HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ENGINEERS SUCK ASS
Did it arrive on time?
That was awesome that the plane took off. Didn't see that one coming.
pap
do engineers make 200K?
Conveyor engineers do.
its replaying right now
that was retarded, the plane was going forward. i thought that they both had to be going the same speed and the plane held in place?

Missed the whole point of the question?

I wanna quote this guy too.
sometimes you just can't fix stupid.
Frio - I thought the same thing. If the plane goes forward, of course its gonna take of. Is this the debate you people have been having for the last year? Duh...of course if the plane goes faster than the conveyor belt its going to eventually take off if it gets up enough speed. It just takes longer for it to reach the necessary speed to take off. This is similar to adding some other kind of drag or resistance.
I believe the question actually posited whether the plane would take off if the conveyor belt moved in the reverse direction at the same speed as the plane was going forward (staying in place). If this was not the question, then this thread has been a waste of my time.

If the plane moves forward at sufficient speed it takes off. If it doesnt move forward no takeoff (unless you are on another planet with amazing winds).
The way the mythbusters did it, I don't understand the point of the conveyor.
Dare I say it... the way they used it, the conveyor is moot.

teh dumb is strong with this one as well
the plane was going forward at the same speed the conveyor was moving backwards.
the conveyor is moot regardless of how you use it
hth

Well I'm sorry. If I had understood the question then I would have told you a year ago that of course it would have taken off. Like the saying goes, "the conveyor is moot".
What a pointless exercise.

That is why you FAIL.

THIS WAS the question
except the staying in place part
the airplane does not stay in place regardless of the speed of the conveyor
hth
Worthless.

First, you've never seen me use a conveyor.

please explain to me the difference between the wheels in a car and the wheels in an airplane

But see that's misleading. The way I have always been explained the myth was "the wheels are going as fast as the belt" In that case, the plane would not move, and would not take off. However, as it was done the wheels were going TWICE as fast as the belt, therefor it got up to speed to take off.

oh good god.......... Even after it is explained, demonstrated in scale, and full size, some people still don't understand...............
yellowpot, these last couple of posters here make me want to cry
