane's forward motion (or attempt at motion).

Again, if the wheels were spinning, it would make no difference.

A plane uses a propeller to provide thrust, yes.

So ignoring friction, if the planes wheels were just spinning, and the plane remained still relative to the ground, and then the propellers turned on and spun fast enough (theoretically), that would not create enough lift for the plane to take off?

What no one want's to dine on South Beach with me!?

**Buck** · 08-25-2009, 04:22 PM

That would only make sense if the plane were being propelled by its wheels. And even then, you could still take off (in theory) if the wheels are moving more quickly than the treadmill.

No, it would not. Air flowing over the wing creates lift. However, if you ever played with a rubber band aircraft, you'll remember that if you really cranked the rubber band up, you could hold the plane with the propeller facing the sky and the propeller would create enough lift (briefly) for the plane to increase altitude. Not unlike a helicopter's rotor.

Or maybe he/she is?

There are several on here I would still like to meet, and would enjoy seeing those I have met again. That list used to include JOhn

they used a plane and a 1oooft tarp being pulled the opposite direction.

the pilot said before the attempt didn't he think it would work either. maybe you're related
