thrust will create “wind speed”, dummy…
the wheels do not generate speed / nor wind…
It only takes off if the ground speed is above zero. Any other answer is wrong.
For that WAP, Tyre was willing to change his pronouns to was/were.
I’ve stayed out of this airplane shit for 2.5 threads now, and I can’t take it any longer.
If the wheels are on this hypothetical treadmill, and the treadmill maintains the exact same speed as the wheels are rolling, I don’t see how the plane can achieve lift. Everyone keeps saying thrust powers the plane, not the wheels…yes, I understand that. But the plane is on the ground, accelerating in a normal situation. If the treadmill can keep the plane/fuselage/wings at a net speed of zero in relation to the air, it can’t lift, right?
What am I missing?

My exact first thought. I wanted a lesbian vampire scene in that movie to a dangerous level.
The wheels have exactly nothing to do with the acceleration of the plane. Just accept that you’re wrong and move on
You have to have ground speed for lift. Lift creates flight. If it only took thrust then cars would constantly fly at drag racing, half mile, and one mile events.

Apply some critical thinking then come back
Man, I’m trying.
I understand the wheels are not what propels the aircraft. It’s thrust, or whatever the hell propellers do (propel? propulsion?) that accelerate the machine. But the wheels are still rolling across the ground correct?
If the ground is moving backwards while the plane tries rolling forward, and the net speed is zero, how does air move across the wings?
My tiny brain can’t get over it.
The wheels will just spin twice as fast
You’re running on a treadmill. You are running forwards at 8 mph, the belt is moving backwards at 8 mph. You are stationary on the machine. I come and kick you in the back, you fly forward and eat shit into the TV display. The kick in your back is what the jet engines on the wings of the airplane are doing - the wheels are entirely irrelevant.
wow, really.
Seems bizarre to me. I guess I get the visualization, I just have a hard time looking beyond the wheel speed shit.
Since it’s learning day:
If I throw a baseball 80mph on the back of a flat bed trailer in the direction of travel while the truck is traveling 80mph, would a radar gun read it at ~160mph? (Assuming the truck has created a wind block)
Eat poop.
I work for the railroad, we use brakes from the Civil War and chew on lead paint.
This is why I said that the ground speed had to be above zero. The picture says nothing about thrust.
Without lift, thrust just propels the plane forward.

And the wheels or the (moving or non moving) surface they are on have exactly zero to do with ground speed
The wheels don’t make the plane go forward. That’s all you need to know. Lol
