Lets see the BRAINS of RME

ok now what if a rocket is skipping upstream over the moving water of a moonriver with the fat chick pedaling the treadmill winching the rocket backwards, will the rocket escape the moons gravity before the fat chick burns 10,000 calories?

The plane fly's, the wheels sping twice as fast assuming negligible drag forces and friction in the wheels. Nuff said...

PS, I just ran this past a room full of ME students, Prof. Drake is drawing a free-body diagram as I type... He's convinced it flies!

Ok, so we have proved it about twenty five times. Who still thinks the plane doesn't fly?
I have not seen it proven, except by false logic. A wing is an air foil. In the cicumstances described no air is moving across the wing to give it lift. I f you still believe it will you need to patent this idea and sell it to the Navy so they can quit buying VTOL and using a cable to accelerate their wings up to speed that will give them lift.

Here's the flaw in your logic, "no air is moving across the wing to give it lift" the source of the Thrust is pushing agains the AIR behind it, which means that it will push forward regardless of what the wheels do. it could be 400 miles an hour it wouldn't matter, it will still move the plane, The reason that the navy couldn't use it is because the airplane would still take of normally and require the same length of runway, the runway would just be moving under the tires. I took the position you are taking for quite some time this afternoon, I finally asked an engineer friend of mine who set me strait.

I was just going to say the same thing. There is nothing keep the wheels in a stationary point on the belt. If the wheels were driven, then yes, the plan would not move. But they aren't. The jet/prop is what moves the plane and there is no belt holding them in place.

For those of you who still don't buy it: please explain to me how the treadmill is holding back a freewheeling tire on an airplane that is trying to move forward.
