So did we ever get confirmation that it would not take off?

I don't know but the conveyor belt is moot unless chili beans are involved right?

It will fly, stop thinking about a car (powered by the wheels) and think about a plane (powered by moving air around).

I know it's been said a billion times, I just wanted to add to the useless thread count.

Yer right ...

The conveyor belt is moot.

Hey,

I didn't revive it this morning.

Although you know I would have.

I credit you with reviving it yesterday.

how will it fly? I know it is powered by moving air, but where would it get it's upward thrust? It doesn't have anything to give it lift.

The props.

Oh Snap!

Santa's sleigh is stuck on a conveyor and cannot take off. There will be billions of disappointed children this year.

DOL,

Yikes!

With your tremendous brood, you'll have a great time covering for the bearded one.

I'll save a mint with this excuse.

"Sorry kids, I guess Santa never could get his sleigh off that conveyor belt. Maybe next year"

Yes I do.

I think this year I'll buy a treadmill and a model plane.

I'll prove once and for all that the plane does NOT take off.

If you don't know how to fly don't be in the cockpit.

Because ...

You are going to be surprised and suddenly in a panic simultaneously.

The props can give enough lift? I didn't think they could. I honestly don't know though.

Unless the conveyor influences the airflow it is moot.

If the conveyor belt was so well-designed and lubricated that it made no sound whatsoever, would it be mute and moot?

I'm talking about the lack of air passing over the wings and hitting the flaps to give upward movement. The conveyor eliminates that does it not?

Yes. That sucker won't take off.

The wheels just turn faster ...

Consider it this way ... can a plane take off from a standstill on a conventional runway?

Face,

Great point ... but of course my greatest concern would be whether or not the pilot instruments provide output in braille.

no it can't take off from standstill. the speed of the wheels has nothing to do with the lift.

I see planes take off from a standstill all the time.

What if it were a sea plane?

Then the conveyor belt would be moat.

Badman doesn't know about this little outfit in Amarillo, or a small British plane.
