Dumb question thread

[Turf1600]

the only reason it took off was because the airplane was moving in a foreward direction with air flowing around the wings, generating lift.

Are you fucking with everyone or are you really THAT stupid?

...due to the engine pulling it down the runway. Why cant retards wrap their heads around the fact that the wheels do nothing but reduce friction? How is a seaplane able to take off? How waffleswaffleswaffles planes take off and land on ice/snow??

you are so fucking annoying

You fucking turn the engines on and try to take of like normal and the plane takes off.

There is a bit more to it than that,

First you go though the pre flight check list, if all is good, remove wheel chocks, then check that the prop is clear of any obstructons, if it is, you start engine, after that, check that all doors are sucurely latched, then fasen seat belts, taxi to run way, await permission for take off, when granted,position flaps, to take off position, ( if your plane has them) hold brakes, bring rpm's up, when rpms are at the level there susposed to be for that partticular aircraft, you release brakes, gather speed down runway, after you reach take off speed, pull back on yoke ( or stick) to gain altitude, after you reach your desired sltitude, level off, set flaps to 0, throttle engines back a bit and you flying.

How is my view reatared, i think I explaied the facts quite well. did you even read the rest of my post, or did you stop aftr the first sentence? I think post #15 of mine is one of the most intelligent posts ive ever made on R3v...

you are so fucking annoying

First of all the wheels on an air plane are not powered. For a plane to take off, air must be flowing around the wings, (generates lift) And for this to happen, the the entire air plane,( fuselage, wings, all of it, traveling as a whole) must be traveling at its take off speed,( powered by engine(s)) which varies between different planes. If you were to place a plane on a treadmill, the wheels may be spinning at take off speed, but the sence the fuselage/wings are not moving, there isnt sufficient airflow flowing around the wings, so no lift is generated. So, a plane placed on a stationary treadmill, will not take off...ever

That's what was said by a coule of guys.

The airplane is "moved" by its reactors or propelers. So, wether the airplane is located on a threadmill or the tip of my dick, it will be displaced away from the theadmill (or thetip of my dick) as soon as the reactors (or propellers) are activated. Away from the threadmill (or my dick).

No need to (again) try to push your retarded point of view.

[ALYKZANDYR]

Yes, it will.

Since the wheels are the ones driving the plane. It's whatever else is propelling it forward(obviously dependent on the type of plane).

Mythbusters did this ;)

More and more idiots are attempting DOHC swaps.....Its scary really.

Corrected. :pimp:

i dunno about dumb questions but OP sure has made a lotta dumbest statements in the healthcare thread and other political ones.

True. Oh so true.

[theox69]

No, because the airplane isnt actually traveling at take off speed, it is going 0MPH, So it will not take off.

Yes, it will.
