Treadmills match your speed? I always thought you set a speed and had to keep that pace or fall off.

Basically this.
If treadmill has a max speed of 100mph. Planes jet engines can create a rolling ground speed of 550mph, plane will take off at whatever manufacturers minimal take off speed was tested at (say 200mph). So plane would need to reach 300mph (on the treadmill) before it lifts off, or 200mph on a normal runway.

A treadmill is going to match a speed of a wheel that is based on the speed of the treadmill? Nice try brah. The airplane's wheel speed is faster than the treadmill (lets say 1mph). Try to set your treadmill speed to 1 mph faster than the speed of itself.

It wouldn't matter if the treadmill reached 300mph... The plane will only take off when its airspeed is enough to create lift across its wings. If the plane is stationary, the plane will obviously experience zero aerodynamic lift... All the "treadmill" has done is make the wheels turn faster.

Try dis on 4 size:
1 mile wide treadmill
Powered by huge motor
A car drives on the treadmill
Car reaches 140mph
Treadmill is also moving at 140mph
Car thinks he gon' troll, it has 10 jet engines on the roof of the car in a huge wing formation
Car brah powers all 10 jet engines to full thrust
Combined thrust makes car reach 1000mph
Huge treadmill matches 1000mph instantly
Car stays stationary to observer looking on from a distance
Who was airflow?

We are talking about airplanes, which rely on rolling ground speed to create enough airflow under the wings to produce lift. If the specific plane was tested and concluded that it needed 200mph rolling ground speed to lift off as a minimum, that is what it needs.
That said, if 200mph worth of wind was created via a huge fan, the plane would lift off from stationary. Treadmill cant produce that though

Still haven't heard an answer to this:
1. You're holding a toy car in place on a treadmill
2. Treadmill's speed increases from 1mph to 1000mph
3. You can still move the toy car back and forth with your forearms.
4. It's not harder to hold it in place the faster it goes.
5. You could easily push it forward until it is not on the treadmill anymore i.e. liftoff.
inb4 "it would accelerate to keep up with you"
In the "infinite accelleration" scenario, the wheels AND the treadmill would accelerate so instantaneously that they'd both blow up, so we have to ignore friction in the treadmill and the wheels.Broke both legs and ankles crew.
Recover gains or die trying crew.

Mmm... No ? Rolling resistance DOES increase with speed AFAIK. Surely it is extremely low at typical treadmill velocities but the treadmill of the thought experiment is imaginary anyway.
I would also add that the thrust "going through the wheels" or "coming from the jets" is a completely irrelevant point, as the average force balance of the problem has to be balanced (and it is) wherever the thrust is applied. A car would not power through simply because of the fact that the trasmission imposes a fixed/finite wheel/engine turn ratio, not because the power "goes through the wheels", and on the same note plane with skis rather than wheels would quite clearly NOT take off.

This actually makes it easier to understand.
I couldn't give a fukk how fast the treadmill and the wheels are spinning. I still can push the toy plane around.
But I still wonder what would actually happen to the wheels and the treadmill..... will they keep accelerating untill the plane finally lifts off?* KNEE DRAGGERS UNITE *
