typed up a good response and noticed a single flaw....
so if you put a toy car on a treadmill and simulate a planes forward force by pressing on the car to keep it in position on the treadmill and accelarte the treadmill at a constant rate, will you feel more force on your finger from the car as the speed increases?
so in a hypothetical situation you could make it so the plane does not move forward right? i don't care if it has to go a 11ty billion mph
Just so I understand, you are hypothesizing that the force against your finger will increase as the speed of the treadmill increases, on and on forever, so that in the parallel scenario the force of friction acting on the airplane overcomes the power of the airplane's engines, right? That because the airplane's engines have a maximum thrust, there must be a point when, if the treadmill were spinning at the speed of light, for example, the force of friction generated by such speeds would overtake that maximum thrust thus preventing the airplane from moving forward?
