Damn, I can't wait for this show. So many high and drunk conversations debating which is right.

Just to clarify, for those that don't already know me, I am never wrong.
The plane will fly, I already did simple experiments with a skateboard and my treadmill downstairs. Crude, but effective.

Jamie and Adam take wing to test if a person with no flight training can safely land an airplane and if a plane can take off from a conveyor belt speeding in the opposite direction. Tory, Grant, and Kari jump on some Hollywood-inspired skydiving myths.
HAZAA!

really if they just do a model it wont take more than a couple minutes. put model on treadmill, power it up, off it goes. no way they can build a real runway treadmill with a real plane anyway.

yea but i bet they could easily do th ephysics of it to prove it.
WHich most of these myths coudl havebeen proven with physics
Score: 0 points
yeah, considering a runway sized treadmill is just about the stupidest thing you could imagine.
the physics can be done in like 2 lines. 30,000 pounds of thrust in one direction, miniscule amount of frictional force in the opposite direction

i'm still hoping they take the last 30 seconds to be like "you're a MORON if you think it won't take off, here's a toy plane on a treadmill, here's the physics, GOODNIGHT!"
how can they put it in the description and then not do it?
