A plane is standing on a runway that can move (some sort of band conveyer like a treadmill). The plane moves in one direction, while the conveyer moves in the opposite direction. This conveyer has a control system that tracks the plane speed and tunes the speed of the conveyer to be exactly the same (but in opposite direction).
The question is: Will the plane take off or not? Will it be able to run up and take off?

Oh Jesus not this again....the answer is no, because at the takeoff speed of 175mph the air moving under the wings aids the air produced by the jets.

Yes, because the wheels do not drive the plane, the jet engines do so they will move the plane through the air (even if the wheels are on the ground).
However you will probably encounter some parasidic drag from the wheels rolling resistance, and possibly tire/wheel bearing/ undercarriage failure from teh extra heat and or forces from the wheels having to spin at twice their normal speed.

Are you guys crazy? Airplanes fly because of lift, the engines create forward motion, forward motion cause air movement around wings which creates lift, no forward motion, no lift, no lift, no fly! Basic.

Wrong. It doesn't matter what the wheels do. The wheels could be spinning at 1000 mph and it doesn't matter. The thrust of the engine will push it forward. Now if you have a 10,000 foot conveyor, the plane will take off.

hahaha! You're right! Because the engines pull/push the plane though the air. The wheels will just turn. Ha all of you guys are right, I am a dumbass and don't deserve to live!!! man, I got stuck on forward motion but the wheels don't dictate that on a plane, duh! |
