You didn't miss much. There was a lengthy digression into Apples, I drew a diagram, Weems called us all idiots, Merkyl explained Casters, and PoChop solved
the world's energy crisis. Oh, and I threatened to kill everyone in the thread, including myself, and posted a picture of John Hinckley with a gun to his
head. There. You're caught up.

Hey, my services don't come THAT cheap.
One million pretend dollars AND...a bag of BBQ Pork rinds. Also, I don't read threads about Fruit or Noodle's bodily functions. |

I think it's the whole misconception that the plane would be held stationary by the tarp.
Back to the original query, the speed of the tarp is supposed to match the speed of the plane. Assuming the plane is stationary, then it's speed would be zero. So the speed of the tarp must also be zero (because it matches the plane). So... how could a motionless tarp keep a plane from moving? |

I finally got around to watching this on TIVO last night around midnight. I actually did a little happy dance in the family room when the plane took off.

That's what I was driving at in Post #105 when I realized my own error.

The plane would not go anywhere because the pilots went on strike. As soon as the strike ended, the airline went into bankruptcy so that it could renege on its
promises to the pilots. Then, while in bankruptcy, the airline merged with another airline and moved its operations to another city. The vice-president who
came up with the idea of putting the plane on a treadmill received a golden parachute worth more than $7,000,000, which is only fair since he worked at the
airline for nearly 6 months.

too tired to read all this shit.
But Myth Busters showed the plane will take off. It's air speed, bot ground speed. |

You're going to have to post a YouTube. The way I figure it, there is no air speed because the plane is stationary relative to the air.
