Re: Can the Plane Take-Off?
The plane could take off. Planes do not put any force into the wheels when it taxis. It moves the same way it does in the air, prop or jet. Due to inertia you could say the plane would stay in the same position relative a third stationary observer. the conveyer belt could move back and forth rapidly and the plane would still stay still. All the wheels do is just keep the plane from falling and give it support when it has 0 lift. If you turn on the prop the plane would move foward, it doesnt matter at all what the conveyer belt does, the only force it can put on the plane is up. If you had a converyer belt long enought he plane would take off for it would be moving compared to the 3rd stationary oberserver. The only way it would not work is if the conveyer belt was not long enough or there was a strong tail wind. but a plane can not take off without a conveyer belt in thos conditions.
