Without responding to all of your 2piR references, the major flaw is you (and other CF'ers) fail to see that motion through air and motion over ground are two different things. Do you understand that you can have motion over ground without motion through air (i.e. tailwind)? Do you understand that you can have motion through air without motion over ground (headwind)?

Answer those two questions for me.
Uh, yeah, I understand those things. Like why it can take 15.5 hours to fly LAX-HKG and only 12 hours to fly the same route back? Winds.

Do YOU understand that those two things are irrelevant if the plane is stationary on the ground and has not achieved flight?
