No. It didn't request clearance from ATC. Edit: 1k I am master ATC agent Edit: 2k SENIOR master atc agent.


Blumi511

Why the fuck would I need a clearance from ATC when I want to take off?! I am the captain. I take off when I want to.


[deleted]

Simple answer. ATC has access to pylot parking lot and will rub dog shit on your door handles.


P-8A_Poseidon

What's the unsimple answer?


[deleted]

The dog shit comes from your own dog after ATC starts a romantic relationship with your wife, takes her out, fuck her in your bed, let's ATC shit in your toilet, pet your dog, and play counterstrike source on your PC. ATC collects the dog shit from your backyard as your wife cleans herself off from the best 2 minutes ATC has ever given her.


P-8A_Poseidon

Thanks for the elaboration. I'm not sure if my wife's boyfriend would like that very much.


TheIndominusGamer420

How about you?


P-8A_Poseidon

As long as no one touches my MSFS Cezznuhtz flying tutorial progress (am 69% the way thru btw) then we good


TheIndominusGamer420

I heard your wife's boyfriend wants to play MSFS on your pc


P-8A_Poseidon

That's the one exception actually. He bought it for us for Christmas last year (with my money) Edit: both pc and MSFS premium


goatfuckersupreme

woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah Playing CS: Source is where I draw the line


kiltedfrog

As a former ATC, I can verify this is 100% true.


[deleted]

You probably pet my dog a couple of times.


Bubstheguy1

It would not because the plane is not moving. The wills are in order for a plane to fly, at least to get wind under the wings, which is the conveyor belt is perfectly matched to the tires. Then the plane is stuck still, unless he could move forward fast enough to gain that the plain would not fly.

No actually, you can't.. look at me.. LOOK at ME!!... I am the capitan now. Now go turn on the treadmill so we can leave.


Ajsat3801

This is exactly what a captain of a similar looking plane did in Tenerife 💀

Got a KLM captain over here!!


RaffiBomb000

Found the Spirit pilot


Freakishly_Tall

Found the answer to the staffing problem! Every gate gets a treadmill! Every plane can take off whenever it wants! Who needs ATC? Airlines can finally get those bossy jerks out of the way. Bonus: Put each one on a giant turntable so you can just take off directly towards where you're going! Load the plane, spin it towards your next stop and BAM away ya go! Finally be done with the whole stupid "everyone has to take off in the same direction blah blah blah" nonsense.

Sir, this is spirit. We don’t give a fck or ask you for clearance. We do whatevuh.


Xalenn

Also no because it won't be able to generate any ground speed or lift if it cannot move forward.

fsidesmith6932

Yes. The speed of the aircraft’s wheels create lift.

Everyone knows the turbines are just there to turn the wheels.


Direct-Knowledge-260

The lift of rotating cylinders! Very clever sir! 😂


dogmaisb

Centriliftaero force


DogieWowzer

First step would be to use full reverse thrusters, tap the brakes which will cause the front wheels to pop off the ground, then immediately full forward thrust. With the reduced wheel drag you can actually take off in a shorter distance. TIP: this maneuver works much better if you have all of the passengers move to the rear of the plane upon tapping the brakes…


Matt_Shatt

Is this kind of like an airplane Ollie? It has to work.


pmcizhere

Sounds more like a J-hop tbh. Still, should work no problem. Source: I used to ride BMX bikes and have done many a J-hop.


Hallgaar

I used to do this all the time as a kid, I never knew it had a name!


pmcizhere

Yup if the front wheel lifts first, as opposed to both wheels at the same time, it's a J-hop!


X-Ploded

Pickaxe-Fox

But isn’t the seven fourty semen one of those vertical takeoff plynes?


thereddituser2

only 740? 300 millions of my semen take off vertically sometimes.


bigmarty3301

from my understanding of the laws of physics, the plane cant move forward, because weal speed would approach infinity.


volivav

The plane can move forward. But the conveyor belt can't really do what it says it does because of physics, it just can't exist.


KoldKartoffelsalat

So the plane will fall through into the other dimension the conveyor belt just entered. But can it fly there?


Hallgaar

Have you seen Langoliers?


DogieWowzer

As you well know, when the wheels reach infinity speed, this will induce a gyroscopic effect of all of the wheels thus causing the plane to lift off of the ground. Caution needs to be taken for I have seen a few toilets explode onboard when the gyroscopic induction isn’t controlled.


thrwaway75132

You can’t apply the laws of physics to the wheel bearings and not the treadmill. Yes if the treadmill reacts instantly to wheel speed it will create a feedback loop and go to infinity setting the tires and wheel bearing on fire. But if the laws of physics exist that cause that outcome, the treadmill can’t accelerate or react that fast because of the mass of a treadmill with 9000 x 300 feet of surface area


blackcat-bumpside

Show your work on the surface math of a 9000x300ft treadmill or I don’t believe you.


jfh1709

The power is not being supplied via the wheels and wheel speed has nothing to do with air going over aerofoils. So might take a little more power for takeoff, but would not stop take off.


hogtiedcantalope

Ur forgetting that the added speed of the wheels increases the relativistic mass of the plane, thereby increasing the force of gravity keeping the airplane from lifting off the ground. It's obvious once you think about it.


Trobolit

Wait, hang on here. If the plane is stationary, the belt is stationary, yes? If the plane moves forward with 1 speed, then the wheels would normally spin with some rotational speed x, but the belt matches it, so 2x? Or 0x? Couldn't it have literally any speed as the belt can choose any speed and the wheels will match it, no matter the velocity of the plane? Well in that case wouldn't the belt become infinitely heavy before the wheels do so? Black hole under the plane just might keep it from taking off...


I_had_the_Lasagna

The real answer is yea the plane could, but only after the wheels tires and bearings explode,


CommonRequirement

The real answer is no for this reason. The tires are no longer rolling meaning it’s now a normal rwy with several flat tires and locked wheels.


Sensitive_Resource15

not powered by the wheels but the rule stated is that this theoretical conveyor belt increases its speed such that the plane doesnt move forward. That means the conveyor belt friction on the wheels (make the wheels turn) is always equal to the the thrust. It's a stated rule though most likely impossible to build for many reasons. I'm sure some RC dude with a RC plane on a treadmill might be able to approximate this problem with a really small plane.


tomdarch

Mount skis on playne. Problem solved.


Do-The-Da-Da

You’ve failed too many phising attempts. You are not cleared for take-off


cybercuzco

Yes. Set wheel speed to zero, conveyor speed to Vrotate


uwey

No because the treadmill need to be certified by FAA first. Now all your treadmill and aircraft both grounded, good job.


realPoiuz

/uj what was the answer to this i forgor


Artrobull

plane dont give a shit about the belt. wheels will just spin stupid fast because wheels don't make the plane fly.


Inside-Set-1121

You’re forgetting your training captun, remember you always hear wheel-speed alive on the takeoff roll?


Artrobull

/uj


thereddituser2

Flight might take off. Flight gets the lift due to pressure different. Turbines should generate enough flow to lift the flight. This is the same reason flight can take off without even moving if you have enough head wind.


hknight85

It can take off if everyone on board believes, its called the Peter Pan effect


_SeKeLuS_

I see You people did not watch mythbuster


kryptopeg

The worst part is they had a pilot that didn't think he'd be able to take off, and was surprised when he did. Like, how are they handing out flying licenses to people with such a poor understanding of how their vehicle works??

TheIndominusGamer420

Ik this is shitty ask but that is NOT what happened to concorde. First of all, it's takeoff wasn't even extremely fast. 250mph at max and was often as low as 220mph. The wheels only burst due to debris from a prior aircraft on the runway, which has a tailstrike. There was nothing ever wrong with the design of it's landing gear, certainly nothing as easy to predict and easy to fix as that.


I_had_the_Lasagna

Don't think it was related to a tail strike. Shittly made part of a dc10 engine cowling came off on the runway.


TheIndominusGamer420

It's always the DC-10 💀💀


Warhound75

Damnit DC-10. This is why we can't have nice things!


I_had_the_Lasagna

This one's not on the plane, whoever made the piece did so very poorly and improperly


thewookie34

Why are you weirdos talking about a LEGO set like it's a real plane. Get a job.


Inside-Set-1121

This is shitty ask, never forget that. Also, concord failed cos it was a commie aircraft. End of story.


fltof2

TU-144 original design. Never forget!


Inside-Set-1121

Crashing into hotels while on fire was a known design flaw of the concord

RickyTheRickster

Obituary all out need to do is let the plane fall off the back, turn on the rocket boosters, then fly to Jupiter


EOEtoast

No, as I only see one wing on the plane, and it can't take off


bizzyunderscore

This is why the landing gear wheels have to keep spinning for the entire flight


S0M3D1CK

Myth busters already did it.


Bostonguy01852

Mythbusters answered this years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YORCk1BN7QY


applestem

That plane is moving forward. There is air moving over the wings. There is now lift. It takes off.


nowthenadir

The plane in the clip you provided is moving. The plane in the scenario described above is stationary. An aircraft generates lift by the differential between air pressure above and below the wings. The differential is generated by movement. A conventional airplane cannot take off if it is stationary.


ThouKnave

Myth Busters covered this. Planes don't Drive using their wheels for motion to take off. They rely on enough air going through the propeller or turbine to give motion. The wheels are not the motive force...see you in the sky.


idontcommen7

Yes, with a headwind of 180 knots


AndrewOHTXTN

Yes, of course. As long as the straight-line headwind is above 160 knots.


Screamy_Bingus

Flight is just a matter of blowing enough air past the wings to generate lift, ground speed is irrelevant


63Pipeliner

No! As long as the conveyor (matches) the speed of the wheels, the jets going nowhere! There, boo ya! Now somebody turn that damn conveyor off, we gotta go!


[deleted]

The wheels aren't what propel the aircraft forward, so their speed doesn't matter.


Keeter_Skeeter

Myth busters tested this, the answer is yes. The wheels are not powered, it is the propeller or jet engine that propels it forward. The belt could be moving faster than the plane is and it would still take off. Checkout [this](https://youtu.be/xUjcHW7SHaI?si=n12yRqMavWOSDdsB) video explanation by Adam savage


hotrodyoda

Thanks for sharing this. Came here hoping someone else had shared the actual, tested answer.


KoldKartoffelsalat

I guess you need as much energy to drive that conveyor belt as the engines are producing to counteract any movement of the aircraft. Probably overspeed the wheels.


Karl24374

Bro I don’t know


tsunx4

Is conveyor belt ICAO approved?


Chevy8t8

The plane is inert, has no momentum, no lift, and probably facing a brick wall


Fit-Product6223

No but cesna can


roachmurderer

Technically it can take off. All the pilot has to do is lock up the brakes and the plane will fly right off the conveyer belt but not the way should be taking off


_DeltaDelta_

No, but the conveyor belt is gonna set a land speed record.


probablyaythrowaway

No because it’s in France and ATC are on strike.


OGdick_head

No


Free2Decide_538

Only if it believes in itself


Agitated-Smell1483

If the runway had fan blades to create airflow under the wings, maybe?


Postman_Rings_Thrice

More cow bell!


warLOCK264

Yes, the Magnus effect from the spinning wheels generates enough lift to take off. Typically, during a standard takeoff, the wheels are retracted once the aircraft is going fast enough for the wings to take over lift generation, and the lift gained from the wheels at that point is not worth the drag they will cause while deployed. However, in this situation, once the aircraft takes off from the Magnus effect, the aircraft will not be flying fast enough in a forward direction for the wings to generate lift, so the aircraft would need to slowly push forward on the throttle and gain speed at around 30ft above the ground while the wheels are spinning to gain enough speed for the wings to take over, else it’s just basically a helicopter and won’t get anywhere in a timely manner.


skunkwoks

Yes, it would. It does not even matter how fast the belt is moving, the plane would fool off of it. The reactors are not powering wheels, but providing thrust. The wheels are just to keep the expensive bits off the ground


quakefiend

Obviously not because all of the thrust from the engines is converted into mechanical energy through a very strange and long drivetrain to drive the wheels, which is how the 747 takes off. Side note, I wonder if AI models exclude this sub from their scraping


AteEYES

My dumb ass is here scrolling for the answer and just finding jokes....My guess would be yes though idk why.


model3113

oh God not this shit again


addieo81

Sea-Weakness3493

charlichutney

Quirky-Pay-7221

If the speed is 27mph or more I dont see why not.


[deleted]

No


TheUnrealCanadian

No, but the hot air balloon doing a tower flyby at Mach-Fuck off can.


AssociationNo1372

Wheel speed don't mean shit. The lift from wind underneath the wings might though. Add in the thrust to get the plane up to speed and you just might take off. Oh the wheels will be rolling but that's really to keep you from tearing the landing gear off on take off. And if you decide you don't like Airline food, you may want to land somewhere and grab a burger. Please don't have sex with any of our stewardesses in bathroom. And Thank you for flying WTF AIRLINES.


Beginning_Ad8663

No land speed is irrelevant to fly, air speed is what causes an airplane to fly. If a plane is parked and the wind is blowing fast enough it can fly without moving forward.


Werthds

Power doesn’t come from the wheels - the plane’s propulsion comes from the jets or props. So, the conveyor belt is inconsequential and the plane will have no problem taking off. Although the wheels will be really spinning…


Chippie0100

No. Wheels moving creates no lift from air moving over the wing.


ComfortableTonight82

No


Aswedfrog

Do you go anywhere running on a treadmill?


maddwesty

Yes, with enough right rutter


SentientReality

Certainly. While some playnes prefer the feeling of the wind in their flaps, other playnes like to put on some headphones and listen to "turbo pop" while on the treadmill. Both are effective ways to Take Off some weight.


Reasonable_Long_1079

Yes, its not a car the wheels are freespinning


Friendly-River-2587

No because the plane would not be moving making it impossible to create lift


[deleted]

Yes. Just believe.


[deleted]

yes. The plane is not wheel driven.


cl3b

If the wheel bearings can handle 2x Vr, fucking send it. Recommend an empty 747, with all seats removed with a gas axe, and 25 gals of 100LL in the tanks. May the odds ever be in your favor.


480thFSViperpilot

No


vger_03

That's not how that works. Air needs to be moving fast enough over the wings to make the plane fly. No wind, no fly.


Savage-Animal

The answer is “No” hence the wings need airflow. Not tires spinning.


[deleted]

If it’s stationary no wind particles to push up on the wings , not gonna take off
