hehe seems like fun :D did you make plane by yourself?

[djnrgphysics]

Nope. Plane is from toys r us. $6 big foam plane.

this is so cool....was this at your high school?

[xDaNathanShowx]

so thats what happened at Hiroshima...

@madnesscombat5 Well what i was saying is they are "Thrusting" it forward and not "Accelarating". for say "accelarating" uses thrust as a forward movement but its constint unless told to stop, and "thrust" as a quick burst of forward movement thats not constint. thats how i think of it. but Yes i agree with you they both need one another to work.

[madnesscombat5]

@NXTfreak528 they are not the same thing, you could apply thrust to an object and it would not move any faster then it already was, thrust is the measurement of a force, acceleration is the measurement of a change in speed, two completely different things.

[NXTfreak528]

@madnesscombat5 acceleration is the same as thrust but acceleration keeps going, for example a prop on a plane gives acceleration for the plane. And thrust is like a 3 Sec rocket that pushes the object then stops and the object for say glides. And you only need Buoyancy if you land on water.

why does the air force let you borrow their ac130's? a terrorist could see this video and raid your school...
