Plane and Conveyor Belt....LOL

I noticed this thread on NJFBOA before I signed up, and now I see it's back again on my brother's club board in Florida :lol: Thought you guys would get a kick out of it:

F the PLANE!!!

I knew that was coming....I was just waiting to see who said it first!

Embrace the plane... Love the plane.

don't you mean........buy the plane.....part out the plane :D

[Tru2Chevy]

Only if it's a 1LE plane....

But only if it is a rare collector's plane.

And the plans won't fly as long as the belt keeps moving at the speed of the wheels. No air flow = no flight.

Sounds like an episode of MYTHBUSTERS needs to be done on this.

it was already proven that the plane will fly, so dont start it again

:rofl:


yes, mythbusters does need to test this!

[Oddball]

It's all speculation until I see it in action. Though it is a badly worded question in the first place.

[Tru2Chevy]

No they don't. The plane will fly.

[Brando56894]

i still dont believe it

[Savage_Messiah]

F THE MOTHER F-ING PLANE!

[Oddball]

Depending on how you intrepret the question it could be either answer. This is the type of question my college professors would love to give us just to see how we think. I'll write up my analysis later if I have the time. The key word is traction / friction.

[turbo96z28]

i hate the plane.

i hope Paul parts out the plane.




it's gotta say 1LE on it somewhere.

Oddball ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*giggle*

[GP99GT]

oddball...traction isnt needed because the wheels dont drive the plane

which means the wheels are irrelevant to the planes forward motion

which means the plane can move forward in relation to the ground, and take off

the end. im going to the mythbusters website to send in the idea

edit: nevermind, on the forum for submitting ideas therse a 10 page thread about it, with everyone fighting :lol:

but, everyone says it will take off....youre wrong. maybe we'll see it on the show someday cause it seems popular

done :smile:

[WayFast84]

F the plane!!! gosh!!

[Ian]

you've got to be kidding me! not this again :lol:

this is what I posted on FLCFA:

the answer is the plane WILL take off.

think about this: A toy car on a treadmill. the treadmill starts up and goes as fast as it can, however you are holding the car in one position. the slightest push forward from you will make the car roll forward. Why? The treadmill is not counteracting the thrust. now if it were the same scenario, but someone was holding your arm back just as hard as you were pushing it forward, then the car wouldnt move.

In order for the plane to stay stationary, there needs to be a force opposing the body of the plane, not the wheels.

cliff notes: the wheels dont push the plane, therefore they dont matter. the jet out back does push the plane and operates unopposed. the plane moves forward, air moves over and under the wings and the plane takes off.




END!

Does your mother know you talk that way?

[79CamaroDiva]

cars and planes don't work the same way. A car's wheels are its means of propulsion--they push the road backwards (relatively speaking), and the car moves forward. In contrast, a plane's wheels aren't motorized; their purpose is to reduce friction during takeoff (and add it, by braking, when landing). What gets a plane moving are its propellers or jet turbines, which shove the air backward and thereby impel the plane forward. What the wheels, conveyor belt, etc, are up to is largely irrelevant. Let me repeat: Once the pilot fires up the engines, the plane moves forward at pretty much the usual speed relative to the ground--and more importantly the air--regardless of how fast the conveyor belt is moving backward. This generates lift on the wings, and the plane takes off. All the conveyor belt does is, as you correctly conclude, make the plane's wheels spin madly.

F all of you people who keep bringing it up!

[1bad3800]

i agreee MAKE IT STOP! no more brain teasers

god dam. this has been on every board ive ever been a member of


















































THE PLANE WONT TAKE OFF

[V]

ok... i know im the last one to talk, but this thread seriously needs to die. lol, We all have argued and debated, but none of us are aeronautical engineers(well that i know of) so we cant prove anything. The answer has been explained SEVERAL times all across the web, search for the answer and think about it by yourself. Yes i brought the original thread back from the dead a few months ago(and then it was locked... lol), but that was mainly for the sake of competing against and comparision to the Buddy List thread(BL FTW) lol.

[WayFast84]

f the plane allready!

[Oddball]

Sensing the air, even *I* dropped the topic :-)

[trashman01]

my first thread that i ever stared and got locked. was it like 40 something pages? 1/3 of the current buddy list page count

[Tsar]

STOP IT!

stop what? :twisted:

bumping this thread! :lol:

keep it up and we'll make you fall out of orbit Space Station....

its kinda too late for that dude, the space station has been resting at the buttom of the ocean for quite some time now :???:

that's true, but your head still sees to be out in orbit :p

that's true, but your head still sees to be out in orbit :p
which one :lol:
