The Earth rotates at about 1,000 miles per hour!

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.sigpic

This has been long debated and I'm not too sure about it. Anyone know if Myth Busters did it?
I think it's wrong because a plane needs air flow under the wings to create lift. If it's on a treadmill the wheels will be going fast (due to the turbine/props pushing it forward) but there will be no airflow because it won't be going anywhere.
Can anyone confirm?Comment

Yes it will its simple common sense and logic.
YES Myth busters did it too.

I don't understand why this has EVER been an argument!
A plane doesn't rely on it's wheels for propulsion.

Aahah I remember watching that episode after I saw the full scale yellow plane and the setup. Before I saw it I said the same thing, it wouldn't work, and for the same reason this time I left out the fact that the wheels are not a part of the equation, it's not like they pull the plane back or anything. My bad
