It clearly says the treadmill goes as fast as the wheels. So no matter how much throttle the pilot applies, the plane stays stationary.


I think we would all agree that a plane could fly at a constant speed 10ft above a treadmill moving in an opposite direction but equal speed. The plane could even chose to accelerate if it wanted to.

Why would lowering free-spinning landing gear from the same plane over the same treadmill prevent it from continuing to fly or even accelerating?
