Re: A Plane Problem

But it's not accelerating anywhere :-(

It's just making it's poor baby wheels spin faster whilst maintaining its position on the treadmill.

If the treadmill was moving forwards at 180mph or something as well, then I could accept this, but if the engines are just making the plane try to move forward (which is being cancelled out by the fact that the object which the plane is sitting on is moving equally backwards) then it's not going to actually be moving anywhere.

Thus no airflow over wings.

Thus no lift.

I'm open minded, but someone better explain it in very ****ing simple terms to change my mind.
