Knights Reborn

Remember the question about the plane and treadmill I asked in this thread
http://www.knights-reborn.org/forum/vie ... php?t=2293

Well Mythbusters did a show on it, and the plane takes off.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S377HwOthjo - Them explaining why

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VMkEb4Xzf4 - Footage of the plane actually taking off, (not a treadmill but a giant tarp going in the opposite direction does exactly the same thing)

I thought it was kinda cool, i thought i would post it

Interesting, although I haven't watched the whole episode Im not sure on their 'conveyer belt' though, but meh, my two cents

they have footage of smaller models on actual treadmills, but it would be a bit hard to get a 100ft treadmill that could hold a plane for the life sized thing, hold on ill go find the vids

Edit: here they are, but they are horrible quality (the episode only aired yesterday) ReEdit: the links were long and messed up the page so i shortened

Me too! Has anyone ever seen Top Gear? It's a great show.

Top gear is actually the best show ever!
