But what im saying is that will the belt not play any role in this whatsoever.
Would it not be like a racecar in a wind tunnel. They set those cars on belts and run them as if they were running full speed but they still have to generate the wind from a fan to get the realistic areodynamic info from the car. Does the forward motion of the plane not do anything, because if it is still does that not mean that there is no air speed?
