Finally, Adam and Jamie carefully navigate their way through a myth that has baffled everyone from web bloggers to pilots. If a plane is traveling at takeoff speed on a conveyor belt, and the belt is matching that speed in the opposite direction, can the plane take off? Extensive small-scale testing with a super treadmill and a nearly uncontrollable model airplane don’t completely resolve the myth, so our flight cadets supersize the myth with help from a willing pilot and his Ultralight flying machine.

8

10

11

The plane will take off.

12

i can’t wait!!

i hope everyone braces themselves. i think the internet may implode when this happens.

I say the plane will NOT take off, insufficient airflow over the wings to generate lift. I also say they do a closeup shot of Kari’s ass or chest at least 3 times during the show.

14

i say in a real life situation the plane will take off but i have a feeling they are going to have a hard time replicating this and it wont on tv. And yes Kari is the hottest fucking nerd on the planet.
