A conundrum to mull over.
Not sure if this was ever meant to be taken seriously.

But if so, then to my mind, SP's proposition:
Seafront Plodder Wrote:You appear to be saying that if a plane requires (say) ground speed of 80mph to generate enough airspeed to lift, then it could not take off with an 80mph tailwind because airspeed would be zero.
seems to be correct. Lift is generated by the relative motion of wings to air.

Is this some sort of allusion to the futility of running on a treadmill?
