Default The question of the day is:
If a plane is traveling at takeoff speed on a conveyor belt, and that conveyor belt is matching the speed in reverse, can the plane take off?

Since a plane uses force and not traction i would say yes, final answer

You guys gotta be kidding

Think about it. The plane is powered by JET ENGINES, not TIRES!!!! C'mon now!!! lol. The conveyer belt is not going to affect a plane where the wheels don't do crap but brake. The engines push the plane using air, not traction on the ground.

WOW!!! I'm very dissappointed [&o]
