[quote=“943kgt,post:317,topic:37453"”]

momentum = mass X velocity

Velocity = distance/time

get it straight willybeen the plane isnt moving so the distance traveled is 0. 0/ any number is 0 and mass x 0 is 0. so it actually doenst have momentum.

and besides its not forward momentum that lifts a plane, its wind.

[/quote]

we know its not forward momentum but it will gain forward momentum over an infinite amount of time and which given X amount of time and Y amount of distance it will eventually take off cause it will have gained that forward momentum which creates wind which gets the plane lift
