I have, and it’s amazing how fast this topic gets people upset haha. It still boggles my mind as to how people think it won’t take off. My roommates are now arguing about this. It just came up on another forum i’m on and people are being retarded there. I swear if my g/f would have said it wouldn’t take off, I would have dumped her. ---

It wouldn’t take off. The plane would not be able to make forward momentum to create lift. DUH. Even though the wheels aren’t driven they still need to be moving forward to allow the plane to move forward…unless the plane could hover ---

It still boggles my mind as to how people think it won’t take off. well your the one who is boggling everyones minds, bc there is no way it can take off without air passing under and over the wings to lift the plain… now if it was in a wind tunnel then yes it would. ---

the conveyor would be disallowed on airport grounds by the TSA because if the plane on the conveyor never took off it would be impossible for terrorists to hijack thus rendering the loser TSA agents [more of] a complete waste of time and money ---

Although this is OT, please do not start the argument this thread. There are already a number of other threads that you can post your opinions/thoughts/reasons in: [http://nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39105&highlight=plane+treadmill](http://nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39105&highlight=plane+treadmill) [http://nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8684&highlight=plane+treadmill](http://nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8684&highlight=plane+treadmill) Feel free to answer the original question though: Have you asked anyone else this question?
