Re: Can the Plane Take-Off?

I fear adding even more 'bad physics' to the discussion, so instead I'll simply pose a different question.

If the conveyor belt was capable of not only matching, but exceeding the velocity of the aircraft, could you stop it from becoming airborne? If so, theoretically, what speed must the conveyor travel to achieve that result?

I think I know the answers, but again -- I'm scared of 'bad physics'.
