If you are running on a treadmill holding a hangglider, and you jump forward, will you fly?
no, there is no air resistance....
You are RUNNING down the tread mill by using feet to push off the treadmill. You misconception is here. A jet plane does NOT USE WHEELS to push off the tread mill, thus the speed of the given shitty fuckin' tread mill does not matter. laugh
