Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Not this one again.

Nashio, yes the plane WILL TAKE OFF. Forget all the myth-busters crap, the treadmill crap and what ever else is out there crap. Just put your brain into gear and figure it out. Let’s take it in easy steps (sorry if I’m sounding patronizing)

We’ll stick with a prop powered plane. Firstly ask yourself, what makes the plane move on the ground? It sure isn’t anything to do with driving the wheels as in a car is it? If not, then it’s got to be something to do with the prop working the air, right? OK. Now the same reasoning goes for when the plane is flying through the air. The prop verses air struggle propels the aircraft forward. Therefore we can rule out any mechanical/direct link to the runway in any senerio. Bare with me. Sure you say, but the runway is moving in the opposite direction to the pulling power of the prop. Yes, but as there is no mechanical link between aircraft movement and the runway, what’s going to drag the aircraft backwards, or at least, hold it back to counter-act the pulling power of the prop? The prop will still cause the plane to move forward. THE AIR ISN’T MOVING BACKWARDS AT THE SAME RATE AS THE RUNWAY. IT’S MOTIONLESS AND THE PROP/PLANE WORKS AGAINST IT, NOT THE GROUND.The wheels, being in touch with both the r/w and plane, will rotate at twice their normal speed for sure, but the plane will gain forward motion and eventually take off.

Another way to look at it is, imagine a plane coming into land. Just at the moment of touch-down it’s traveling at say 55mph and therefore, the r/w is traveling at 55mph in the opposite direction with ‘respect to the plane’. Does the plane care? No, because the wheels just spin up to the required speed once the tires hit the dirt. If the r/w was going backwards at 110mph, would it make any difference? No, the wheels would just spin twice as fast. The plane wouldn’t and couldn’t come to a sudden stop.

I hope that is clear enough for you and anyone else that is in doubt. Once again, sorry if I come over as patronizing.

The real Stig wouldn’t have to ask :diablo:

The whole thing would be easier to build. Mind you, I’m not so sure about that tail hanging off the rear end. You’ll need a very flat approach so that it didn’t touch down first, but then, delta’s need a high AoA for landing. Hmmmm, you’re heading for trouble. You would also need larger control surfaces in my opinion.
Keep trying mate, keep trying.

My error

virtually complete cockpit? where? I see only fragments of wing and a the complete tail

Yes you’re right. I looked at several youtube clips and got that one mixed in. Sorry. Still, how the hell did the tail section end up virtually undamaged?

Doug,

Seen my blog lately ?

Yes, I’m keeping an eye on it via HBA.

Slippers shaped like animal feet.

Hats for dogs.

And luminous condoms.

All because they always make people smile

Enjoy :diablo:

How? More to the point why? …………Sometimes they are so simple that even the average person in the street can figure out how they are done.

So, have you figured out how this one was done? No, then he succeeded in baffling you as well, and that was his aim.
