Well, yes and no... a plane fly because of the airflow speed trough the wings generates lift. So if you speed the air trough the wings the airplane can fly. For example one Propeller aircraft in theory can generate enough air flow speed to create lift. And a jet engine also can do this, if you put the jet engine in a position that the thrust generate enough airflow and that air go trough the wings then the plane fly. This is just theoric, i don´t know any airplane with the engines in that position or a propeller airplane that can do that. more the helicopter fly without wings, just with a giant propeller :)

Yes the plane can take off, as it is not the wheels driving the plane forward. Rather the thrust is propelling the plane. The wheels will just spin faster and the plane will move forward and eventually take off. This scenario only works if the conveyor is as long as a run way though

Thrust is against the air and not the ground. If the wheels provided the force to move forward the plane would remain in position.

No bcs the plane needs to go fast enough to have enough air flowing over the wings to generate enough lift to take off.

Well, it can take off... if the belt goes at something like 1000 or 2000 km/h. The belt will move air back, and this generates lift. (The plane will not go very far though)

Need airflow over the wings to generate lift. You can spin the wheels on the conveyor belt all you want, but if the plane is sitting still, it will not lift off.

One of the flaws in the airplane design was allowing it to be shut off. That fact was pointed out almost immediately. Some said "Oh, there are times when the crew should be able to shut it off." But the fact it was not running has cost millions and millions spent to not find the plane.

Your a pilot and you got this wrong?? Come on @captin joe. This was tested 10 years ago and demonstrated the plane will take off. You know a plane gets no forward momentum from the whells it gets it from the engines
Сергей СмирновVor Tag
The whole point was that conveyor cant exactly match speed of the wheels. Engines produce trust that pushes plane forward. So wheels need to start spinning. As soon as they start conveyor will match their speed. Buy Thrust still pushing plane forward so the wheels need no spin faster. And this wheels-conveyor accelerations continues to infinity. But infinity speed is not possible so the riddle doesn't make sense. That is what he was trying to tell.

Answer is Yes. Mythbusters did an episode on this. The means of kinetic energy comes from the engines in the form of thrust not from revolving the wheels like in cars.

No. No lift. In reality, the engines' thrust doesn't care about the conveyor belt, and will propel the plane forward, though, overpinning the wheels on the conveyor belt. However, rather than a conveyor belt, can a 747 theoretically take off in a 184 MPH eadwind (184 mph being the 747's required speed for takeoff), assuming the plane will eventuall have to transition from the 184 mph headwind to some other headwind, crosswind, or tailwind?
Left FlamingoVor Tag
Regardless of the wording, the reasoning is wrong. The wheels only spin as a function of the thrust from the engines causing the aircraft to move forward. So for the wheels to spin, there would first be forward movement. As the wheels are free spinning, there is no force preventing the forward motion created by the engine thrust. In Capt. Joe's reasoning, we increase ground speed to take off. This isn't true of course, only an effect. Only airspeed affects the takeoff, and is always greater than the ground speed, save for dead calm conditions. In either case, the plane would take off. This was a subject of a Mythbusters episode many years ago. I was very surprised that Adam and Jamie thought that the moving runway would inhibit the takeoff. It was quite clear that the aircraft would take off.

Max PowerVor Tag
I think the way this instance of the riddle is worded, we have a circular dependency which would cause the ground wheel rotation to accelerate with no upper limit? The ground wheel speed is dependent on the speed of the ground relative to the aircraft. If the aircraft was suspended in a vice or some kind of armature, say, the wheels would rotate normally with the speed of the conveyor belt. Now we introduce a new dependency- the conveyor belt speed is locked to the speed of the wheels, but rotating in the opposite direction. I think the way that is worded means that it would tend to accelerate the speed of the wheels. So if the ground tends to accelerate the wheels, and the wheels accelerate the ground (conveyor belt), I think we have a feedback loop that, as a practical matter, ends in the mechanical destruction of system components. I think this runaway increase in wheel and conveyor belt speed would be triggered by the slightest motion of the wheels relative to the conveyor belt, and might not require the jet to make any meaningful actions at all. It would probably just randomly trigger with the jet sitting on the belt.

Not sure if my solution to this riddle is correct, I would love to see it being discussed in a video: (juristication: Germany/Europe) You are a student pilot on the day of you exam and your examiner waits for you on an other airfield. Your instructor gives you a written flight order to fly to that airfield and back, making it legal for you as a student to fly there alone. What happens if you do not pass your exam? What happens if you pass your exam? [CAUTION spoiler!] . . . . If you fail, your instructor's flight order allows you to fly home. If you pass, you'll need a taxi. Since you passed, you are no longer a flight student and cannot fly with a flight order from "your" instructor. Since issuing a license takes a few days, you are not a licensed pilot either. So if you fail your flight test, you may fly home on your own. If you are good at flying and pass it, you may not fly home. Is this true?

Since the plane doesnt use its wheels to propel itself on takeoff the conveyor is a moot point and doesnt do anything for takeoff

They made a tight left u turn and could have lined up for the runway they took off from. That would have been the quickest route to landing. My question is why would they buy time in the air by passing up that runway and circling in from the opposite direction, just to complete the checklists, when they could have set down sooner? Should a crippled air craft try to stay in the air to complete checklists if they are inline for a much quicker landing? That seems like they are taking a much bigger chance of crashing by staying up! Please clear up this question of landing immediately or staying aloft to complete checklists! I feel they should have landed sooner on the same runway without completing checklists since it was offered to them. Thanks. Great video. Jpol.
