To follow up my rant, Rick you owe me a beer. I'll buy the next round...
this morning came the team meeting call. I drove home the point - image is image. 1 == 1. The new VM is not equating to that. Explain to me what your definition of image is? Well, we migrated it... (after 3 months of copy the elephanting server ffs).
For what it's worth, I understand why the did what they did but "not appropriate for the lounge".

I almost had it at the third try but the word I used wasn't in the dictionary. For a good reason; I thought it had 5 letters but in actuality it had 6. The word was rejected, I didn't locate several letters, wandered off and then finally solved the puzzle.

If an airplane is positioned on a conveyor belt as wide as a runway, and this conveyor belt is designed to exactly match the speed of the wheels, but moving in the opposite direction, ...
Can the airplane take off?

Not a joke. A question asked by my friend, for which I am not aware of the answer.
|
|
|
|
|
Degree in physics, as if it mattered: No. The lift depends on airflow over the airplane wings. There will be none.
|
|
|
|
|
Certainly true - as long as you don't fire up the engines. But without the engines running, the plane won't lift even on a normal runway.
The engines will push the plane up to speed, creating that airflow. The push is unaffected by those free-running wheels spinning like crazy - the plane accelerates just as much, wheels spinning or not.
|
|
|
|
|
The engines don't directly cause the airflow. The engines push the airplane, whose movement through the air causes the airflow over the wings.
|
|
|
|
|
So there will be an airflow, and the plane will lift into the air.
The airflow is a consequence of the engines pushing the plane into speed, exactly as at a "standard" take off. The only difference is that the free running wheels will be spinning twice as fast when the plane leaves the ground, but the speed of the plane - relative to the surrounding air and the solid ground - will be exactly as for a normal take off. The air flow in the same.
|
|

Not quite accurate. The airflow over the wings is only part of the lift needed to fly. Modern aircraft are too heavy to use the Bernoulli Principle to fly. Instead they use the redirected air flow from the belly of the fuselage. Watch an aircraft in flight - the nose is always higher than the tail and the plane is staying aloft from Newton's 3rd Law of motion. The force keeping the plane in the air is the air being deflected down by the slope of the fuselage.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes it can, the wheels spin freely and have nothing to do with propulsion, even in normal takeoffs. The Mythbusters even did a show about it.
|
|
|
|

The answer is not without wind.
An airplane is lifted off the ground, not because of the speed of the plane, per se.
But because of the speed of the air moving above and below the wing.
The shape of the wing leverages the Bernoulli affect. (High Pressure below the wing, lower pressure above),
giving the plane "lift".
In fact, during a strong wind storm. Planes that are stored OUTSIDE, and TIED DOWN. WILL Lift into the air, and pull against the ropes. Being in Florida, I have witnessed this first hand. It's wild. (And it only works if the plane is facing the wind! The other planes get pushed "down/away" as their wings are "reversed", or they get turned.)

Obviously yes I would say
