A jet plane on a large treadmill

If the airplane on the treadmill is from Allegiant does that make a difference in the outcome?

No, but it does if it's Spirit.

Is it an Allegiant treadmill, or an Allegiant airplane?

If you want the Allegiant treadmill, that costs extra.

and if you want the treadmill to actually work? even more money.

And if your want the treadmill to run on time, well, take out a second mortgage.

I have never had trouble with Allegiant. Great service MSO to OAK in the summer. Pack a small carry-on and go visit the rents for a few days.

Like this?

No, with the fans spinning, dumbass.

I was trying to figure out which one would catch on fire first, the treadmill or the jet. Both?

Guess I should have looked for a gif.

Hey, why did the Polish helicopter pilot crash?

**stuckathuntermtn** · 04-19-2018, 10:12 PM

Whoops, let that one get away.

No, he was cold so he turned off the fan.

So if there are four rats running in the opposite direction as the treadmill is turning, does it change the velocity of the treadmill?

Trick question. The treadmill has no velocity. It just sits on the floor.

Unless . . .
You are considering the rotational velocity of the earth.
Or the orbital velocity of the solar system

In which case, four rats have no effect

Haven't watched the video yet

Watched video. I never followed the thread closely. But it always seemed obvious to me the plane would take off

**Core Shot** · 03-22-2021, 07:04 PM

Yep. The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe

**m2711c** · 03-22-2021, 07:15 PM

deep fake.

Thread title specifically mentions JET PLANE on a TREADMILL, homeboy up thread posts video of a prop plane on a conveyer belt. Complete FAIL.

Yeah, but what if it's a turboprop?

**Greenstateofmind** · 03-22-2021, 09:49 PM

Doesn’t matter if it’s a jet or turbo prop. Adam has this question all wrong. Why the hell would you measure the ground speed of an air plane? You don’t measure a cars velocity by air speed. So of course the conveyor’s computers would be programmed to match the AIRSPEED based on the thrust being created. More thrust equals more conveyor speed. It’s the only way this question makes sense

The plane doesn't give a rip about conveyor speed. The only effect the belt speed has, once the plane is under thrust, is to make the free-spinning wheels spin faster during take off. The plane uses the same thrust taking off from the belt or solid ground.

**Greenstateofmind** · 03-22-2021, 10:24 PM

Why doesn’t a box fan blow itself over?

Because the thrust is less than the physical force required to move the mass of the fan.

In other words, For the fan to be able to knock itself over in the first place, it requires a mass and also a force of unequal vector greater than the mass and gravitational force that makes the fan stationary.

I get why the plane takes off. However with a treadmill capable of fully supporting the plane you could get that sucker stationary.

What happens if you put a powerful fan on a skateboard on a treadmill?

**Greenstateofmind** · 03-22-2021, 10:55 PM

Nevermind. I retract my bologna sandwich. Carry on

**jono** · 03-22-2021, 11:02 PM

No fair. If you're gonna weigh in on team skid you gotta be ready to make the treadmill more powerful than the plane and really commit to the infinite belt acceleration. Otherwise you might as well join the sobriety thread. Quitter.
