[quote=“badazzss,post:305,topic:37377"”] the wheels may slip on ice, less friction, but, there is still some friction, so the plane can move forward and eventually take off. ice is not a moving surface… a treadmill is effectively keeping the plane in the same location by going in the opposite direction, and in the perfect (impossible example), at the same speed to offset the thrust. [/quote] do you realize that the thrust is completely independent of the wheels right? i have not taken physics nor have i taken higher level math…but logic tells me the wheels will spin twice as fast in the opposite direction when independent thrust (like maybe a jet engine) is applied. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mythbusters-anyone-see-something-that-will-stop-6000-page-threads/37377)._
