Default Re: Physics graduate from Daryn\'s alma mater\'s answer

What if we assume that the plane is at its air/ground take-off velocity and on the conveyor? Now we have lift=gravity. The plane is moving relative to the air/ground. Isn't this the same as the situation of a plane just taking off on a regular runway?

Edit: i.e. if we consider the earth as the conveyor, then this is just a regular plane taking off?
