concede, it just doesnt make any sense…like i said put a plane on stands, let the engines do their work, and see if it lifts off…

you’re being an idiot… put a plane on ice and see it take off… its wheels on essentially a frictionless surface… watch the you tube video… the plane will eventually build the speed up to take off… why they dont use treadmills on an aircraft… well you’re being dumb again… i never said it will aid in shortening the runway… i strictly said the plane will take off given enough space…

NEVER DID THE EXPERIMENT SAY SPEED OVER GROUND = ZERO… (as i misread the original experiment)… the plane will gain momentum with time and take off…

you lose… wanna bet?
