TooAddicted 0 #102 January 5, 2006 Good question & intersting replies Concidered opinion from Blighty - Wheels just balance the A/C - they dont create forward movement. The prop pulls the plane through the air & this reletive movement of air from nose to tail creates lift under the wings, the only way a plane can take off is if there is enough lift (ie: from movement of air) under the wing. No relative movement of air (as per the conveyor situation) means no lift, so no take off Just to be clear "lift under the wing" - there are 2 components to this - positive air pressure under the wing & negative air pressure over the wing, both adding to "lift" and both requireing relative flow of air. Anyway- life would be boring with conveyors. Find a proper runway, get up, jump out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoostedXT 0 #103 January 5, 2006 I VOTE the plane doesnt take off unless it has the ability to slide and skid its way to take off. Anytime you have rotation of something you also have the factors of slipping and skidding. The plane wont be able to take off unless and it skid fast enough. joe PS- I went to school for golf...LOLFor long as you live and high you fly and smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry and all that you touch and all that you see is all your life will ever be.
