I see some hefty wire rigging, so probably not.

why not just use a normal treadmill and a rc plane?

I have an electric treadmill but it doesn't go very fast and I doubt any normal one would go fast enough. I'd say you'd need to make a custom one persay.

While wind tunnels have been used to design cars for years, the results can be affected by the fact that the ground is still. This machine solves that problem, in truly dramatic and dangerous fashion.

Does anyone else see the retardedness??

going by comments on the article, that was a photo of the rolling floor mechanism being tested prior to installation. (in the floor of a wind tunnel) So its not quite as bad as it looks.

Id say they dont use a dyno cause they want to see some movement across the belt as a result of wind rather than have it strapped to the floor and just have its wheels spin.

Considering how much it cost to build that thing, you think a sensor for sideways pressure is going to blow the budget on a dyno?

Considering how much it cost to build that thing, you think you know better than the guys who spent the money on it?

I am not saying I know better, which is why I asked two questions. If I thought I knew better I would have made statements to that effect.

e.g.
Does bah suck a lot of cock?
Bah sucks a lot of cock.

Could shads mum charge any less for sucking cock??

Where the question already implies the answer.

Damn....I thought this thread was about a plane...lolz, but we all know the answer to that question eh.

I am also amazed at how many qgl members suck cock, or have moms who suck qgl cock.
