You fat lards need to get away from the computer and get on a treadmill yourselves.

I thought I would dust off this old gem to kill the PIC thread.
Let's say you had a giant treadmill with an airplane on it.
As you add power and begin to move for the takoff roll, the treadmill speeds up and keeps the plane in the same relative position. As the plane goes faster, the treadmill speeds up, always maintaining the aircraft's relative position.
Would you ever be able to take off?
GO!!
another way to look at is an airboat in a river. The thrust of the airboat is from an airplane propeller.
Aim the airboat up river and give her all she's got. If the river keeps accelerating downstream as you speed up going upstream. Will you move?
If the top end of the airboat is 100kts, and the river is flowing at 100 kts the other way, will you have moved past the dock you just left on the shoreline?
Oh, it's on the Internet. Must be right then.
