The air moving over the wings is created by the props pushing it or jets pushing the plane through it. The wheels only eliminate the friction between the plane and the ground, and are irrelevant.
Up it goes.

Holy crap - Here we go again! ::giggle:

We need Samuel Jackson to drop by and declare...

"I have had it with these motherfucking planes on this motherfucking treadmill!"

Don't worry, the Northwest treadmiills are on strike again....

Never mind will it take off?

Will It Put Out?

And would you risk a BJ? :eek:

:lol:

Ooh, a hovering BJ!
The first step towards zero G sex.

Well that's just great. We resolved "The 'Plane on a Treadmill' Question"; but, now we have to resolve "The 'Helicopter on an Escalator' Question". :headshake

Many great minds of science have ruminated on this vital issue. They were less concerned with how close, though, than with how period, since landing upside down is no mean feat.

The leading theory for years was that the flies did a half barrel roll sideways a la the Blue Angels just before landing. This idea was shot down in 1958 when Natural History magazine published photos showing that in fact flies do a sort of backward somersault.

On approaching the ceiling, and while still flying right side up, flies extend their forelegs over their heads till they can grab a landing spot with the suction cups in their feet. Their momentum then enables them to swing their hind legs up, like a gymnast on a trapeze. Result: inverted fly, home and dry. So the answer to your query is, they get real close.

Good lord, is this still going on? The plane takes off. I said so. /thread

What if...

you couldn't wait 10 days to post that?

also, it would go backwards

No, the wheel isn't driven by the belt, it's driven by the small roller/motor in front of the wheel.

oh..i didnt notice that.

so, that wheel reverses the direction.....
