Look kiddies aircraft fly using bernoulli's theory "where speed is greatest pressure is least" since wings are in an aerofoil shape bottom is flat top is curved the top is also longer then the bottom lets say the top is 3M the bottom is 2M but the air needs to get around at the same time on both sides. To cover the top as quick as the bottom the air has to pass over fast. Because its passing over fast on the top then the bottom the pressure pushing the wing down is releive and the pressure pushing the wing up is constant. So the wing is swept up and it takes the aircraft with it. The aircraft is not sucked up if you read this on websites it is wrong it is pushed up. Without speed you cant produce lift unless you got a 400MPH headwind and an aircraft which can fly backwards.

Aircraft also use Newtons 3rd law but this can only be put into effect once it is in the air. Newtons 3rd law is "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" and it has to do with the angles that the wings are on this is also referred to as "ski effect" I wont explain it here because its got nothing to do with the question but you can google it.

Those are the 2 ways a wing works only 1 of them counts for this question if the aircraft isn't going forward its wings arent producing lift it is not going to get off the ground. Aircraft are also powered by their engines while on the ground which means the forward movement does not come from the wheels powering themselves and moving forward like is the movement in a car. It will not take off full stop red f*cking dot. If anyone continues to argue I hope you have read up on Bernoulli's theorem and Newtons 3rd law or your argument is pretty much useless. Try me.

I just came from the gym, got on the treadmill and guess what, if there is no thrust from the engine, (considering that this "treadmill" is an actual runway) the jet does move backwards and will go to the end. Theres a subway station in NYC where theres one of those conveyor belt type walkways. Put on your rollerblades and act like a plane with your engines off and youll just go with the flow(whichever way the walkway is going). You need equilibrium in the middle. If you're going to give me theres no friction in the wheels bs or the no engine in the wheels bs then youre still going to be wrong. SOMETHING has to hold the object(in this case airplane) in place for the wheels to rotate. We should go ask Newton about this. And I'm sure he'll side with the "no, the plane is not going to take off, and the plane will move with the belt if the engine is off" answer.

This is a crazy thread.
Thanks, someone who gets it.  +1 to you

Krouser is right, all that will be affected by the treadmill is the tires which are free to rotate at what ever speed they need to, It's a physics thing. The engines make thrust thus pushing the plane forward the wheels are merely there to reduce drag during takeoff, when the plane moves forward at 10 MPH the treadmill will do 10 MPH in the opposite direction making the wheels go 20 MPH or your on a moving walk way with Rollerblades on and your Buddie is on the regular carpet walkway pulling you with a rope you will go forward like a water skier, they amount of force needed from your Buddie will be affected by the condition of your blades.
Chew on that.

it doesn't matter a damn thing how fast the plane is moving on this treadmill. if there is no airflow, there is no lift. if you put this same plane on this same treadmill with airflow at the treadmill's speed, NOW we would have lift being generated.

and if the treadmill did theoretically compesate for friction, the plane would still not take off. the speed of the plane doesn't matter so much as it's airspeed.


you are basically dealing with a fluid dynamics problem here. the fluid (air) is not moving around the wings of the plane. if you don't have any fluid flow, you don't have lift.


ATG: concerning your last post:

Would not the thrust of the engines eventually render the plane in effect weightless?
no. the thrust force would equal the drag force and render the plane stationary. this is a basic physics problem with forces in different directions.

Allowing it to fly?
no. it has nothing to do with position, but how much air flows over the wings' surface. the engines on a plane merely push or pull the plane along so that the wing can do the work of providing lift.

Yes, 'cos it's a F-35 and it could go up

And even if it wasn't: However fast the treadmill turns, the wheels will just turn faster until there's sufficient speed to take off because thrust is produced by something other than the wheels

you are still missing the point that the wheels don't drive the plane, they are rollers nothing more the engines will still push the plane to take off speed. Think about the wheels when a plane lands, they are not spinning until they touch the ground

oops sorry thats only if the wheels propelled it. Yea it would take off but with the belt always matching the speed of the wheels and the plane still moving  forward at a more than 100 mph I bet that belt would be flying too.

A diagram to see if people understand,

https://www.qfom.com.au/images/how_wings.gif

To put it simple, there is NO airflow over the wing on a treadmill, the wheels are there only for movement on the ground. For the aircraft to takeoff the aircraft would have to equal the opposite force, and then over that speed to its Vr speed.

Eg: Treadmill @ 200mph opposite speed,

If the aircraft had a takeoff speed of say 200mph (no less),

Then for it to takeoff the aircraft would have to have a measured ground speed of 400mph, to counteract the movement of the 'ground'

Now I hope that makes some sense as I am half soaked

OMG.  If I could start flaming people and not get banned, I think I would.  Instead, I would like to thank all the people who are supporting my answer. 

All you people who say something about friction, you're crazy.  Have you ever taken a physics class?  Wheels create what is known as static friction.  Basically (I'm not a physicist here, so I could use some help here) it means that the wheels have a constant grip on the ground and when a car's axle turns the wheel that grip pushes the car forward.  When a car "peels out" it has overcome the static friction and the wheels are just sliding on the ground.  In this scenario we are talking about a plane though.  The friction between the wheels in the ground remains the same as it would regardless of the speed of the ground or treadmill.  What the wheels do for the plane is negate the friction between the ground and the plane so that it can move forward when the engines provide thrust.  The thrust does not come from the wheels moving.  There is no axle tied between the jet and the wheels, nor are there any cables which make them spin.  If you turned an airplane upside down and fire up the engines, the wheels probably wouldn't spin very much.

Up north I believe it is very common for a plane to take off on ice, they just have skis on them.  This would be similar to your treadmill question in that the wheels wouldn't be useful (if you still believe the wheels are what makes a plane move forward then they would just slide on the ice.)  Also, sea planes take off in water that is moving the other direction all the time...  If you still believe a plane can not take off on a treadmill I'll get my professor / pilot dad to write a short paper about it and I'll post it on the internets (but it will be really boring).

Edit:  I posted this w/o realizing there was a second page.  I'm not changing anything though.  For all of you people who claim the treadmills speed will keep the plane stationary, will you please explain to me how it is affecting the air traveling through a jet or prop?  Because those are pushing off the air (not the ground), which makes the plane move forward, which makes the air move around the wings (not because the jet / prop pushes the air past the wings, but because the planes forward motion makes the air move past the wings), which creates lift, which makes the plane fly.
