Official MythBusters "PLANE on a CONVEYOR" episode PARTY!!! (12/12/07 @ 8pm)

thrust from jet engines, answer my fucking question, what causes a plane to lift ?

[/quote]

we’re taking this one step at a time noob…

so we agree that thrust from jet engines makes the plane move in the forward motion…very good!

on to the next question…

we know wind against the wings generates the lift to get the plan in the air…where does this wind from from?

i’ll make this a multiple choice question for you to avoid any confusion:

The wind generating the lift comes from:

A - Mother Nature

B - the plane moving forward.

Hint:

when you ride your bicycle, on a perfectly calm day…if you go any speed above 3mph, do you feel any kind of breeze on your face?
