Hey, I come here to relax, not exercise my brain!
Seriously, fun question... If the situation were fish sitting on the bottom of a jar of water (weight = jar+water+fish), I would expect the jar of water plus fish to still weigh the same if the fish all started swimming.
(Weight: Jar + water + fish[on bottom]) = (Weight: Jar + water + fish [swimming])
So does it follow that
(Weight: Airplane + air + birds[standing on floor]) = (Weight: Airplane + air + birds[flying around])
?

EDIT: Why does my message have that "Attachments...SlugMan..." crapola at the bottom? I didn't put it there, and it's not there now while I'm trying to edit the message.

it's morning and I just woke up so correct me if I say something stupid haha
well a gliding bird is losing height, so while its gliding (falling) it will put slightly less weight onto the plane through the air, altho at the moment when the bird lands the plane will be more than 1500LB overweight,
A falling helicopter puts no force (or little) on the ground underneath it,, until it crashes and it puts lots of force on it, while a flying helicopter puts a constant force on it
Or did I miss something?
the system is closed,,, altho while a bird moves downward it has to push away the same volume of air in the other direction, but air is not as heavy as a bird so the centre of the mass of the plane will move down while the bird falls.
Either way the plane won't be able to fly,
more of these posts please haha,,, (altho I only check mariusnet once every halfyear or so...)
lets click submit and make a fool out of myself
