I love thai! Imagine an aircraft is sat on the beginning of a massive conveyor belt/travelator type arrangement, as wide and as long as a runway, and it intends to take off. The conveyer belt is designed to exactly match the speed of the wheels at any given time, moving in the opposite direction of rotation. There is no wind. Can the aircraft take off?

Yeah the engines provide the thrust, not the wheels. So as long as the wheels can roll as fast the plane needs for take-off speed plus the speed of the conveyer belt, then it will go. :bounce_g::bounce_g::bounce_g:

How many pigeons would it take to lift a 747 jet?
