The intro to the show did not mention anything about it.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
the preview info on direct tv mentions nothing of any sort of conveyor
it says something about landing a plane in inclement weather conditions
it says something about landing a plane in inclement weather conditions
tvguide and tv.com both mention the conveyor.
Seriously, why didn't they mention it? Did they scrap the test, or are they just trying to piss off the millions of people who are tuned in for this episode?
i think tvguide.com mentions it
what chanell is this thing on in austin
discovery, dont know what channel that is for you..
just found it!
Doesn't matter what channel it is on, they are not going to do it.
That simulator would be fun
The simulator is moot!
i cant believe that this argument is still going. anyone who says the plane wont take off doesnt understan the question.
what channel
I asked before and no one answered, what is the whole conveyor belt thing about?

Discovery channel you n00bs.
They haven't even mentioned the conveyor belt yet. They better do it!
The rest of the description has been nails, I bet they do it at the end.
- Adam and Jamie find out if either of them can safely land a Boeing 747-400 on a runway in varying weather conditions.
- Kari, Tory and Grant risk life and limb to investigate skydiving myths regularly featured in Hollywood action films. Is it possible to catch up with someone in freefall if that person jumps out a plane before you do? Can you really hold a conversation during freefall? And would you survive if you opened your parachute only a few feet off the ground?
- Finally, Adam and Jamie carefully navigate their way through a myth that has baffled everyone from web bloggers to pilots. If a plane is traveling at takeoff speed on a conveyor belt, and the belt is matching that speed in the opposite direction, can the plane take off? Extensive small-scale testing with a super treadmill and a nearly uncontrollable model airplane don't completely resolve the myth, so our flight cadets supersize the myth with help from a willing pilot and his Ultralight flying machine.
yeah, i'm thinking its going to take them about 5 mins. it will be one of the secondary things that they do, after they finish with all this can an amateur fly stuff
where is that from McInnis?
So the plane is moving and the conveyor is moving the opposite way at the same speed? Wouldn't that mean the plan is not moving, or am I misunderstanding? As long as the plane is actually moving it will take off...
yes, the plane can move, the wheels just spin. there is a little friction of course, but not enough to make the plane stationary.
