until it overcomes the friction of the wheels...

there is no power going to the wheels of an airplane, it used a propeller to pull it forward. so the moving treadmill has no effect on the plane

and then takes off.

so the miniature plane on a treadmill failed. the ultralight on the tarp (not sure how true to a treadmill this was) took off. so it's at least plausible that the plane can take off. proved me wrong.

i am definitely intrigued by the physics involved here and i would like to investigate it further. unfortunately, i lack the resources to prove it true or false, and have to accept what happened on MythBusters.

i cant believe this thread is still going on..

can some body just lock this god damn thread already?

you could have just let it die. but no, you bumped it up. well done.

as long as its not locked SOMEBODY would have bumped it...
