Default Re: Will the plane takeoff?

Ok I'm getting dizzy reading all these posts, but for those that say it won't take off, you are right.

Planes need forward movement through the air in order to generate negative pressure above the wing surface, thus creating lift. If the wing isn't moving through the air, then it doesn't matter what you do, it won't take off.

I think someone else already explained this, but this is the dumbed down version.
