Imagine a plane is sat on the beginning of a massive conveyor belt/travelator type arrangement, as wide and as long as a runway, and intends to take off. The conveyer belt is designed to exactly match the speed of the wheels at any given time, moving in the opposite direction of rotation.
There is no wind.
Can the plane take off?

And why would a plane, that is designed to take you places[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] be sitting on a conveyor belt/travelator[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Must be a ride for people with to much time and money on their hands[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Its assumed that even though "there is no wind" the plane is still going to procede with t/o as normal. The wheels could be spinning at 2480753847384mph but as long as there is thrust the plane will move forward. And will eventually overpower the conveyor.
Discuss.

If the plane is sitting on a coveyor belt that can rotate as fast as the wheels on the plane will turn, then how would the plane fly? Forward motion would be restricted due to the wheel spin being matched by the conveyor belt.

I knew it would work from the minute i read the question.
Now, we just need someone like "Mythbusters" to do an episode on this. It would be GREAT! Infact, there is also a BIG thread on their site as well. Ill see if i can dig up a link. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
