Completely off topic, I saw a guy who had his whole outfit look almost identical to a Stormtrooper last night lol

Lift is generated by air going around the wing.
Get in a car, go 60,stick hand out window. Feel that force as it rips your arm back. That's air speed, needed for flight.
Now, go to a gym. Get on a tread mill and run as fast as you can. Stick your arm out. Nothing. No air speed.
Or, take a plane and put it on a set of rollers. Like the ones used to test horse power. Crank up the speed. It won't take off. The only way it could is if the prop supplies enough fast moving g air over the wing surface to provide lift, which is possible on ultralight class planes, but not regular ones.
Myth busters did a special on it, but the test was flawed.
Yes but in that situation above though, the velocity of the plane with respect to the treadmill, the ground the treadmill is on and the air around is not constant. The plane is pushed fast towards the back of the treadmill. If the speed is high enough when the plane reaches the end it can take off. In a way the treadmill is used as an aircraft catapult. ... I cheated.

Like that only faster and bigger and with a plane.
Ah good point, I hadn't considered using the treadmill to actually move the plane like a catapult.
That's how the myth busters did it. And that's why it was flawed. Of course if the tread mill is going in the direction of the plane taking off it works as you said, a catapult.
The bases of the question on most forums on the subject, is the treadmill is going the opposite way. Thus negating any forward motion of the plane, stopping any chance of air movement over the wings surface.
It's a loaded question almost. It depends on the direction of the mill.
My 500th post And 3/4 of the way to being a 5-star forum general.
I think my next room will use the striped senche and the monkey pet, just to show how long I've been committed to the Disfunctional relationship Zeni and I have.

Morning All
Soo, interesting things afoot. Ms Bruno nearly let slip on a potential date for the IC Release, although back to being very tight lipped.
@MissBizz Alas no, I did not get a screen shot. I was running around Grinding my new temp up. Still, managed to pull 660k p/hr last night in a normal zone with XP Potion, No Ring, No Subscription bonus, so pretty pleased on that
God I wish I could have had this this-morning for breakie (I know it's not popcorn, but my god it looks yum )
Mornin
Some of these for everybody
and some of these for everybody
Seriously, what the flipping flip is going on in these forums? Endless trolling and shouting? Are these the Destiny forums or something? These forums used to be so good
