Can a plane take off in a wind tunnel?

Ever been to the Wright Brothers museum at Kitty Hawk?

Here's a hint.
The Wright Brothers were the ones who invented the wind tunnel... so they could prove the idea of airplane flight first.
The have a model of the same one with a plane inside of it.

Now since we know why Kitty Hawk is famous... what do you think happens when you turn on the tunnel...

some big security guard comes and breaks your eye socket, for messing with Orvil and Wilbers old shiat?

IIRC they have the original in a display case though

Based on some comments on the other thread...

only if the wind in the tunnel is moving fast enough to create lift, the plane isn't anchored down, and if the wind tunnel is large enough to fit the plane

Well that depends on what the fans interest are. The fan may think RatLabguy is attractive and it may not.

Wind tunnels are easily aroused.
