MY arguement is that using a runway sized treadmill totally defeats the purpose of using a treadmill. People like you are redefining what a treadmill is so you can spout physics lessons and try to make people feel stupid.
The length of the treadmill has absolutely ZERO bearing on the question.[/b]

in case you're serious .. why not?[/b]
Because the plane moves regardless of what the treadmill is doing.

Why would the length matter?

Why would a ten foot treadmill be any different than a 20 foot treadmill?

The wheels are NOT a part of the drive system of a plane.

Put dyno's on the front AND rear wheels of the plane. SAME thing. The plane will move OFF the dyno.
