If a large plane, like a 747, is on a larger treadmill that fits it on the tracks/belt, and the treadmill is off so it just spins as you force it back, will it be able to take off?

If a PLANE is on a TREADMILL will it TAKE OFF? (Large plane, large treadmill) [Pics]

Yes, because no power is going to the wheels. The jets are pushing off the surrounding air not the ground. It will take off like normal
Edit let's me see it I can explain it for the potato brains on the misc
The plane is powered by thrust from the jets/propellers that act on the AIR not the ground. The treadmill can be running at 100000000mph but the wheels will be freely spinning. The treadmill acts on the wheels but not on the plane. So if you increase thrust the plane will still began to move forward (then create LIFT) even if the treadmill increases speed proportionally. The tires will be moving faster as result but this won't effect the plane taking off (providing the treadmill is runway length)
This is basic stuff I really think we might not all make it.Last edited by GerbilFarmer; 03-23-2014 at 05:24 PM.

yes, assuming the treadmill is the length of a runway. If not, the plane will just move forward until it runs out of treadmill, and then come off and crash or w/e.
If you say no, and your conclusion is based on the fact that the plane will remain stationary, you are wrong. end of story. The plane will not remain stationary. The plane is not providing power through the wheels, but through the jet engines pushing the air. lol @ retards ITT acting like anyone that says yes is wrong.Last edited by Streaks; 03-23-2014 at 04:03 PM.

I personally think it would absolutely take off. I'm not physics brah though really. And LOL @ "if mythbusters said it wont, it wont!!!" like they are some sort of gods, did they literally try to take off a large plane on an even larger TREADMILL (BECAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN A TREADMILL THAT BIG IF YOU ASK ME) lol their science can easily be flawed they are goons on an entertainment fake tv show

at least one person in this thread, will genuinely think it could take off.
this fact saddens me
what the fuk are yuo even talking about.
the treadmill isn't moving. its stationary. the belt is moving.
what is this 'air' going over and under the wings you speak of? the plane's wheels are moving. not the plane.

No. Planes generate life by air going over/under their wings. If it's on a treadmill the ground is moving in relation to the stationary plane and air, not vice versa (which is required for lift).

If the treadmill is long enough for the plane to reach takeoff speed then it will take off.
How this question continues to come up is perplexing. Airplanes don't take off using their wheels. The wheels are free spinning via bearings. Hence why airplanes can land and take off on bodies of water even if there is a current. The thrust of the engines propels the plane by acting on the air, not the ground. Assuming we don't get into the fact that the bearings could potentially melt via friction of spinning at very high speeds, a treadmill would be incapable of stopping the plane from traveling down the runway and taking off.
Here's a simplified analogy. If you were on a skateboard on a treadmill and holding a rope tied to the wall you wouldn't move no matter how fast the treadmill was going. Now if you use that rope to pull yourself forward you would move forward. Same concept. The air plane uses the air to move forward. There is no relation to the ground.
