Re: A Plane Problem

must admit i agree with tomkat here. the treadmill is controlling the speed of the ground the plane traveling on is moving at, it is not controlling the air around it.

as tomkat says the airplane takes off by manipulating the air around it to create lift. the air around the plane whilst on the treadmill is essentially stationary...right?
