It is clearly time to revisit airplanes taking off on tredmills.

I have to agree. ANYTHING would be better than hearing the resident idiot
troll's blithering.

It goes something like this.

An airplane is about to takeoff on a runway, that is really a treadmill; a
very expensive treadmill.

The treadmill senses the airplane's speed, and matches the aircraft's speed,
with speed increases of its own.

Can the airplane takeoff? Why or why not?
