I can't belive this topic is still going.

There's 2 answers it either took off or it didn't,

No there is ONE right answer to any physics question.....That`s why "Ye cannae change the LAWS of physics"

Forget the jet engine .think of it as the hand of god

Wheels or no wheels a force is pushing the friggin thing forward

Like a 2 year old pushing a toy -wheelless -car

now if u said there was a wind tunnel mathcing the speed of the plane then it cant take off but it could rise and fall

Rise? As in take off?

Fall? As in, er, land?

No, as in the Roman Empire!

Not as Reginald Perrin?

Could he fly as well?

Not if his thrust was overcome by the frictional force of the wheels of his plane.........

How would that work then?

Do you think that if you had a runway that moved, for example, you could cancel it out?

Open the pod bay doors, Hal.

It would fly completely as normal provided the wheels / bearings / tyres could stand going twice the speed of a normal takeoff. The aircraft relies on thrust from it's engines to get it airborne, no drive being given to the wheels.

Four Harrier GR3s were flown from the Atlantic Conveyor to the aircraft carrier HMS Hermes .. So there you go !

..and the remaining aircraft arrived aboard Hermes on 19 and 20 May.

I bet that hurt .. ?
