Draw a FBD.
Plane flies. Thrust is never negated by any opposite force.

had a feeling. would be awesome if you could make hero passes on the dynodraggy uses gps to measure everything so no
im prety sure there are some out there that can do a simulated pullhad a feeling. would be awesome if you could make hero passes on the dyno
In Havard looking down at all of us retards that think airplanes fly using air and thrust.
This has been done, videos are in this threadAnother way to scale it down is a small model plane on an actual treadmill.
Tie a string to the nose of the plane. This force will simulate thrust. Now pull it. It moves, right? K.
Now turn the treadmill on. Pull the plane along again. Still moves huh.
Crank the treadmill to max. There may be slightly more force required to pull it to overcome frictional resistance at the tires/bearings, but its never enough to limit you pulling it.
I'm sure if you could somehow control an actual flyable model plane on a large enough treadmill you could test it fully.
The best demonstration I've seen for this was wearing roller skates on while on a treadmill and holding a rope. When the treadmill is going you just hold on to the rope and stay stationary and to move forward you simply hand over hand on the rope and pull yourself forward with minimal force. It doesn't matter how fast the treadmill is going, all you have to do is overcome friction in the bearings to pull yourself forward. Hands=prop, rope=air. The prop is basically pulling on the air to go forward so the plane moves, generates lift, and takes off easily.I started to understand this a little better (i think) when I thought about the wheels on the treadmill independently.
People who say there is flight are saying that no matter what the treadmill is doing, the plane creates lift. It still confuses me I guess.
Regardless, the plane in this example should never move on the treadmill no matter how fast the treadmill is moving when the plane isn’t under power correct?
The wheels just spin and spin and spin while the plane remains stationary?
So no matter what the treadmill does, thrust will move the plane forward?
Would airplanes accelerate faster or take off in a shorter distance if they were taking off on a treadmill moving in the same direction? I’m guessing no I think…
Help!
*drone* pilotYou think of all people, a pilot would understand that the wheels aren’t what make the plane move forward. Lmao
Do you need him to sign for your L?
The wheels have absolutely nothing to do with the acceleration of the plane generated by thrust. Thrust is pushing against the air, not the ground (or moving ground).I started to understand this a little better (i think) when I thought about the wheels on the treadmill independently.

Well of course you could.serious question, could you run a draggy on the dyno and get 1/4 numbers?
