Would it work?

As long as its wheels can spin at combined speed of treadmill and takeoff speed without breaking, it will fly.

Yes

>As long as its wheels can spin
every rpm means more friction for the next rpm
there's no arbitrary cutoff. So a shitty or overloaded plane that can barely take off as is won't take off on a treadmill.

The difference is that the aircraft force doesn't come from the wheels.
Imagine it being attached to a cable and a winch instead of that rotor.

The plane pushes against the air to accelerate. The wheels are free spinning. The treadmill is irrelevant.

Wouldn't it depend entirely on the thrust to weight of the craft? Typical aircraft fly because of lift and the engines exist to maintain/incite lift under the wings via forward momentum.
If there is zero lift being generated since its not traveling through a fluid (the atmosphere) then how is it going to take off? It would be like tying the aircraft to the ground and and letting go and expecting to to instantly take off. It could in theory if it had a very high power to weight ratio, but most aircraft won't be able to.
I'm watching the Mythbusters bit on this and the way the experiment is setup is beyond retarded (the plane actually moves forward) and those comments holy shit people are stupid.

This has actually been tested

Since the force is from the wind instead of the treadmill it will still move forwards.

I mean, yeah. you could also do it with a car. but it would still be using gasoline to fuel the vehicle.

>Not understanding how free rolling wheels work
Yes.

No, rolling road will not take off.

Go bait somewhere else.

It would need lift to take off, and it can't get air under it's wings without moving forwards, wind, or an artificial air current. So if "work" consists of taking off, then no, it would not work.

The exercise is usually done assuming no resistance from the wheel friction or air for convenience's sake. There is an excellent blog done only for this thought experiment explaining why, if the pilot wants to take off, he will, regardless of the speed of the treadmill.

The speed of the treadmill moving backwards doesn't match the forwards momentum the engine of the plane is producing while its till on the ground. You can clearly see the plane moving forward against the cones while its still on the ground as it takes off.

Of fucking course it doesn't. Because the plane doesn't produce momentum relative the path, it's relative to the air around it.
The path could go at the speed of light and it would still be gaining speed because the air is still.
That's the point.

Braindead niggers.

well?

it would fall off the treadmill, you doublenigger

I'm so glad this bait still has wings

Stop pretending to be retarded.
Neither. Cube disintegrates as individual sections of each and every atom is subjected to infinitely high acceleration relative their other parts.

Will it work?

it only uses air-pressure so there's no reason it couldn't

planes are just over glorified hot-air balloons

Fun fact: Some heavy lift cargo planes use propeller engines instead of jets because a propeller in front of the wing is forcing greater airflow at lower takeoff speed which helps generate lift.

Runway is too short.

>assume away the interesting part of the problem then declare it simple
found the physicist

All these mentally ill people implying OP implied what would work. Maybe he just wants to drive a few centimeter in his plane, which would be totally understandable and relatable.

This is HMS Gibraltar

you can't move portals

Yes you can. See the neurotoxin generator part of Portal 2.

And the answer is B. The cube was moving very fast relative to the portal, so it will come out moving fast.

Looks like it's hot outside... must be summer.

This was a myth busters episode, yes it does work.

>mythbusters
The one when they had a bunch of birds in the back of a van, and tested whether the van weighed less/more/same if the birds were sitting on their perches or flying around in the back.
>now that was edutainment.

Choosing what myths to test doesn't make their results any less valid, kys.

In reality it would probably fall off the conveyor before it reached takeoff speed since the conveyor is too short. Assuming that's not an issue, then yes it will take off.
