But, what about the case where the conveyor moves SIDEWAYS to match the speed of the airplane?

Has anyone done THAT calculation?

Won't the propulsion force from the wheels have a problem making the airplane get airborne?

Who buys that crap that the wheels aren't the propulsive force of airplanes?

A bunch of moran loosers, THAT'S who!!!!

Do the kittens get to Heaven on God's conveyor belt?

Or is that kitten Purgatory?

Cats go to purgatory because they don't have souls.

I disagree with OneMan... Cats don't deserve the purgatory...

The conveyor is really moot now.

Can a plane takeoff when everyone is pitching a tent?
Red Skye

Depends on the gravitational pull of the pitched tents.

"Mythbusters will probably screw this up by not making the conveyor long enough."

Idiots, wind makes the plane take off, the length of the conveyor would only need to be as long as the wheel base of the plane.

If the plane is sitting still then no, it will not take off. Some of you are seriously retarded.

"Anyone who has any idea how a plane works should know it will take off"

Those two quotes are shamefully stupid.
