Re: Can the Plane Take-Off?

You'd have to move the runway fast enough to move the wheels fast enough where the friction generated in the wheel bearings is so much that it heats up the wheel to so hot that it blows the tire and the airplane landing gear collapses and it falls on it's belly where there is large friction between it and the belt and then it is swept away backward.

Of course by the time the belt got moving that fast, the airplane would already be flying.
