wind passing under/over the airfoil causes the lift.

There ya go!

So, on a treadmill, how does wind pass over the airfoil?

Ok, there is no wind, so no lift.

what if i put a box fan in front of it?

(we have a side bet on this too, forgive me)

This has gone beyond ridiculous.

Planes are wheel driven, so land speed matters more than air speed. duh

Exactly. I hope you didn't bet that it wouldn't work, like a fucking retard.

Remember the Coriolis effect and shit. It plays into there too. I'm writing a book. Exhaust gasses and shit. All that engine needs to do it have proper backpressure. Maybe a Suzuki muffler will help lift off, but that's top secret, Skunk Works shit right now.

Did I mention I'm writing a book?

[BustaRhymes325i]

does FMF make a muffler for the new GE turbines?

[BustaRhymes325i]

not to go all ricky carmichael/chuck yeager on you...
