Plane on a Treadmill
We`ve been arguing this for ages at work.
A plane is on a treadmill (yes a very big treadmill). The planes engines are brought up to full power and all the flaps etc are in the right position for take off. However the treadmill works as a normal treadmill does and will therefore rotate at the same speed as the wheels... Does the plane take off ? |

Re: Plane on a Treadmill
No because it is not assisted by wind, therefore won't take off!

Re: Plane on a Treadmill
I am no aeronautics expert, but logic tells me that movement of air under the wings is needed to achieve lift -and that could not happen if the plane was stationary on the treadmill
ps -posted at same time as Derek - said same in a different way

Re: Plane on a Treadmill
Just because the conveyor belt is moving wont stop the plane taking off. We are not talking about a car that drives the wheels for motion. A car would stand still if the conveyor was going at the right speed. A plane engine pushes against the air so it would still move forward regardless of the conveyor moving backwards
