hey may be out joggingyou are still a creep tbh
Is vanster in the room with you?
lemme check strava
Those things act like a helicopter
We're talking about things that need a running start
I'm pretty much at the point of understanding what the wheels are doing as they're applying pressure to the ground isn't really relevant I would still like to understand what they are doing as the plane is being pushed down the belt runway...

Waiting for enough thrust and lift to achieve lift off.. a running start is easier but liftoff is achievable from a stationary position because it it about moving air.. not the ground... god I hope I expressed that right
I don't believe it's just pure thrust from Jets or props that that would allow it to take off from a stationary position.. I can step on the rudder brakes in a Cessna 150 and give it full throttle and that thing isn't moving .
if I let off the brakes it will start to slowly roll....

No,
once it's off the ground it has achieved enough AirSpeed to keep it flying/climbing. You go below the airplanes stall speed and you're going down but fortunately you have wings that will allow you to Glide but going down regardless.
Why do jets and airplanes need a runway to achieve,,,
Wait for it wait for it
Airspeed
If you're telling me that planes and jets just need to have full power with their brakes locked and once they release their break they launch into the air then that's not right. Somehow it's moving forward on this belt getting up to AirSpeed and then lifting off....

Go fly a helicopter and then tell me why it doesn't need wings but an airplane does.
