Plane on a conveyor belt

[bubba]

^ exactly...the plane is moving forward at the same speed as it would on a runway same airflow, lift etc...all the conveyor belt does is make the wheels spin twice as fast...so unless the wheels blow and it crashes and burns it will fly, lol

Ha.... I just threw the "Gary is a homo" thing in there to piss you off

I will have to go back and read your physics lesson cuz i didn't read this whole thread

And i still think it is easy for people to be confused and think that the plane cannot/is not moving forward in space

can you explain why there is no lift?

he is saying there is no lift on the wings if the plane isn't moving forward (he is correct)(prop plane will though)...... he thinks it is not moving forward

I rethunk this for a while today. There is no way the belt will hold it back. But the start of this myth was so planes could take off in smaller areas ( off boats and crap ) Wich is not possible because the belt in no way effects the speed or airflow around the aircraft. So basically a conveyor belt will not affect the plane in any way. The take off distance will be exactly the same just with the wheels spinning super fast. I thought you guys meant if the conveyor belts hauling ass and the plane just happens to be on it rolling it'll take off.

Please show proof of said statement that the conveyor will help shorten the runway space needed. It wasn't part of the original question.

Other than that, glad you finally got it.

well they are gonna do this on mythbusters tomorrow at 9

[JN210]

I just looked and it is gonna be at 8....today....maybe its different for different tv stations and such?

[Guest]

What I think is funny is that I posted the leaked answer from Mythbusters and the "No" responses are still going up...lol

3 minutes till n00b's get pwn3d!!!

[KA-T_240]

I just bumped the 2 year old thread on MNSC. 36% on there think plane takes off.

its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........its gonna fly..........

Its On Now!!!!!!, I Say Fly!!!!!

[Parker]

looking pretty bad for those non-believers

[inspector01]

I can understand not getting it right away, but if you still think it won't take off after it has been explained, then you are retarded.

[GhettoFabulousCRX]

yeah,, and it took off on the telivisions. If you didn't don't beleive the stuff on their than your a dummay

So, you think they are flawed in their method of testing?

[JN210]

^they could be...they have ONLY been doing this kinda stuff for how long now?......seriously..if you STILL dont think it will fly...go jump off a cliff lol

no no no. It's obvious it'll take off. I posted that days ago. I posted up at first, "no way man not gonna happen". Then thought about it and the concept hit me.

[inspector01]

The pilot doesn't think it is gonna take off, hahha
