Re: Can the Plane Take-Off?

this has been going on for a while since my last post but i will venture to hypothesize that the treadmill's speed makes almost no difference to the way the plan behaves, as long as it is still pointed so that the wheels can freespin.

Now i will attempt to explain myself again since i am so terrible at explanations:

The planes engines while create thrust pushing on the AIR the AIR will then follow Newton's third law and push the plane FORWARD

Now the wheels in contact with the ground will spin at whatever speed they need to because the ground is just there, when the ground accelerates BACKWARD the wheels will spin faster and faster until the plane has TAKEN OFF then, the wheels will slow to a stop in the AIR,

OK i think i got it this time,
Cuog
