If this were to be real, it would obviously be impractical, but I wonder if it would actually fly.
Even though this is photoshopped, I am curious if this would actually fly IRL

Yes it would fly
No it isn't efficient
Bentley Stewart
And a waste of space, and why do you need such a big engine? Unless you are carrying 10 tons of lead.
Logan Powell
What about this?
Austin Smith
You could, but then you can't make a profit with a fuck big engine like that and barely any space for passengers.
Brayden Cruz
Same tred from like a month ago.
Aiden Sullivan
Yes, there's nothing in the laws of physics that says such a design wouldn't be able to fly, just look at Korean war-era jets like the MiG and the Sabre.
Ethan Hall
Has it really been a month? Im starting to lose it
Nicholas Adams
Maybe I've been bored lately and it seems longer.

>let's pump hot air directly into the passengers cabin
Levi Martinez
look again, dumbo
Hunter Hughes
So basically decreasing capacity by at least 50%, barely useful.
What's the point of having the airflow inside anyways?
Carson Anderson
Nazis actually developed a piloted version of the V1 rocket. The pilot was supposed to steer towards the target and bail out.
I'm not sure how many pilots got sucked into the intake before they abandoned it.
Liam Green
What about 10 tons of feathers?
Brayden Russell
It would fly, but passenger weight would completely fuck up the balance and, unlike an existing craft, you'd be fucked if you lost one engine.
Nicholas Bell
The fan would have to spin at relatively low RPM to not fuck itself apart which makes the fan rather useless, the engine itself would have to be much smaller behind the fan which pretty much breaks the entire purpose, engines dont scale well

fuhr FUN
Liam Johnson
Also you'd need some way of preventing the plane from rotating around its axis. Otherwise, torque from the single engine would be a severe problem.
Thomas Sanchez
would this fly?
Zachary Rogers
People probably still think this wouldn't work.
Jacob Carter
anything flies if you put a big enough rocket on it.
Jaxson Miller
that's because the question is ambiguous so all the testing methodology has been flawed
i don't think anyone ever implied that a treadmill would impede the ability for a plane to take off, though this seems to be what everyone clamors for "THE IMAGE WAS PROVED RIGHT THANKS TO DISCOVERY CHANNEL, YOU SUCK AND WE'RE MORE SCIENCYSMART"
but you cannot reduce the amount of space required for the plane to take off by putting a treadmill under it, it needs to travel the same geographic distance in order to achieve the lift necessary
John Cruz
No, there is no cockpit, so it won't fly
Caleb Young
No, jet fuel will melt steel poles of running road.
Christian Cox
Oh, fuck. I thought it had turbofans on wings.
I need my eyes checked I guess.
Hudson Cruz
Is this your fetish?
