 IF..he was in Mississippi,having previously gone to same, he would have to have stopped for food..southern food..IE: there would INDEED have been wind in his car. And if the rear windows were closed, with child locks, anyone in rear seat would have asphyxiated..a sad end.

If I get into a car in Mississippi and drive at 65 miles an hour north to Ohio...  when I get to Ohio and step out of the car, I've actually just broken the laws of physics and warped that distance instantly.  I never moved.  I sat down in my car, sat there for 17 hours, and then magically appeared in Ohio when I opened the door.  This is the same effect you're describing with the carrier.  You're definitely not moving and have a 0 velocity.

I believe that's correct...  or maybe it's all just relative?    :bolt:

 :huh

Had to.

That isn't wind, it is the speed of the ship you are sitting on.
which is sped up from IRL speeds to accomodate wind during takeoff from the CV iirc

The million dollar question is: can a storch take off from a treadmill?

Yes, it can. The treadmill won't keep its from going forward, it will just make its landing gear wheels spin at a higher RPM.

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Yes, but the point is that its still not wind.


Wrong.  It is "relative wind" -- which happens to be all the wing cares about.

Exactly.  Airplanes aren't cars.  They don't generate thrust by the traction of their tires.
