Did mythbusters ever do anything on this?

I say it would not, because there is no air traveling over or under the wings.

In fact they did. It will take off because it’s generating thrust through the engines, not the wheels. Its moving because it’s pushing the air in front of it, where as cars move because the push the ground beneath them

But, no. The airplane’s wheels aren’t attached to the treadmill, so it wouldn’t bring the treadmill with it. Besides, that treadmill is too large in relationship to the size of the plane for the plane to be able to carry it up into the sky. And I don’t know about you guys’ treadmills, but mine does not have big enough fans on the bottom to provide the needed supplemental lift.

I think this is shooped.

kiki is right. The plane should be crashing into the treadmill.

How does one make such a gigantic treadmill?

Can you people not see that it has, in fact, taken off?

Has it been three years already?

Answer: It cannot take off without foward motion. However, the wheels are there only to hold it up until it takes off. They spin freely. Thus, no matter how fast the treadmill ran, it wouldn’t matter because the wheels are not connected to the plane by anything but ball bearings. They would simply spin faster, with no kinetic energy,(besides a very small amount of friction) i.e. movement, being transferred to the airframe. If they WERE connected, the plane’s situation is hopeless. But as they are not, all the pilot has to worry about is the treadmill handlebars destroying the wings.

@KFC:
Yes, but you fail to explain how the treadmill is supposed to take off.
casemods on November 6, 2009 @ 8:14 pm (UID#667)

KFC: the point is that the tread mill is spinning…

One Nation Under God? - October 18, 2009 by nyokki | Images

... Tags: forum fodder, Politics, Religion, wtf

SHORTPACKED!

This simple phrase, added to the pledge of allegiance over 50 years ago has been the source of unbelievable debate and heated controversy. Likewise, the phrase ‘In God We Trust’ on our currency has been targeted and continues to be attacked as improper and politically incorrect. Lawsuits have been filed and legal minds employed to ascertain whether such statements violate the concept of ’separation of church and state’.

As this debate continues, some so called experts have implied or concluded that our Founding Fathers and Patriots were not religious. These secular champions, in an effort to further their own causes, have even painted these great men and women from our history as being devoid of religious passions or even a belief in God. This is a part of their strategy to remove any discussion of God from the public forum.

Jon McNaughton would like to set the record straight.

These men and women were passionately religious and saw the hand of God all around them. To God they gave Thanks for His Hand in the founding of this great nation. To Him, according to their own testimony, they turned for wisdom and strength when life and liberty hung in the balance. Certainly the debate on separation of church and state will continue. But no one can dispute how our Founding Fathers and Patriots felt about God. The record is clear!

‘One Nation Under God’ is Jon McNaughton’s witness and reminder that those who went before us knew from whence their blessings came!
