OK Phil. I read that post.

A plane has a forward FORCE of 10,000n
My treadmill can also produce an opposing Force of 10,000n

This is where that dude with all the newtons is DEAD WRONG

The treadmill CANNOT make an opposing force Unless the wheels of the airplane are chocked, braked, or the like.


The conveyer STILL cannot act on the airplane.

Heres the way I see it in my mind in the VERY begining of the start.

Everything at rest, no movement anywhere, and magic treadmill.

You apply 100% throttle to your airplane, and your airplane pushes the AIR thats not connected to the treadmill. Airplane moves foward a fraction of an inch, and the treadmill says OHHHH Hell no airplane STOP!!!!! so it goes backwards, BUT the wheels slip, and the treadmill says Ohh no.... I cant stop this plane from pulling itself foward across me no matter HOW fast I run in either direction!!!!

The plane will normally accelerate foward as the treadmill will match the speed in the exact opposite direction.

How do you state that the treadmill will STOP the plane from accelerating in relation to the air?
