but it's still good.

The correct answer lies if the airplane manufacturer. If it�s ACME and piloted by a coyote, it will take off and fly at low altitude for a short distance until over a 500 foot crevasse at which point it will plummet.

(Whereupon the pilot will bail out with a parachute, but upon deployment it will be found that the chute has inexplicably been replaced with an anvil.)

Improves efficiency by having the wheels so close to the turbines.

what about the other universes, in the multiverse as a whole, smart guy

god could certainly merge the rockplane with another, or perhaps rearrange them with respect to one another, but those actions would not be "lifting," nor would any other multiversal motion, since there would be no up or down in that frame of reference

Okay, I'm going to ask a question about this that I've always wondered about. We're going to have a short, civil discussion about it, and then move on. If the discussion becomes heated or lasts for too long I swear to god I will carpet-bomb this thread with probations like it's going out of style.

Isn't the answer to this really that it doesn't matter if the airplane is on a treadmill or not, as long as the airplane can get enough speed that air passing over the wing generates lift? Because my admittedly limited understanding is that that's what makes airplanes go up. My confusion about this mental exercise was that I always imagined "plane on a treadmill" as meaning that the plane did not actually move forward; the wheels just kept spinning on the treadmill. No forward momentum = no air passing over the wings = no lift.

Yes, you are correct. Nobody else post about this.

You are correct, and the emphasized part is what trips everybody up, but if you think it through that scenario through in terms of a force diagram, there's no way the plane would remain stationary. Unlike say, a car, the engines are outputting thrust independent of the treadmill, and so practically putting a treadmill underneath the plane instead of a runway is only going to make the wheels spin faster. Because friction exists, the plane would move slightly slower than it would on a regular runway, but it would still fly just fine.

The other fun thing is that depending on the plane, it might not actually need any forward momentum at all! The An-2 was famously capable of flying backwards relative to an observer on the ground if the wind was blowing hard enough. Bush planes are generally built for this as well:

Look at this idiot to never heard of the Gulf Stream.

This is the whole reason aircraft carriers don�t do ops in the Caribbean. Go the wrong way in the stream and your billion dollar carrier is just a bunch of worthless planes on the worlds biggest treadmill.

Hope was left in the box as Pandora managed to close the lid before the greatest evil of humanity could fly out. That's the moral of the story.

e: And before someone comes fishmeching in fresh from the Wikipedia buffet, hope or expectation of a positive outcome in anything being the greatest evil is the only likely interpretation when considering oh I don't know every ancient Greek tale ever and how humans trying to achieve superhumanity always end up hosed in the rear end with a rake.

This is what I always thought about the flying wing in Raiders. Where were those giant loving landing struts made for a plane 5 times the size going to fit? Struts covered in even bigger, chunkier fairings. It may be a fantasy aircraft based on test nazi designs, but at least make it look partially functional.

Maybe the land gear drops off in flight, and then you just hope for the best on landing, like the ME-163 Komet.
