Imagine a 747 is sitting on a conveyor belt, as wide and long as a runway. The conveyor belt is designed to exactly match the speed of the wheels, moving in the opposite direction. The wheels are frictionless. Can the plane take off?

Of course it will you fucking dumb shit, the wheels are passive

not really no

You won't go anywhere.
Jordan Long
No.
Camden Rogers
show me a 747, or indeed, any aircraft which is driven by the wheels being turned, and I'll show you a plane that wont take off.
otherwise, they all take off, with the wheels spinning twice as fast as normal.
Angel Wright
Depends how fast belt goes...
First moving belt will have no effect, but after some time on huge speed wind current will form above belt . Due size of machine and model it will be not strong enough to "lift" plane, but you should see it jumping on air currents under wings...
Aaron Sanders
Yes it'll take off, because the wheels have nothing to do with the air speed produced by the engines. The conveyor running against wheel speed just means the wheels will eventually destruct from spinning too fast, but the plane will still move forward.
Christian Foster
So the body of the plane is not moving... and you expect it to take off? Don't be absurd.
Easton Roberts
YOU NEED AIR PRESSURE FOR THE AIR FOIL SHAPE OF THE AND THUS LIFT, THIS IS BASIC FIRST GRADE BERNULES OR ARCHIMEDES I DNT RMBR EXACTLY PRINCIPLE AIR PRESSURE SO NO THE PLANE WONT TAKE OFF UNLESS ITS WINDY AF AND ITS AIMED AGAINST THE WIND A MIGHT BOB UP A BIT DEPENDING IF ITS RLLY FAST WIND
Brody Johnson
Yes. The magnetic field generator in the wings still repeals the naturally occurring iron in the earth beneath the conveyor belt runway, duh.
Levi Reed
>The wheels are frictionless
Then yes, as the thrust of the plane doesn't come from the wheels but the engines. All that will happen is the wheels will spin twice as fast.

This is just fucking stupid, and it's BEEN fucking stupid for 10+ years. It's that old.
Christian Morales
You're a fucking idiot. Air needs to be moving over the wing to cause a negative pressure. If the plane is stationary then there's no wind and it will not take off
Juan Myers
Of course it won't take off because there's the fucking frame in the way that holds the waddle paddles and the chips holder and the coke IV and the mayonnaise dispenser and the burger grill and the fitness show TV!
Henry Diaz
The wings would hit those posts holding up the treadmill console and break off. Of course it wouldn't take off.
Brandon Torres
If the plane basically stationary on a conveyor belt, Bernoulli's principal will not happen.
Anthony Jenkins
treadmill could be moving backwards at warp 8 make it so, and plane would still move forward as normal because the thing that moves the plane forward are the engines. The wheels are like a car that's in neutral.
Bentley Morgan
Opps *anti-magnetic field generator*
Samuel Butler
except the wheels would not be able to spin so fast and would fail, then the entire plane goes boom
Nathaniel Diaz
op said wheels are frictionless
Andrew Russell
>exactly match the speed of the wheels
>>wheels are frictionless
There's your problem. It will takeoff.
Justin Perry
To clarify, the engines are what gives the force, so it will move ahead regardless of the treadmill. The wheels will rotate passively, but will not have an effect on the aircraft moving.
Carson Reed
It needs thrust.
Grayson Nguyen
right, well then in a world where magic is real it would take off vertically, sure
Austin Hughes
what are aircraft engines if not big air movers generating wind?
Jacob Kelly
planes aren't cars, user.
Dominic Brown
no because theres no air resistance. its not moving
Jacob Allen
If it worked, don't you think they would have them on aircraft carriers already?

Nathaniel Ramirez
HAHAHAHA You're the dumbest person in this thread you fuckhead
Lift is generated by the wings.
If the speed of the plane, and the speed of the conveyor belt are equal, the plane doesn't move forward or backward.
The plane is immobile.
The wings don't generate lift.
You fucking retard.
>being this dumb
Logan Foster
Not without a bit of airflow past those wings
Hudson Scott
Agree

Charles Watson
The plane is propelled by jet engines, regardless of whether or not the place remains on the conveyor belt to build up speed,, once the speed needed is reached the plane can take off.
Brayden Morgan
Oh no, how will it take off without wheels?!?!
