Thats the theory..but it did not do it

Did you watch the episode, or just believe what someone else told you?
Or did you google mythbusters and check the results.

i watched it and then i watched it again and it does get airborne...i cant remember why the shorter distance thing crept in.. the model they used i think took off in a few meters..
But yes the microlight did take off in a respectable distance

Yes I'm with Bushwhacker.. the belt in mythbusters was not computer controlled.. I feel a take off and landing others factors come into play here...

Now it's obvious you're trolling.

Hmmm.

You're either playing the wind up game by doing a very good impression of an idiot.
Or, you've spent a little bit too long sniffing petrol, you're a few bananas short of a fruit basket, you're not the sharpest tool in the draw, you're as bright as two short planks, you're one savant short of being an idiot savant, etc.

Bearing in mind you're apparently quite a good mechanic, you manage to keep the forum running, and you seem to be able to type coherently without just banging your Neanderthal forehead on the keyboard I'm going to assume the former.

I will congratulate you on putting forward some truly brilliant pieces of flawed logic though, and a wonderful display of missing the point completely, not to mention a wind up ability that's not been seen since Heinrich Von Clockenmaker single handedly wound up all the watches and clocks in his father clock warehouse in just one night while sleepwalking.

Thanks, I assume your playing the game as well then.
I still dont see where in the original thread it said a propeller driven plane is on a conveyour belt.
Hell its a jet plane and them dont push no air over the wings so neither does a single prop or twin prop plane it sucks the air in through the prop causing the pane to move forwards and causes forward momentum which in turn causes air flow over the wings and a a certain speed enough air flow causes lift.
Because if the props caused the air flow over the wings prop planes could take off on the spot merely on the air flow the prop would create over the wings

How do gyrocopters work?

Voo-Doo.

Nobody is suggesting the plane will fly based on the air movement over the wings caused directly by the propellors spinning. The facts are that the conveyor belt is incapable of keeping the plane from moving forward at will, doesn't matter how fast it's spinning.

Via the medium of darnce.

Actually some people have suggested it. But presumably only in order to troll.

but if will's not in front of it then it won't move
