[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] There is a plane (Boeing 777, prop plane, whatever) on a moving, conveyor-type runway. The runway moves in the opposite direction of the plane at the exact same speed as the plane's wheels. There is no wind. Can the plane take off? [/ QUOTE ] Yes. [/ QUOTE ] BIMO

Re: think about this...
Patrick, you actually enjoy watching this thing spiral out of control, don't you? I expect to see pwnage the likes of which OOT has never seen. I am looking forward to this more than I am Dominic's next porn bloopers post (well almost [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]).

This is the kind of [censored] that OOT is supposed to be about. Don't get too excited - I really don't see what's so complicated about this problem, so my explanation will be pretty simple.

The conveyor imparts no force on the plane to counter thrust because the wheel bearings are frictionless. In the absence of this counter force, the plane will accelerate forward.

[/ QUOTE ] This is all true and isn't what we (or at least I) am arguing. What we want you to explain is how can a wheel move with respect to the runway if they are going the same speed.
