what if it was a paper airplane… made out of rolling paper… with PCP sprinkled on it…

The cops would find it and beat it … then paper airplanes would riot

this is stupid, the plane dosnt get any speed to get wind. no wind no lift

not always because that would be a different friction force acting on the plane, and depending on teh magnitude of the force, you would get your answer

How else are you going to create a vertical pressure differential across the wings? 😉

Well that’s where you faith in thy conveyor belt would come into play. All I know is that the conveyor belt is telling me that he has you on his mind and he has plans for you. This is, of course, if you aren’t one of those liberals…conveyor belts don’t like liberals.

wind in the right direction creates air speed…

airspeed = lift.

the amount of lift/airspeed needed to get off the ground is determined by weight of the airplane, wing space, and amount of flaps 🙂

yes, thats why planes are tied down in high winds

hey, like i said i few pages back, teh original question itself states the plane will get forward motion

the plane HAS to get forward motion for the runway to speed up

plane is stationaly, runway is stationary  
plane moves forward at 10mph runway moves back at 10mph

eventualy the plane will be moving forward at take off speed, and the only think slowing the plane down is the extra friction from the wheels doing double speed

Such as airspeed created by a wind tunnel? :snky:
