A question...

[3.4 slow to go]

I'm just trying to clus in some some logic being brought up to me.

And the treadmill isn't just rolling along, it's pushing the wheels backwards

You all are assuming that an airplanes wheels are working the same way as your f-body's wheels are.

An airplane is propelled by a propeller, the wheels are just along for the ride.

If you were to put on a pair of rollerblades and stand on a treadmill that was moving at 100mph, would you go anywhere? No, you would stay still. Now if somebody were to stand behind you and push you forward, you would move forward. Not faster than 100mph, but at the speed of which you were pushed forward. The airplane is being pulled by the propeller. No matter what speed the treadmill is moving, or what direction, the airplane would still move forward as much as it wanted to until it reached speeds able to sustain flight.

OK, That makes sense, but it still wouldn't take off. As soon as the plane reached the end of the treadmill, the wheels would be moving increadibly fast in reverse, and make contact with the non-moving pavement. That in combination of the forward motion of the plane, would probably cause them to blow out from the from the friction.

There isn't any given end to the runway, and if it were the length of any normal runway, it would have been flying by then.

this is some crazy stuff :D

im too tired and your smarter than I am Matt and have more experience with planes

[3.4 slow to go]

the wheels on the bus go round and round, and even that won't get it to take off

"Rolling" the wheels. Not sure if thats what you meant, but that could be whats confusing you.

Then you agree that the plane will have no problem taking off?

[3.4 slow to go]

Let's put this into play, the plane doesn't have wheels, it has skis.

It's still NOT going to take off.

If the plane has skis, it wouldn't be on a runway, it would be in water.

Or snow..

it's moving in the opposite direction as the plane's speed. will the plane take off? NO
