I don't understand how a plane that is not moving forward can fly. That's my take on this thread fifteen pages ago.
So, if I put on some wings and ran on a treadmill I'd create lift and be able to fly???!!!!

I read this post and screamed out loud:Tell you what: send this link with the original problem to Mythbusters, and they will probably be glad to try it out.
(that is, if they even bother to - everyone should be able to tell by simply thinking logically, that it won't fly)
Yeah but if but ther still is friction that can slow up the plane and not leting it get enough lift to get into air.
