Mythbusters airplane/treadmill video
PeeCeeElf,
didn't address the question as it was originally asked There is no way to ask the question without the aircraft taking off. The only difference is in the speed of the wheels. In one variant, it is twice that of a "stationary runway" situation, in the other it is infinite. In both cases, nothing keeps the aircraft from flying. Einstein had a hard time convincing people, too. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

In case you missed it, here's the segment on You Tube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=KSBFQOfas60&feature=related And yet, the debate continues. :- ( Dear God, let it end already. It's like that friend of mine who was convinced that if an airplane does a U-turn against a 40-knot headwind, it will stall and crash. As if wings are somehow aware of the planet beneath them. It's the same damn thing.
