Not unless it’s a huge treadmill and the plane is moving significantly faster than the track

The answer is no. Everyone says it’s yes because the wheels don’t provide the thrust for the plane. But the fact of the matter is that if the plane is not moving through the air (the way a treadmill works, you aren’t moving forward, it’s not a fucking runway) then it’s not creating lift. Period.

False.

An ultralight plane needs 40-50 MPH for takeoff.
A Cessna need 60-65 MPH.
Assuming the treadmill moves in the opposite direction at the same speed, the plane is not going to remain still. The wheels are just going to spin faster. You may need an extra 5-10% of thrust to compensate for friction, so the equivalent of 75 MPH should easily get the plane off the ground. And if the plane is a Harrier Jet, well... :dog

In this scenario, the runway is essentially a really long treadmill. Otherwise, the answer is no, because no treadmill is big enough for a plane. :roll:

When I ask the question can a plane take off on a treadmill the implication is that the treadmill is big enough to hold the plane but not much more so just like the normal use of a treadmill it’s going the same speed as the person(plane) on it. If it’s a runway that has a conveyer belt on it sure. But that’s dumb

So you frame it as "can a plane take off on a treadmill only slightly longer than the plane, not allowing the plane to move forward?" That wouldn't be possible even if the "treadmill" was not moving. And you think the idea of the runway being a conveyor belt is dumb? The length of the treadmill is not specified. Bottom line: a plane can take off on a treadmill... unless that treadmill is unreasonably short.

No it can’t. How far can you run on a treadmill if it’s turned off… a plane can’t take off on a treadmill. A plan can take off on a runway with a really long conveyer belt sure. A plane can’t take off on a treadmill that is a reasonable size compared to the size of a plane. Period. You’re mad. lol

The question isn’t. Can a plane take off on a moving sidewalk like they have at airports. People are stationary on a treadmill. A plane would be too and it wouldn’t take off. Obviously. There is no lift. Have you ever seen a treadmill? lol

A conveyor belt and treadmill are the same thing, just used for different purposes. Again, the length of the treadmill is not specified. A plane can take off on a treadmill. :moon

it’s not the same thing and a plane being blown away by strong winds is not a plane taking off on a treadmill either lol you’re wrong and that’s ok

Can a plane take off on a large tread mill, that’s longer than the plane and resembles a conveyor belt, in a strong wind?

Not if it’s a cross wind. And it needs to be the length of a runway that it would need to take off if it wasn’t a conveyor belt so it’s a dumb argument. Can a plane take off from a runway. Yes :facepalm

You so mad you're not even responding to the right comment :dog

ps - a plane can still take off on a treadmill :trolldance

No. It can’t. You don’t even know what a treadmill is… :umad

Just like old times :newnana :bananasex
