hmm thrust generates lift? according to nasa lift is created by a flow of air, and judging by the animations on the bottom, it doesnt appear to be coming from thrusters or a prop…

**AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!** :ham:

Everyone seems to be forgetting that the Mythbuster’s experiment involves the treadmill equaling the plane’s takeoff speed.

**AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!** :ham:

the wheels can be spinning negative eleventybilliontrillion pineapples/hour (it’s completely irrelevant), and the plane will still claw its way forward via the **engines, which have nothing to do with the ground**.

What’s stopping the plane from moving??? Spinning wheels?? **NO, NOTHING IS STOPPING THE PLANE FROM MOVING!!!** The plane will **MOVE FORWARD** the same as it would if it were on a stationary runway.

Goddamnit, I told myself I wouldn’t ever get involved in this shit, but 943kgt and SI01 make me want to gouge my brain out with a spoon.
