Plane on a conveyor belt
-
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.
-
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?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.

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

oh man,, your kidding right?

The wording of the myth could be the cause for the confusion...
If you read the myth as the plane will not have any forward motion with respect to the surrounding air, it won't fly.
If you read the myth as the plane will eventually have forward motion with respect to the surrounding air, it will fly.
An understanding of physics and a little in depth thinking will make a person realize that since the thrust is coming from the prop/jets and not going into wheel-power, the wheels have no actual purpose other than support and the plane will ALWAYS be able to overcome with conveyor's speed.

But then you have to ignore physics. It never says it stops forward motion, just that it moves at the same speed in the opposite direction, which cannot stop the plane from taking off.
If you read the myth as the plane will eventually have forward motion with respect to the surrounding air, it will fly.

This is the only way to read the myth and have real world physics applied to it.**An understanding of physics and a little in depth thinking will make a person realize that since the thrust is coming from the prop/jets and not going into wheel-power, the wheels have no actual purpose other than support and the plane will ALWAYS be able to overcome with conveyor's speed.
Which means the plane always takes off, regardless of how you read the riddle.

The original question never said anything about the plane not being able to move, in fact, it says that the plane moves in the opposite direction, so how could that be confused as that the plane can't move??
