I wouldn't know; it's just what they say.

thread asking “Can an airplane take off from a treadmill?”

when the real question would be "can i levitate my plane if i have a big enough fan?"

squeezable kraut?! I think I'll pass...

Oh, I'm sure it'll pass...

“Can an airplane take off from a treadmill?”.

Just for fun, I'm thinking that if the wheels of the craft are in good shape and greased, only the wheels will turn.
I'm not going to rebut or argue since I'm not qualified but it was a very fun mind puzzle.
You might have even meant it as a joke, I don't know.
Now mobius strips....

Without wind over the wings there is no lift. So if the treadmill was on a moving train….

That was funny.
I like the stepping out of an elevator just before crashes (shout out to Bugs Bunny, I think?)
I actually investigated (went on the internet) Flat Earth stuff. They really, really want to believe. I learned definitely not to make fun of them.

The wheels of an airplane only support the airplane when it’s on the ground. They have nothing to do with propelling the airplane. That is done by the thrust from the propeller. The air doesn’t care what the wheels are doing; the thrust will move the airplane forward but, assuming the treadmill is moving opposite of the airplane, the wheels will spin faster than normal. When takeoff speed is reached the wheels will be spinning twice as fast as on a stationary runway (assuming that the treadmill is moving at the aircraft’s normal takeoff speed; that‘s how the challenge is usually presented) but the airplane will stil take off.

If you reverse the train, the airplane will take off in half the normal distance. Just sayin’…

Didn't know.. The secret UN NWO army at the antarctic ice wall at the edge of the earth have to use treadmills for the secret planes that every meteorologist on earth uses to fake round satellite images, to take off or they'll fall over the side!
...oh... I forgot my CAPS LOCK and BOLD TYPE!!

Too few Random Pictures on this page...
Here's another use for grain-socks that makes a cervical collar breathable, cleaner and a lot easier on the skin:

Yeah, kind of like that. An inclination that I'm guilty of is, "COME ON, MAN!!! SERIOUSLY???"
EDITED because I'm probably wrong about what was here.

So it does work is what I got. That's cool.

Every plane I’ve been on has a kitchen well stocked with microwave ovens. You notice how when they’re serving dinner it’s smoother? That’s because those microwaves are busy warming your chicken or beef INSTEAD OF PROVIDING THRUST.
Those things out on the wings are just for dispersing chemtrails.

Glad I didn't take History in Arkansas in 2005. Looks a lot like Calc or Diff EQ to me.

I forget which bar this is in, but our ship's plaque is hanging somewhere in Key West

I don't remember it at all, only that it was the very last time I ever drank tequila

any knowledge I have of the events of the evening I only learned from eyewitness accounts

Another day, another aircraft in the yard. This time a helicopter.
View attachment 770860
Same pilot (“Uncle” Scott, not really my daughter’s kids uncle, but they call him that) landed to pick up our grandson to take him to a fly-in breakfast at an airport about 50 miles SW of here.

didn't notice the helicopter much, BUT DAMN! the immersion chiller caught my eye!

Don't you just hate it when you forget to close the bottom valve on your fermenter and your fresh wort ends up all over the floor?

Put on a pair of shorts while in Florida. Filled with red ants (fire ants maybe they were called). That happened. No ferrets.

I was driving from California to Oklahoma and pulled over in eastern New Mexico. Crawled into my sleeping bag in the back seat for a nap. Turns out I had parked on a fire ant hill because I woke up with my sleeping bag full of them. I have no idea how they coordinated getting in place before biting all at the same time. We have red ants in California but fire ants are a whole other level of evil!

I can attest to this.... Lived in TX for a whlle and those little bastages do exactly that.... they'll all get on you, and then one of them releases some kind of pheremone or something that says "ATTACK!" Those things are nasty!
