Re: Can the Plane Take-Off?
If any of you have watched Mythbusters recently, they proved it can be done! Think about it. Planes derive their power from propellers or jets, each of which move air. This forces the plane forward relative to the air, not the ground. The wheels are free-spinning, so they will move twice as fast when the plane takes off upon reaching its take-off airspeed. Airspeed and groundspeed are totally different principles.
As for the Mythbusters, they pulled a really long mat with a pickup and had an ultralite take off successfully. Look it up!
