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.

[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]

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

[JN210]

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

[weshole]

Booyah!!!!! MYTH BUSTED!!!!!

[amicheze]

I wouldn't want that guy to be flying the plane I'm in.
