We were ahead of our time when it came to out of the box thinking

We have to get through to severed. Get him to think about this problem through a different lens. C'mon guys let's get it done!
 
I would like to point out that at no point here did I make fun of severed INT roll; however, I am moving on, I feel nothing further can be done.
 
This one has gone around and around and around.. sev getting caught up in it is late but normal

lmao then how do you explain this?

the only thing the wheels/floats are doing is keeping the plane/props/jets from hitting the ground/water and creating more friction. ffs

Exactly. and without the wheels...or the pontoons in this case, the plane wouldn't move or it would move very slowly, grinding along and it wouldn't take off. The wheels (pontoons) help the plane overcome the physical drag of the ground or water. Without pontoons that thing would be a backwards running power boat.

An aircraft carrier illustrates this. If the engines themselves could make the planes take off, they wouldn't need a catapult on an aircraft carrier, they wouldn't need to turn into the wind to maximize lift, they wouldn't use ski jumps to boost the plane a little higher to give the engines a chance to help the plane build velocity to create lift.

The point being the engines power is irrelevant if the plane never reaches the proper speed along the ground and it will never reach the proper speed if the "ground" is moving just as fast in the opposite direction

If you had ice going one way
and the plane is being skidded across another way
do you really think that's the same thing as the wheels matching the exact opposite of a treadmill for a take off?
or water skidding under a seaplane ? really
You know the rulz

plane still not moving

an air plane has a prop to move air over the wings and generate lift.

how do it do
 
ok you got a seaplane
and you decide to take it to the rapids
so head upstream
pretty strong pushing you downstream
but you crank your small engine aircraft
but still find yourself not getting anywhere

oh well,,, what the hell
pull the wheel back


what happens

hahahahahaha

Wings don't generate lift because they move at a certain speed relative to the ground. They generate lift when they move a certain speed through the air.

If you tied the plane to a truck standing on the road in front of the treadmill, it wouldn't matter how fast the treadmill was spinning, the truck would pull the plane forward with ease. Airplane's engine thrust does exactly the same thing.

You guys are epically failing at grasping this concept.
 
you can literally write an equation that proves it will fly and not one that proves it won't
