...but it can't take off...
If the plane just sits there on the belt moving backward, it will go backward.
If it is not on a belt, and turns on the engines, it will go forward.
Even though the propellers and jets will be pushing the air, the belt is still pulling back on the wheels. It doesn't matter that the engines are not pushing it forward on the belt, just that it is pushing it forward at all. It is still an equation of subtracting vectors. Still no wind, no lift, no take-off.
Somebody has to try it out on a remote control plane on a treadmil. (if anybody has both.) We need to have a definite answer...
WHAT ? hehehe
No, actually the guys that build sets for movies are actually called Prop builders, or prop makers. It comes from a fight between IATSE and the Construction Carpenters union. Early on the Carpenters union tried to muscle in on the movie industry and force the set builders to join thier union. As we all well know there is a big difference between Set carpentry and construction carpentry, just as there is between a theatrical electrician and a IBEW guy. Yes the basic concepts are the same but application, language and practice sometime differs. So the legal battle ensued and, from what I understand the courts said, " a carp is a carp" and since the Carpentry union had a "specialization" or Designation of Carpenter, the movie industry or IATSE countered by creating the designation of "Prop builder" to get around the legal restricton.
I love movie work. It's kind of different from the theatre world but it's a blast. The money is not bad either !
Ok give me a day or two to think up a new one.....
