Well I don't think I'm very good at explaining things, but I'll give it another try.Originally posted by ViperArry
Why is the plane capable of moving on the conveyor?
The plane moves because the engines push against the air (which is not moving), not the moving conveyor.Comment

It's a very strange situation.....
With all this explanations (Thanks!) I understand it....
But, when you first look at it, you'd say... it won't ever fly.
Funny thing is.... the website says....
I graduated in Civil Engineering... so this isn't allways correct.I watched and listened to the disagreement for a while and was fascinated to see that the argument seemed to split between those who had some engineering or math background, all of whom said the airplane would takeoff and fly without any problem; and those with some other background,
Still I'd like to see the Mythbusters do this...... only to see the big engines burn and stuff.....Comment

This plane ran out of gas a few weeks ago and it's ready for another coat of Wax already. I hope the pilot at least washed it properly by using the 2 bucket method.Jeff Smith

Agreed! I never graduated anything, and my last IQ test put me at 72. :pOriginally posted by ViperArry

The amount of mass that the propeller has to move is the same; it is the mass of the plane. The movement of the conveyor doesn't change that.Originally posted by Rusty Bumper
I don't agree.
There is a certain amount of mass that has to be overcome. I'm not saying the plane can't fly though.As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than a bunch of honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed that way.Comment

This is not true.....The conveyor stops when the engine(s) stop.Originally posted by Rusty Bumper
If the engines were off then the plane would move backward with the conveyor.
My mistake.r. b.Comment

Yes, your mistake.
No, the conveyor won't stop with the engines.
The wheels have NO drive.
The plane will stop rolling on the conveyor, and after a certain amount of time, it will go backward.
PLZ, start to show signs of understanding!Comment
