Wow, 90 pages of discussion on that site and still people arguing. I'm curious to get the opinions of those people here who thought the plane wouldn't fly:
Do you feel, as some people do on the fan site, that the expiriment was done incorrectly due to a failure to match the conveyor speed to the plane speed correctly?
Do you believe that they interpreted the myth wrong, and that the myth, by definition, means that the plane cannot move forward and is supposed to just lift off the ground like a helicopter?
Or do you now feel that you were wrong in your understanding of the myth or of physics and that the results are valid?
