Can the Plane Take Off ?

[BRY]

Can it f**k. There is a reason why a place has wings.

Which place has wings

[Bibby]

A plaice kind of has wings....

Which place has wings

My country manor has an east wing and a west wing! Does that count? :mischeif:

Yeah, it would take off in theory.
It says the conveyor matches the plane speed not the wheel speed. If it tracks the plane speed (think of it as the body of the plane) then the wheels would just rotate more and more quickly to compensate as the plane accelerated.

If the conveyor continuously matched the actual wheel speed then the plane would remain stationary, as the wheels would have to be travelling faster than the conveyor to give the plane any forward momentum.

OK i meant plane. mis type.

The wheels DONT give the plane the forward momentum... It's ze thrust from ze jet engines.

[PeteRR]

I know , I meant in relation to the actual plane momentum. After all, the wheels are the point of contact with the ground that ultimately transfers the momentum.

The question is, how does a plane work out his speed? wheels? gps?

[PeteRR]

Usually by means of a Pitot Tube that basically conyeys relative air pressure to the airspeed indicator in the cockpit.
