Default Re: Will the plane takeoff?

I didn't look at his links () so I can't speak for that.

I do know that if I take a bottle rocket and attach it to a Matchbox on a beltsander spinning at full speed, light the rocket, it's going to go. Unless I accidentally sand my fingertips off.

I got my answer by cheating and reading a physics site. No, I didn't read all 15 pages!!!! Just the first and last few.

BTW, when I'm driving down the road and a fly is in the car, why doesn't the fly it the dash when I hit the brakes. And if the fly is flying around from front to back while I'm driving 55, what's the fly's speed in each direction?
